Video Editing
AI-assisted video editing: cut, structure, and augment real footage through professional workflows
What You Can Do
You can transform raw video footage into structured, professional content by leveraging AI to identify key moments, organize clips, transcribe audio, and augment with voiceovers, overlays, and subtitles. This skill guides you through a proven pipeline that emphasizes compression and smart structuring rather than AI generation—turning hours of footage into minutes of compelling content optimized for any platform.
Features
automatically generate transcripts and identify topics to find editing points
use Claude to decide what to cut, what to keep, and the optimal sequence
batch process video files, adjust quality, and format for different platforms
generate dynamic titles, transitions, and animated overlays programmatically
create professional narration with ElevenLabs or fal.ai to replace or augment existing audio
reframe and resize content for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and other channels
export-ready files for refinement in Descript or CapCut
Example Output
Example 1: Vlog from 2-hour raw footage Input: raw camera recording (2:15:00) Claude identifies: 12 key moments, 8 dead zones to cut, optimal scene order FFmpeg: removes silence, normalizes audio levels Remotion: adds title card, chapter breaks, end screen ElevenLabs: generates intro narration (30 seconds) Output: polished 8-minute vlog with subtitles and branding (ready for YouTube)
Example 2: Tutorial reframing for multiple platforms Input: single 12-minute screen recording Claude structure: breaks into 5 segments, identifies key teaching moments FFmpeg: cuts dead space, normalizes screen capture audio Remotion: adds animated code highlights and callout boxes Output: 1 YouTube version (12:00) + 3 TikTok clips (0:45 each) + 1 LinkedIn teaser (1:20)
What's Included

- Streamers & podcasters — clip and repurpose live recordings into short-form clips
- Marketing & comms teams — turn raw B-roll and interviews into promotional videos
Best For
- Long-form to short-form conversion — 1–2 hour recordings → 5–10 minute polished videos
- Multi-platform repurposing — one source video adapted for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn
- Vlog & tutorial assembly — organizing raw camera or screen capture into structured narratives
- Voiceover & narration augmentation — adding AI-generated narration to existing footage
- Batch video processing — applying consistent cuts, formatting, and branding across multiple files

This skill helps you architect complete color strategies before grading sessions begin. You'll generate detailed shot-by-shot grading maps that synchronize visual mood to dynamic audio, develop LUT strategies for specific music genres with documented creative reasoning, establish technical parameter ranges per scene or musical section, and create mood board documentation that aligns stakeholder expectations early. By treating color as a primary creative element rather than post-production cleanup, you reduce revision cycles and deliver grades that amplify both narrative and musical intent.

This skill generates comprehensive audio design documentation that bridges creative vision and technical execution. You'll produce detailed mixing specifications with priority hierarchies, platform-specific audio budgets, middleware configurations for Wwise/FMOD, and implementation workflows tailored to your target engines (Unity, Unreal, custom). It accelerates pre-production planning, clarifies audio requirements for programmers, and reduces iteration cycles during integration.

You can generate production-ready audio documentation that bridges creative sound design and technical implementation. This skill produces asset inventories with precise technical specifications, engine-specific integration instructions for Unreal, Unity, Godot and proprietary engines, platform-aware optimization strategies for mobile/console/PC, and audio middleware configuration guides that development teams can directly implement without iteration cycles.

You can build full video production workflows that generate promotional videos, product demos, social media content, and animated explainers from scratch. The skill provides a complete project scaffold with pre-built component libraries, text-to-speech integration, theme systems, and hot-reload development—allowing you to iterate quickly and output broadcast-quality motion graphics without manual keyframing.

Build detailed, shoot-ready plans that anticipate technical challenges and capture decisive moments under pressure. You'll generate venue-specific shot lists tailored to unique logistics, develop contingency workflows for unpredictable conditions (weather, lighting, timing delays), and coordinate multi-team coverage with clear positioning and equipment redundancy strategies. This skill transforms vague event briefs into actionable pre-production blueprints that keep you organized and confident on-set.

You can rapidly decode broadcast technical specifications (BT.709, HDR standards, platform-specific requirements), generate LUT strategy documentation that maintains consistency across 6-13 hour episodes, and create color decision logs for QC compliance. The skill helps you troubleshoot consistency issues between episodes, analyze failed QC reports, and plan primary correction workflows that meet all delivery specifications before grading begins.

Upload your asset specifications, render bottlenecks, or performance metrics, and receive a comprehensive optimization roadmap. Claude analyzes polygon topology, texture memory footprint, shader complexity, and LOD strategies specific to your target engine—whether game engines, live VFX systems, or AR/VR pipelines. You'll get concrete recommendations for polycount reduction, UV layout optimization, texture atlasing, and bake-versus-real-time lighting decisions, complete with documentation for handing off to animation and rigging teams.
