The argument in one line.
Claude Code should do a creator's manual work (editing, assets, research) while the creator keeps the ideas, scripts and judgment, and you teach it your style by prompting repeatedly and saving it to memory.
Read if. Skip if.
READ IF YOU ARE…
- A small or beginner YouTuber who spends days on each video and wants to post more often without hiring an editor.
- A creator who has heard about Claude Code but doesn't know how it would fit into a real video production workflow.
- A creator in a crowded niche who wants a repeatable way to research competitor thumbnails and titles before picking ideas.
SKIP IF…
- You want step-by-step prompts or a screen recording of the actual Claude Code edit, since the video shows results and concepts rather than a full walkthrough.
- You're already running an agent-based editing pipeline and want advanced tooling detail.
The full version, fast.
Creators who post more while getting more views are using Claude Code as their hands: they cut their own video, send it to Claude Code for graphics and text, and prompt around 20 times per video, saving each lesson to memory until it edits in their style. Assets come from Higgsfield connected through MCP, with backgrounds removed and then animated. A second workflow feeds 10 to 20 competitor channels to Claude Code for a summary of what works. Ideas, scripts and final judgment stay with the human.

00:00 – 03:50
01 · The promise and the Nick Saraev example
Opens with the one-hour video pitch and points to a creator who went from four to six videos a month to near-daily posting with millions of views, plus Claude Code from the phone.
03:50 – 08:20
02 · Why AI is still early
Claude only replaces manual work, AI slop reflects limited compute, and a computer scientist's clip is used to argue the ceiling is far higher than a $20 plan shows.
08:20 – 11:40
03 · Edit with Claude Code and teach it your style
Cut your own video, send it to Claude Code for graphics and text, prompt about 20 times per video, and save corrections to memory so it learns your style.
11:40 – 13:50
04 · Generate assets with Higgsfield
Connect Higgsfield to Claude Code through MCP, generate white-background assets, strip the backgrounds, then have Claude Code animate them. Costs roughly 120 credits for 20 images.
13:50 – 16:52
05 · Research competitors, then pitch the community
Load 10 to 20 niche channels into Claude Code for a summary of what's working, pick and modify ideas yourself, then a pitch for the private community.
Lines worth screenshotting.
- Claude Code is a worker, not a creative director: use it for manual work and keep the ideas, scripts and final judgment yourself.
- Cut your own video before sending it to Claude Code, because the AI makes too many mistakes deciding what to remove.
- Prompt Claude Code about 20 times on a single 10-minute video, then save the result to memory so the next edit starts closer to your style.
- Teaching an AI editor your style takes one to three months of daily back-and-forth before it gets it right on the first try.
- Generating assets with white backgrounds and removing them gives you reusable cutouts Claude Code can animate, instead of flat images.
- At roughly six credits per image, 20 images for a video is about 120 credits, enough for four to six long-form videos on a basic plan.
- Feeding 10 to 20 channels from your niche into one Claude Code chat turns thumbnail and title research into a summary of what is and isn't working.
- Starting every video from a blank page is a handicap when you compete against channels with teams and AI, so use research to start from evidence.
- AI slop mostly reflects the small slice of compute normal users can access, and the gap between a $20 plan and far larger compute is wide.
- If you don't adopt AI-assisted production, other creators will, and the space gets more saturated and harder to grow in.
Let Claude do the work, you keep the judgment
WHAT TO LEARN
AI speeds up production most when it handles manual work like editing, assets and research, while the creator keeps ideas, cuts and final decisions.
- Make your own cuts before handing a video to Claude Code, since deciding what stays is where the AI makes the most mistakes.
- Expect to prompt around 20 times on a single 10-minute video, and save each correction to memory so the style compounds over weeks.
- Generate assets on white backgrounds, remove the backgrounds, and let Claude Code animate the cutouts instead of prompting every image by hand.
- Image generation is cheap next to video generation: about six credits an image puts a full long-form video at roughly 120 credits.
- Give Claude Code 10 to 20 niche channels and ask what thumbnails, titles and topics work before you plan your next video.
- Treat AI output as raw material: pick the best ideas, then modify them yourself, because your own ideas are still the differentiator.
Terms worth knowing.
- AI slop
- Low-effort, low-quality content made with AI tools and published without human taste or editing.
- MCP
- Model Context Protocol, a standard way to connect an outside tool or service to an AI assistant so it can use that tool directly.
- Higgsfield
- An AI image and video generation platform that can be connected to Claude Code so it can generate assets and remove backgrounds on request.
- Compute power
- The processing capacity behind an AI model. Bigger budgets let a model run more agents and more passes on the same task.

Don't just watch it. Burn it in.
See every word as it's spoken — crank it to 2× and still catch all of it. The same dual-channel trick behind Amazon's Kindle + Audible.
Tell me if this is something you would like to happen to you. Imagine spending just one hour making a YouTube video instead of five days. You post the video, you go to sleep, and when you wake up, the video has over 100 ,000 views.
Does that sound good? Well, now imagine that at the same time, you have plot code agents working for you 24 out of 7, researching and finding new video ideas. All you have to do is pick the ones you like and write a script for them.
Then you just record your video or your voiceover and send it to Cloud Code so it can edit it for you. And during this time, you can leave your computer running, go out with your friends or play your favorite game. And within four hours, five hours, your video is ready.
Not only that, but your video is edited in your own style. Well, this is actually what's happening right now. Basically, we're moving from doing all the work with our hands to just using our minds.
Claude becomes our hands. And all we have to do is bring the ideas and the creativity. For example, let me show you something.
Let me show you a creator. His name is Nick Sarif or something like that. English is not my first language, so I'm sorry if I'm pronouncing his name wrong.
But Nick over here used to post four to six videos every month. And you can check this on his channel. But now he's posting a video almost every single day.
And the crazy part is not just that he's posting more videos. The crazy part is that he's also getting millions of views. He's actually getting more views and posting more.
How is this even possible? Like if you take a look at his channel. He used to get from 50 ,000 views to 200, 300 views per video.
And he was posting four to six times a month. Now he's posting almost every single day. But some of his videos are literally getting millions of views within weeks.
500 ,000 views, 800 ,000 views, 2 million views. Within weeks. How is it possible to post more literally almost every single day and also start getting even more views?
Millions of views, right? That's insane. Well, the reason for this is because he's using a workflow like the one I just explained.
He's even shown in his videos how he uses cloud code to find viral video ideas, edit his videos and make his thumbnails. So basically cloud code does all the manual work for him. And he just records the videos.
He just needs to use his mind to pick the right things and make the right adjustments. That is why I'm saying we're transitioning from a world where we actually had to use our keyboard and mouse and do manual work to where we're basically just using our minds. We're telling AI what to do and AI is going to do it for us.
All we need is to be creative. And what's even crazier? And I know I've been saying this is crazy a lot but it really is.
But Cloud Code just introduced the ability to use Cloud Code from your phone. So you can keep your computer running, go out and you just tell Cloud Code what to do from your phone. Like just imagine this.
Let's say you're grocery shopping and Cloud Code sends you a few thumbnail ideas. You reply to cloud code from your phone as you're grocery shopping and you explain to cloud code which thumbnail idea you like, how to improve it and how to make it better. Then you just close your phone and you continue grocery shopping.
But let's say on the way home, you get stuck in traffic. So you open cloud code again and make a few more changes to the thumbnails and a few more adjustments from your phone. And by the time you're home, your thumbnail is ready.
Your video is edited. and your research agents are still finding new ideas for you. It's literally like having your own AI employees working for you.
It's insane. Now, I'm not saying you need to start making videos this way, but I am saying you should try to implement as much of this workflow as you can in your content creation. Because if you don't do it, other creators will.
They're going to grow way faster than you and you are going to get left behind. Not only that, but newer creators, new channels are going to start doing it as well. And pretty soon the whole space is going to be oversaturated.
So growing on YouTube, growing on social media, it's only going to get harder and harder. So if you want to become a content creator and grow on YouTube and grow on social media, this is the best time to start. Not tomorrow, not next month, literally as soon as possible.
And in this video, I want to help you out. I'm going to show you how to use Clot code to make YouTube videos faster without losing the quality. Now, as I said, and this is really important, so pay attention.
Clot is only supposed to replace the manual work. you still have to come up with your own ideas, your own scripts, and your own editing style. Like I said, Cloud Code just becomes your hands.
It does the manual work for you. And by talking with it every single day, it's going to learn exactly how to edit your videos and make your thumbnails in your own style. Now, I know there's a lot of confusion about AI right now.
It kind of feels like there's one group of people who love AI and another group of people who completely hate it. I see this in my comments and I see it all over the internet and I understand why. When AI was just starting out, a lot of the stuff people made with it was complete trash, also known as AI slop.
And honestly, a lot of it still is. That's basically where the term AI slop comes from. But because I have this YouTube channel, I managed to make some friends along the way in the AI space.
And because of that, I had the chance to test some of those models that run on much more compute power. And let me tell you, it's insane. Like when you have a $20 subscription to ClockCode, you're only getting like a tiny, tiny, tiny piece.
of what's possible to actually create with these things. And that's what you have to understand right now. The amount of compute power you get is limited by what you pay for, whether that's a $20 subscription or a $200 subscription to Cloud Code.
But tell me, what happens when you have $10 ,000 worth of compute power or $1 million or $10 million worth of compute power? Well, you have thousands of agents researching for you, making tons of improvements to the point where the end result is as perfect as it gets. And you really have to trust me on this one.
It's absolutely insane what you're able to create with these models when you have a lot of compute power. It's insane and it's also very scary. And I'm not the only one saying this.
For example, this is Bernardo Castro. He's a computer scientist with a PhD and he's been working on AI and computers for many, many, many years. And listen to what he had to say about it.
This is happening. And it's coming with a speed that is dizzying. Last night...
Oh, I can't say, I can't say. But what AI does today, the average... person on the street would not believe it can't be deployed the thing just consumes an incredible amount of power and requires an incredible amount of money so you can't make that accessible to everybody but what is cooking now is that AGI is around the corner Super intelligence is around the corner.
So first of all, when you think about AI slop, you need to understand that it only exists because AI is still in really early stages. And because all of us only have access to a tiny part of the compute power out there. But even so, we're already seeing tools like cloud code create amazing video edits and motion graphics and thumbnails and so on.
websites games so since we're moving into something like this i think this is the best time to take advantage of it and start using ai in your workflow for creating content that's why in this video i want to show you step by step everything you should do everything i do and everything i see other creators doing basically how they're using ai to make better videos faster videos without losing the quality instead of paying someone three hundred dollars four hundred dollars sometimes one thousand dollars for a 10 minute video edit you can just get a cloud code subscription and with one subscription for twenty dollars you can probably edit four ten minute long videos every single month now depending on your niche and how complex your videos are you might still want to use a video editor if you need very specific storytelling But even the video editor is probably going to use Cloud Code to speed up the process by adding multiple motion graphics, text, and other stuff that usually take time.
And the way this works, basically, all you have to do is record your video or your voiceover and just send it to Cloud Code to edit it. And with every edit, you teach Cloud Code how to edit better. and how to adjust to your own style.
But the secret is to cut your own video. You don't let AI cut the video for you because it's going to make a lot of mistakes. And this is why I've said you still probably want to cut your own video or still have a video editor who cuts the video for you.
So basically, let's say your video recording or your voiceover is around 30 minutes long because it has bad takes, mistakes, whatever. You will need to make those cuts. You will need to cut it down to 20 minutes or 15 minutes or 10 minutes, however long your recording actually is.
And then you send it to Cloud Code. So you're already sending the cut version. Cloud Code only adds the graphics, the text, the visuals and whatever.
But here's the secret. You don't want to stop there. And this is also why so many people suck at AI because usually they just send one message with their video and the first result they get, they use that one.
No, that's not how you should use it. You should keep prompting and you should keep improving it. On one single 10 minute video, you want to prompt like 20 times, improve absolutely everything and then ask Cloud Code to save that to its memory so that it has your own style.
And it already knows how not to make mistakes, right? And you keep doing that for a month, for two, for three, until you create your own style inside Cloud Code to the point where you actually can just send your video and Cloud Code gives you the perfect result from the first try. But until you reach that point, you have to keep prompting back and forth with Cloud Code so you teach it.
That's why I've said in the beginning, that your mind now matters the most, your own ideas, your own creativity. You need to teach Claude how to do those things because Claude is not a human.
He's just an incredible worker. That's how you make really good videos with AI. That's how Nick is posting every single day and yet he's getting more views than before.
Because creators like him, creators like me, We understand that we don't just prompt cloud one time. You have to prompt cloud 20 times per video and you keep doing it and you keep saving it to the memory to the point, as I said, where editing with cloud code just works perfectly.
And the cool thing is that you can create anything. You can have professional motion graphics that look like they're from a SaaS website. You can have paper cut graphics or pixel art graphics.
You can have basically anything you can imagine. That's why it's important to create your own style. Now, my favorite way of doing this is by connecting Higgs Field to Cloud Code.
And please let me explain why. And this is basically part of my workflow. So if you connect Higgs Field to Cloud Code, what you can do is you can generate the assets for your video this way.
Basically how it works, you go to the Higgs Field dashboard. There's going to be a link down in the description. If you click on that link, it's going to send you to the Higgs Field dashboard.
On Higgs Field, if you click on MCP, then you click Cloud, and then you click Connect. you will connect Hicksfield to Cloud Code. And now what you can do, you can tell Cloud Code how to create the assets for your videos.
So basically, let's say I talk about how to grow on YouTube. Instead of me writing... 20, 30 prompts to generate each image and each asset, Claude is going to do that for me.
Not only that, but as I said, because we're using Claude to edit the video, what we can do is basically with Higgs field, we're not just generating images, we're generating the assets. Basically, the backgrounds will be completely white. They won't exist.
And because Higgs field has a tool called background remover, Claude Code is going to use that tool for you, remove the background, and instead of getting an image with a white background, you get the asset. And what's cool about it is now ClockCode can edit that image, can edit that asset. And this is exactly the workflow I use for my own videos.
I'm generating assets using Higgs field and then ClockCode is animating those assets. And as I said, this speeds up the process by a lot because instead of me generating three images, ClockCode is generating everything, is removing the background from everything, and then it's adding motion graphics and movement to these graphics, right?
So for example, let's say we generate six images like this. You can see them on the screen. These are the images generated with Higgs field by using clod.
Then clod code is going to remove the background of them so they will look like this. They won't have backgrounds anymore. And then clod code is going to move them around, add text to them, add motions to them or generate multiple ones from different angles and positions.
So basically, Cloud does everything for you. And this way you can really create your own style. And not only that, but it's also much cheaper than actually generating a video because an image is just six credits or something.
And let's say you need 20 images for your videos, right? That's around 120 credits. So even with a basic subscription to Hixfield, you can generate from four to six long form videos.
I'm talking about 10 minute long videos, 15 long minute videos for your channel. in your own style. Now, this is by far the best way to create YouTube videos at the moment because you create them faster, more efficiently and cheaper.
And everything you have seen right now in my video was created like this. I connected Higgs field to cloud code. I generated assets and then Cloud Code animated those assets for me and added extra motion graphics on top like stick figures and graphs and text.
So if you want to create videos the same way I do and Nick does and other top creators are doing, there's going to be a link down in the description where you can go to Hixfield and connect Hixfield to Cloud Code and start creating videos this way. Now, this was the first way to use AI to make videos faster and more efficiently.
The second way is to research competitors using Cloud Code. For this, you need to look at competitors. inside your niche.
Let's say you make documentaries or you make videos about finance, right? What you want to do is search for finance on YouTube and look at all the channels inside your niche. Take those channels and add them into a new cloud code chat.
And then once you add around 10 to 20 channels, Ask Cloud Code to research those channels, to research the thumbnails, the titles, what they talk about, and then give you a summary of what's working and what's not working. Once you get that summary from Cloud Code, you can start working on ideas from there because now you understand what's working.
You understand what kind of thumbnails are working, what kind of text in the thumbnail is working. And based on that, you can start creating your own ideas and you can continue to use Cloud Code to help you come up with ideas. But as I said in the beginning, you only want to use Cloud Code to do the manual work.
You still want to create your own. individual idea because your ideas are better than an AI idea. Trust me on that.
So even if you have Cloud Code research all those channels for you and create a summary of what's working and then help you create ideas, you still need to be the judge. Once you have the ideas from Cloud Code, you still need to pick the best ones and then modify them yourself and come up with your own ideas based on these ideas.
Because from my experience and from talking with our creators, your ideas are still better than an AI. AI is just a workforce. It's your employee.
You put it to work, it comes back, but you still need to manage it. You still need to judge it. You still need to make your own choice.
Now, the reason why this is so helpful and it speeds up the process of creating videos, it's because usually when you start a new YouTube video, it's like starting from a blank page. Just like an artist starts from a blank page when he draws something. Now, artists are going to say, yeah, but that's the fun of it, right?
You have a blank paper and you just start drawing whatever it's in your imagination. And I absolutely agree with you. I draw myself, I make music myself and starting blank is the most beautiful thing.
But when you're trying to grow on YouTube, when you're trying to run a business, when you're competing with millions of channels who use AI, who have teams and so on, starting from a blank paper and creating just what comes on your mind is most of the time not going to work. So to grow faster on YouTube, you need to start thinking like a business.
And this is how you use AI to make the process of creating your YouTube videos faster. But we still have a bunch of problems. How do we write a script that is engaging?
How do we make sure our thumbnail looks good enough? And how do we make sure our idea is good? Well, that's exactly what I teach inside my private community.
Inside my community, I have a step -by -step course where I teach you everything there is to know about YouTube and growing on YouTube, including packaging, storytelling, and many more. Not only that, but I also talk with my members. So inside you can talk with me and other creators.
I share feedback on your thumbnails, on your titles, and so on. So if that sounds interesting and you need help growing on YouTube, there's going to be a link down in the description where you can join my private community. I'll see you inside.
