Video Editing

Cuts real footage instead of generating from prompts. The pipeline goes from Screen Studio or raw capture through FFmpeg for deterministic cuts, Remotion for programmable overlays and composition, ElevenLabs or fal.ai for voiceover and music when needed, then Descript or CapCut for final polish. Claude sits at layer two to transcribe, plan structure, and generate edit decision lists with timestamps. The thesis is that AI video editing works when you stop asking it to create whole videos and start using it to compress and structure existing footage. Works well for vlogs, tutorials, and turning long recordings into short form content across different aspect ratios.

Video Editing

AI-assisted editing for real footage. Not generation from prompts. Editing existing video fast.

When to Activate

User wants to edit, cut, or structure video footage
Turning long recordings into short-form content
Building vlogs, tutorials, or demo videos from raw capture
Adding overlays, subtitles, music, or voiceover to existing video
Reframing video for different platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram)
User says "edit video", "cut this footage", "make a vlog", or "video workflow"

Core Thesis

AI video editing is useful when you stop asking it to create the whole video and start using it to compress, structure, and augment real footage. The value is not generation. The value is compression.

The Pipeline

For measured reference-driven work, chain taste-distillation into taste-application, then return here for the editor and final-output review. The standalone taste skills can use existing footage; generation is optional.
