The argument in one line.
AI-native video editing is already a functional daily workflow where Claude handles every mechanical edit — cuts, overlays, zooms, captions, repurposing — leaving the creator to focus only on judgment and taste.
Read if. Skip if.
READ IF YOU ARE…
- You currently spend hours in a video editor doing cuts, overlays, and captions manually and want to automate the repetitive parts.
- You record interviews, tutorials, or vlogs and want to add sound effects, memes, or image overlays without hunting through your files mid-edit.
- You produce long-form content and want a free, open-source alternative to OpusClip for 9:16 repurposing with captions.
- You use Tella for screen recordings and want to control your editor directly from Claude.
- You are comfortable running Claude Code skills from the terminal and want to build a personal asset library that Claude can draw from automatically.
SKIP IF…
- You edit primarily in professional NLEs (Premiere, DaVinci) and are not willing to move to FFmpeg-based workflows.
- You need frame-accurate professional color grading or audio mixing — this workflow handles cuts and overlays, not post-production polish.
- You have no existing Claude Code setup and are not prepared for a one-time terminal-based skill installation.
The full version, fast.
The core claim is that agentic video editing is already here, not coming. The workflow rests on two foundations: custom Claude Code skills (cut-video for silence removal, Clipify for repurposing) and a personal asset library fed by a Slack bot that auto-categorizes sounds, memes, and photos into named folders Claude can reference. From there, Claude edits by reading the transcript to find the right timestamps for overlays, sound effects, and zoom events — then applies them with FFmpeg. The final third of the video demos Tella's MCP, which lets Claude perform actions directly inside the Tella editor including AutoCut, b-roll layout with Remotion-generated motion graphics, and thumbnail selection.

00:00 – 01:38
01 · Introduction
Agentic editing is already real. Social proof: viral Twitter post, 20K views on Remotion video, credits Renee Shaw. Overview of what this video covers.
01:38 – 04:31
02 · Rough Cuts
The cut-video Claude Code skill uses Whisper and FFmpeg. Train it on your own reference video for style-matched cuts. Demo removes 1.5 min from a 7.5-min interview.
04:31 – 08:28
03 · Image Overlays
Give Claude a Google Slides PDF link. It extracts photos, crops padding, maps images to transcript timestamps. 20-photo overlay demo with minor manual correction for one misplaced image.
08:28 – 10:04
04 · Sound Effects
Slack bot saves a Duolingo sound effect URL to assets/sounds/ automatically. Claude adds correct and wrong sounds at the right moments based on transcript.
10:04 – 11:54
05 · Using Memes
Same Slack bot workflow for meme videos. Claude places confused math lady at 1:46 instead of requested 1:50 by detecting peak confusion in transcript.
11:54 – 14:33
06 · Transitions and Zooms
Cinematic language works (Ken Burns, harsh zoom). Manual timestamp override shown. Specificity is the key lever. Reference videos help Claude learn your editing style.
14:33 – 16:12
07 · Short Form Repurposing
Clipify skill (300 GitHub stars). Picks funniest moments, outputs 9:16 with captions, speaker-zoom or split-screen mode. Free alternative to OpusClip.
16:12 – 20:23
08 · Tella MCP
Tella's MCP exposes 50+ editor actions to Claude: AutoCut, b-roll layout, Remotion motion graphic generation, upload as MP4 b-roll. Requires separate Remotion setup.
20:23 – 21:00
09 · Generating Thumbnails
Tella MCP get_video_thumbnail: Claude finds frames where eyes face forward for usable thumbnail candidates. Returns multiple options.
21:00 – 21:57

Lines worth screenshotting.
- The creator's job in agentic editing shifts from doing edits to describing them — the more precisely you can name a transition or moment in text, the better Claude executes it.
- A personal asset library (photos, sounds, memes, videos) that Claude can access by folder is the infrastructure that makes every individual edit faster.
- Training your silence-removal skill on a reference video of your own editing style means Claude cuts like you, not like a default aggressive trimmer.
- Claude placed a meme at 1:46 instead of the requested 1:50 because it found peak confusion in the transcript — that kind of context-aware judgment is where agentic editing starts to beat manual.
- Short-form repurposing with captions, speaker zoom, and clip selection is already replaceable by a free open-source Claude skill — no OpusClip subscription needed.
- An MCP server that exposes editor actions to Claude means your editing environment becomes a set of tools Claude can call, not a GUI you have to operate.
- Agentic video editing homogenizes style at scale — the differentiator is your personal asset library of niche sounds, inside-joke memes, and specific references no one else has.
- You can give Claude any format (a PDF, a Google Slides link, a URL) to extract images for overlay — it is not limited to pre-exported files.
- Zooms and transitions respond to cinematic language: tell Claude to use a Ken Burns effect or a harsh zoom and it knows what you mean.
- The bottleneck in this workflow is prompt specificity, not capability — vague instructions produce mediocre edits that require correction.
Seven steps to let Claude edit your videos.
WHAT TO LEARN
The mechanical parts of video editing — cuts, overlays, sound cues, captions — can already be delegated to Claude if you build the right infrastructure first.
02Rough Cuts
- A Claude Code skill trained on a reference video of your own editing style produces cuts that match your pacing, not a one-size-fits-all silence threshold.
- Silence removal that also preserves laughter for comedic effect requires explicit instruction — the default aggressive cut needs to know what to keep.
03Image Overlays
- Claude can extract images from any format — PDF, Google Slides URL, screenshot — so you do not have to pre-export files before an edit session.
- Overlay timing is driven by transcript analysis, not manual timestamp entry; Claude maps visual content to spoken cues automatically.
04Sound Effects
- Saving sounds once to a named folder means Claude can find and reuse them in any future project without re-uploading.
- Sound cue placement by transcript is accurate enough to use but benefits from a final listen-through to catch edge cases.
05Using Memes
- Claude placed a meme at a slightly different timestamp than requested because it found a higher-intensity moment in the transcript — context-aware judgment that improves the edit.
- Meme and video insert workflows follow the same pattern as sound effects: save once, reference by name, let Claude decide placement.
06Transitions and Zooms
- Specificity of prompt is the primary lever for zoom and transition quality — vague instructions produce mediocre results that need correction.
- Providing reference videos of your own editing style lets Claude internalize your visual preferences without having to describe them in technical terms each time.
07Short Form Repurposing
- Clip selection, vertical formatting, captions, and speaker zoom are all automatable by open-source Claude skills — there is no technical reason to pay for a repurposing SaaS.
- The Clipify skill lets you override clip selection with a specific moment you want, giving you creative control when the AI picks miss the mark.
08Tella MCP
- An MCP server that exposes editor actions to Claude turns a GUI video tool into a programmable interface — the logical endpoint of any agentic editing workflow.
- Motion graphics generated programmatically by Remotion and uploaded as b-roll through an MCP creates a loop where Claude both writes and places its own visual content.
Terms worth knowing.
- Claude Code skill
- A reusable, installable prompt-plus-code package that gives Claude a named capability. Installed once via terminal and callable by name in any Claude session.
- AutoCut
- Automated silence and filler-word removal from a raw recording, using transcript analysis and FFmpeg to produce a tighter edit without manual timeline work.
- Remotion
- An open-source library for creating video and motion graphics programmatically using React and JavaScript, used here to generate animated b-roll inside Claude.
- MCP (Model Context Protocol)
- A standard for exposing software actions as tools that an AI model can call directly. Tella's MCP lets Claude cut clips, apply layouts, get thumbnails, and upload b-roll without the user touching the editor UI.
- Clipify
- An open-source Claude Code skill that takes long-form video, identifies the most shareable moments via transcript analysis, and outputs vertical 9:16 clips with captions.
- b-roll layout
- A video editing layer that places supplementary footage alongside or over the primary camera footage, used here to add motion graphics generated by Remotion.
- Ken Burns effect
- A slow, smooth zoom-and-pan applied to a still image or video frame. Can be described to Claude in plain language to trigger the effect.

story
00:00Some people are predicting that the future of video editing is going to be agentic. What that means is that we, people, won't be editing our video, but AI tools like Claude will do everything from cutting out silences to adding transitions to adding cool zooms, b roll, etcetera. The thing is that future is already here.
00:16Just last week, I went viral on Twitter by sharing a clipping tool that turns long form content into short form content. I made that in an hour using Claude. My video on Remotion where you can use Claude to generate motion graphics and you no longer need motion graphic skills to add to your videos is now 20,000 views.
00:33And some of my favorite creators like Renee are already editing their YouTube videos using Claude. Renee is actually the one who put me on to using Claude for video editing. I've since personalized my workflow a little bit, but credits due where it's due.
00:46In this video, I'm sharing my end to end workflow using Claude to edit my videos. I'll go over how it does things like cutting silences, ums and ahs. It'll find places to add b roll as well as generate said b roll either using tools like c dance or in our case, Remotion.
01:02We're gonna create motion graphics. I'll show you how you can easily add photos, sounds, etcetera without going into your editor and actually finding the spots to add them. And I'll hint at how you can turn longer form content into social short form content.
01:15You'll also learn how in this age of agentic editing, you can avoid all of your videos looking the same as other people's videos by making sure that you use sounds that only you know or memes that are really niche or or really specific references. Let's get into the workflow. Okay.
01:31Step one of my video editing process is making a rough cut, a big cut to remove any silences, repetitions, mistakes, filler words, etcetera.
01:41I created a skill for this that you can give to Claude or Codex, whatever you're using. It removes all silences, etcetera, and makes a cut while preserving laughter for comedic effect. So I'm gonna show you how to use this skill in Claude.
01:55We're just gonna open Claude, and then we're gonna go cut video. So just to install this, if you haven't done so already, just grab the the link to the skill and give it to Claude and say install this skill, and then you're gonna probably have to restart your terminal. So here we have cut video, and then what we need is obviously a source file or raw recording.
02:14This is a recording with my dad. It's seven and a half minutes long, and as you can see, it hasn't been cut at all. So I'm gonna give it that, and then we're gonna wait for the output.
02:27If you don't like this aggressive cut, I tend to cut all of the silences out and leave very little space just because I want my videos to be engaging to watch, then you can just prompt it and do this differently to match your editing style. Or what I did to create this skill is I actually gave it a reference video of mine initially, so it knows how I manually edit my videos.
02:48So that might be an idea for you to customize it to your editing style. Just so you know what's going on in the background, it's easier to edit. And then it uses tools like Whisper to analyze the transcript, as well as FFmpeg to look at the frames in the video, and then it's gonna decide what to cut out.
03:05Just as a time estimate, there's lucky days and unlucky days with Claude, but it takes a few minutes to make these cuts, especially if you're asking for a lot of cuts. So this is a seven minute video, and it is already running for three minutes.
03:18But again, this means you won't have to manually touch a video editor ever again, which I think is great.
03:25Especially if you build agents around this, you can just give your raw cuts and give it instructions on how to cut this, and it'll do it in the background while you do other work. Alright. It has outed a video, and it reduced it by a minute and a half.
03:38Let's watch some of this to see how well it did. Number one, we're gonna guess if a photo is AI or real? Yes.
03:43Yes. Show me the picture. It's a fake.
03:45It's AI. Very good. This is a picture.
03:47Yeah. It's real? It's a go.
03:48Okay. It's AI. Okay.
03:49Remember what you talked about yesterday? Cool. So I think it did a good job of cutting things out.
03:54I can see that in the beginning, I mean, I was speaking as I was getting the camera set up. So you could also tell it to get rid of that point.
04:02Just gonna tell it to cut out the so again, it looks at transcript. So it assumes that when you're speaking, you might wanna that in there.
04:10To be honest, depending on the style of the video, I would wanna keep it in there. So you see here, it's saying check out the lights. That's good.
04:15So it's gonna drop that part where I say checking the lights, and I think it picks up on that well. Let's check if it cut it out. Okay.
04:23So we're gonna speak in this little mic. Yeah. Great.
04:25So it cut it out just based on a prompt, which is kinda crazy. Now that's step one of our editing process. So you can see this is an interview with my dad, and you may have noticed that we're showing something on screen.
04:38So I wanna overlay whatever I'm showing him on screen. He's doing an AI guessing game, basically. So I'll show you what this looks like in the video already edited here.
04:48So I'm just gonna play that, and you can see that he's looking at these photos and guessing whether or not they're AI. I kinda wanna give Claude the slide deck where I have all of these photos just because I'm a little bit lazy. So here is my quiz that I made for my dad.
05:02I'm just gonna share this and make it accessible for everyone. And so I'm gonna tell Claude, extract all of the our images in this slide.
05:12So I'm saying that it should put it in my assets folder. I have an assets folder where I save things like screenshots or, yeah, funny photos that I wanna use in videos, as well as videos or sounds that I can give Claude while I'm editing.
05:29Funnily enough, I just created a Slack bot where I just drop any screenshot into, and then it saves it to that assets folder. So this way, whenever I'm working on a project and I see a fun screenshot or a stat or anything that I need for a video project, I save it to my finder, and then Claude can easily access that.
05:49I forgot to give it my Google Slide link, so I'm gonna do that now. Right. So here we can see that it created a folder called projects.
05:56I'm gonna move that to projects soon, but we'll see when we open this, we have some PDFs, and it's probably gonna extract the photos from that PDF and cut them. And then we'll see that we can magically overlay all of these photos at the exact right time stamps.
06:12Now this process is a bit longer than it would have been in the beginning because as I was editing this video manually, I was saving all of these photos to my computer. I just wanted to show you that you can literally give it any format, a PDF or anything else, and it can extract photos for you to use as well. So you can do this with logos, with anything you want.
06:31So here we have the raw, and it's outputted that. I wanted to get rid of the the white padding, so I'm gonna just ask it to do that.
06:40So we can see it also recognizes what's on the slide. So it obviously took all of the slides out of the PDF, but it sees that not every slide contains a photo.
06:49So hopefully, it's just gonna grab the photo once. Alright. Live.
06:53We're seeing that it's cropping all of these images. So that saved me a lot of time finding these images again. Great.
06:59And now we're gonna tell it to overlay the image for maybe a second or three, two to three, right before my dad needs to guess what the image is. But I just wanna show you that step two of overlaying images is very much possible with Claude editing without doing any manual work.
07:15We can see here that it's mapping the 20 photo moments, slides one to 20, to when my dad is doing the guessing. So let's take a look at these overlays. That's where the game starts.
07:27Number one, we're gonna guess if a photo is AI or real. Right. Yes.
07:31I will. Yes. Show me the picture.
07:33It's
07:34fake. It's AI.
07:36Good. This is a picture. Yeah.
07:38It's real? It's real. Okay.
07:40It's AI. Okay. Remember what we talked about yesterday?
07:42Okay. So here, it looked at the transcript and mistakenly added an overlay, but that's an easy fix. We just need to tell it to move that one.
07:50This is I think I I too, but it could be real because it existed.
07:56You can see here that it actually overlaid that one at the right moment. So it did well for the majority of these. I looked at the the video.
08:02And for any ones that are not aligned well or like come at the wrong moment, you could just say it should move that. But that should show you that you can add any image to a specific time stamp. So so even if you are going through your video like this, no longer in an editor, you say, hey, at minute one fifty six, I wanna add this image.
08:21And then you just refer to your assets library, and it's gonna add that image. So my third step in this case would be to add sound effect. So I'm just gonna show you how I'm gonna use the Duolingo correct sound to add to my video whenever my dad gets something correct, and then I'll do the wrong sound if he gets it incorrect.
08:39And I'm gonna show you exactly how I save a sound effect from YouTube. I give it to my Slackbot, and then it saves it to my sounds folder.
08:47So I'll only have to save this once in my life. My Slackbot recognizes what it is, so it's gonna say it's the Duolingo sound, and I'm then always gonna be able to refer to it. Alright.
08:56So I'm gonna go to my Slack bot, and I'm gonna copy paste the Duolingo sound effect link. And then it's gonna pick up on what this is. In this case, it's a sound effect.
09:06It's gonna automatically save it as we can see here. It's gonna save it directly to my sound effects asset folder. So here we have it.
09:14It's gonna open here, but that's fine. Now we're gonna tell Claude to add the Duolingo sound effects to whenever my dad is correct in the video.
09:25And then find it in my assets folder under sounds. Let's see if it applied the Duolingo sound effects whenever he gets something right.
09:35So let's play this first one. It's a fake. It's AI.
09:39Good. Very good. It's AI.
09:41Nice. So it applies the whenever he's right.
09:45Just always make sure to do a double, triple check, especially if he's doing a lot of them. Like, is or he Claude is basing himself off the transcript, and sometimes it's kinda hard to tell where to add it. But he did a good job of adding those sound effects.
10:00So that was step three. I showed you how to add sound effects. I wanna show you in a similar technique using my Slack bot how I can save a meme and then use that in my videos.
10:11So I'm just gonna go to Slack, and I'm gonna drop this link in there, and it's gonna download it as a video. And then that way, I have the confused math ladies meme in my assets folder forever. Let's head over to my assets folder.
10:25Again, you'll you're seeing this is turning into the holy grail. And here we can see it described as confused math lady.
10:33We can actually play that. I kinda wanna use this meme after my dad's confused about something. And and as it's older.
10:43And and to make my life a little bit easier, I'm gonna have some manual intervention where I wanna add it to a specific moment in the video. So let me just rewatch this and find the specific time stamp that I wanna add it. Okay.
10:56I think it'd be funny to add it at around the 01:50 mark. 01:50 mark.
11:02So let's see how it does, and it's gonna play that meme. Of course, you can also cut the meme. You can shorten it.
11:08Just tell it to shorten it or only include a small excerpt of a video. So here, it's gonna search for that meme in my assets folder, and it's gonna add it. The best way, in my opinion, to edit with Claude is to do a lot of the prep work where you source all of the screenshots or the memes that you wanna use, and then it can just go into one folder in your finder and add those where it thinks it's right.
11:30Let me just head over to the one fifty mark. Here we go. Was it?
11:41Yeah. So great job adding the meme at actually corrected one forty six instead of one fifty because it noticed that my dad was the most confused there. So you can see Claude's already doing good thinking here.
11:54Alright. Next part of editing might be to add fun transitions between clips, or I kinda wanna add zooms on my face or my dad's face whenever he says something really funny to one of the two speakers when ever something funny happens or awkwardness.
12:14So let's see how it does there. You could also give it cinematic terms like use a Ken Burns effect, which just zooms into something slowly. You could also say you wanna add a harsh zoom and just kind of play around with how you like to edit your videos.
12:30Again, if you have a lot of reference videos, maybe you found on YouTube, from other people's editing, or your own, then you can ask Claude to describe what those cuts are or what those effects are that are being used. Okay.
12:43Let's have a look at these zooms that it did or not. It did a few. Let's see towards the end here.
13:04Are you an Unc? No. I am.
13:05Okay. I
13:06think this did an okay job, but I think I I need to be a bit more specific with the the times I wanted to zoom in. He'd actually gave us a list here of when it zooms in. No.
13:16It's not the last one. Let's look at 03:15, and let's see if I agree with that. Very good.
13:23Do you know who it is? Don't worry. He was prepared.
13:27Yeah. So at this moment, that was actually a really good idea to zoom to my dad's face because he was arguing with me. So you can definitely look at your video and say, I would have added Zooms whenever my dad completes a sentence of mine.
13:40So I can say, add a Zoom to dad when rots.
13:46So that's my manual intervention there. You can actually see that it found the exact timestamp where it should add that zoom.
13:54So let's wait for the zoom. Okay. So he added that at 05:37.
14:00Let's watch that together. Because it's so addicting without learning anything.
14:05So your brain What? Very good.
14:08Important part here is to explain in as much detail as possible how you like your edits to be done and which transitions, etcetera, you'd like to use. Now before we move on to my demo of how I would edit screen recordings, specifically ones recorded in Intelli, I'm just gonna show you how we can use another skill that I've built to turn this long form video into a short form clip and actually add captions as well.
14:34So, yes, you can even add captions to this. So this completely gets rid of the need for a tool like Opus clip, which generates captions and turns something into a video.
14:44Here, it's pulling what he thinks are the funniest moments in terms of clips. I want the clip where he describes what I do, and we can select a few more if we want. But let's just do next.
14:55And then the format, I want it to be Reels format. And then and then we're gonna submit those answers. So as I said, you can get this specific Clipify clip that actually got 300 stars on my GitHub.
15:08So you can get that repo there, and you can just set that up in Clon and use it for any long form to short form flow. So let's wait it to generate this, and I'll show you what the final result is. It's asking us if it wants the hard cut version, and let's do big you know what?
15:24I kinda want kinda want big bold captions. So it asks us about the format of the captions, and if you wanted our vertical video to have our faces in a split screen or if it should zoom in on me when I'm speaking, zoom in on my dad when he's speaking, and I prefer that version.
15:40Let's take a quick look at the vertical video portion of this video. Now I'd like you to describe as best you can what you think I do as a job.
15:50It's I can't describe it because I have no clue.
15:53Everybody asking me this. I don't know. He makes money to have a computer.
15:57That's accurate. That's all. You could see it clipped it here, and also you could tell it to do this on the raw recording instead of the already zoomed in version of this video.
16:09So, yeah. That was it for the non screen recording, editing your videos with Claude.
16:14There's so much you can do connecting it to tools like 11 labs as well, uh, to do narration, for example, or even connected to an AI generation video tool like Cdance to generate AI b roll. Alright.
16:26For this last portion, very quickly, I wanna show you how you can edit your screen recordings that you record in Tele using our MCP. So you can actually perform actions in Claude that are directly reflected in your Tele editor. So you're just gonna go to our docs page and find the MCP doc.
16:43And then if you haven't done so already, you're just gonna copy this and then through your terminal. Now I've already installed RMCP. So I'm just gonna open Claude, and I'm gonna show you where it is or the tools that exist.
16:55So you can obviously list your videos, etcetera. But we can also upload clips. So you can upload your own clips next to your screen recordings.
17:04You can sorry. You can cut clips. You can even get frames from your video that would be good for a thumbnail, for instance.
17:10So I just did that earlier today. You can remove filler words, etcetera. But I'm gonna show you how I'm gonna cut my video in Tala because it's super easy to do that there with AutoCut.
17:20And then I'm gonna add a b roll layout, which is super new, which is essentially layout where we add b roll. And the b roll I'm gonna add is gonna be generated in another tool called Remotion, and all of that's gonna happen in Claude.
17:33First thing we're gonna do is we're gonna grab a video. You can see here that it has no cuts applied to it. So I'm gonna remove all of these silences, remove the filler words, etcetera.
17:44I would maybe do a more clean-cut here. But here we can see that there are no gaps applied beside the base layout. So we're gonna ask Claude to go through and apply where it thinks it's would be right.
17:56We're just gonna grab the video link here, and we're gonna head over to Claude again. Layouts. Graphic generated in Remotion as b roll.
18:08I'm being I'm being purposely lazy and vague because I know what I talked about in this intro, and I always wanna add b roll in my intros to make them more exciting. So I'm gonna see if it can add b roll there to describe a process. This video was about how Bod is now editing video, and I just wanna show that with motion graphics.
18:30So let's see how well it does in our first go. I should add, if you haven't done so already, watch my video on how to generate motion graphics with Remotion because I go over the steps of installing Remotion into Claude, is super easy.
18:43But you do need to set that up before you can actually generate motion graphics in this way. So Claude will just remember Remotion as a skill, and then it can actually use it to do such things and generate b roll. So be sure to watch that first.
18:57Cool. We can see the steps here. So it's looking at the uncut transcript, and it's checking for b roll moments.
19:02It's gonna generate the motion graphic. It's gonna upload that motion graphic as m before in Totella, and then it's gonna add b roll layouts with said m p four.
19:13So it's asking me yeah. It's giving me three suggestions, and I like the idea of messy files flying in and then going into organized folders, and then I'm gonna go with fast and submit those answers.
19:25Getting the motion graphic, and then it's gonna upload it as an m before to the b roll segment, which is new, and you should try.
19:34Alright. Supposedly, it has generated these layouts, so let's have a look together. We're just gonna have to always refresh our page whenever we add changes.
19:43So here we can already see it applied our new b roll layout. So let's play this together. First impressions.
19:54So fun. Okay. So generated that in Remotion, and then it added that as I was describing this.
20:00So this was about my Slack bot and how basically I created this assets folder. I think this is a really cool way of just being able to edit your screen recordings that you make. This was just a small example of things you can do in our MCP.
20:13It's still work in progress, but I'm gonna be playing around with it over the coming weeks, and I'd love some of you to play around with it as well. I'm gonna show you second thing that the MCP can do. So we're just gonna say, find frames in this video of my full face that I could use as a YouTube thumbnail.
20:34Let's see. It can actually get frames as well from Tella directly. So I'm just gonna see if it can find that from the camera source file, and then it's gonna save that to our it's selecting for wherever my eyes are pointing forward because I know I don't always do that when I'm filming, and I expect it to return some frames that I can use.
20:54It says it found the winner killer shot, which I'm animated. My mouth is open, so let's see what it comes up with. Okay.
21:01In all fairness, I did interrupt Claude because it was taking too long, but look at these thumbnails that it found. Using Tella's MCP now lets you edit your videos using Claude.
21:10And what this opens up is that you can integrate many more tools into your editing process, not just Tella, not just CapCut, not just one tool by having it all be in AI model. I hope you liked this introduction to how I edit my videos with Claude. There's a long way to go.
21:25As you saw, sometimes we run into some slowness issues, some understanding issues. As you start to edit your videos with Claude, you're gonna become much better at defining technically how it is you like to edit. So it removes all manual work, which we all hate, and it just becomes more of a conversation, which I've really liked.
21:42I'm gonna link all of the skills that I used below so you can add them to your own Claude and play around with. And then if you like this video, please be sure to subscribe.
21:51A lot of time goes into these videos, and I'd really love to have you around. I'll see you for the next video.
The Hook
The bait, then the rug-pull.
The future of video editing arrived without an announcement. When Louise de Sadeleer shares her exact Claude workflow — silence removal, image overlays, Duolingo sound effects, memes placed by transcript logic, 9:16 repurposing without OpusClip — what lands is not the technology but the matter-of-fact delivery: this is just how she edits now.
Named ideas worth stealing.

The Asset Library Workflow
- Build an assets folder with subfolders: photos, sounds, videos, memes, screenshots, thumbnails
- Use a Slack bot to auto-save and auto-categorize anything you drop in
- Reference the folder in every Claude editing prompt
- Claude saves things once; you reference them forever
The infrastructure play that makes every individual edit instant. Once the library exists, Claude never needs to ask where a file is.

5-Step Claude Editing Process
- Rough cut (silence and filler removal)
- Image overlays (from slides, screenshots, photos)
- Sound effects (from asset library, placed by transcript)
- Memes and video inserts (placed by transcript context)
- Zooms and transitions (cinematic language + specificity)
The sequential editing workflow for camera-recorded content before moving to the Tella MCP for screen recordings.
