I recorded a video, gave the raw file to Claude and asked it to edit it. That is it. Claude picked my best takes, cut my mistakes, cleaned the echo out of my voice, wrote every caption and built every animation. Here is every tool it used, and a prompt you can copy to edit your own video.
Every tool Claude used
Claude runs all of these for you. You just talk to it in plain English.

Claude Code
Made by Anthropic
This is the editor. You give it your raw video and tell it what you want. It runs every other tool on this page for you.
It turns every word you say into text, with the exact time of each word. That is how Claude knows which take has a mistake and where each caption goes.
From my reel: four real takes of one line, with the reason Claude gave for each one. It kept take 4.Open Whisper on GitHub

MediaPipe

It checks where your eyes look in every take. When two takes sound just as good, Claude keeps the one where you look at the camera.
Copy this, add your video file, and send it to Claude Code.
Prompt
I want you to edit my talking video. Here is the raw file: [add your video file here]
1. Turn every word I say into text, with the time of each word.
2. If I said a line more than once, keep the best take. Pick the one with no stumbles, nothing cut off, and where I look at the camera. Cut every mistake, filler word and long pause.
3. Clean my voice. Remove the echo and the room noise.
4. Add captions that match my words exactly, a few words at a time. Never put them over my face.
5. Add an animation for each line that shows what I am saying.
6. Export it as a vertical 9:16 video, 1080 by 1920.
Before you start, tell me which tools you need and help me install them. Show me which takes you kept before you make the final video.
