+### FFProbe
+
+`FFMpeg\FFProbe` is used internally by `FFMpeg\FFMpeg` to probe medias. You can
+also use it to extract media metadata.
+
+```php
+$ffprobe = FFMpeg\FFProbe::create();
+$ffprobe
+    ->streams('/path/to/video/mp4') // extracts streams informations
+    ->videos()                      // filters video streams
+    ->first()                       // returns the first video stream
+    ->get('duration');              // returns the duration property
