turn-long-video-into-shorts

turn-long-video-into-shorts is a skill for Claude Code from ABO3SKRALMASAOODI/valmera-mcp. It costs 63 tokens per session (598 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A video-editing workflow for turning a long recording into several vertical short videos. It uses the transcript and visual information to select complete stories, then creates clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify candidate highlights, make 30–60 second-style shorts, add captions and reframing, and export each short as a separate project.
Why use it?
Finding useful, self-contained moments in a podcast, interview, webinar, livestream, or other long video takes time. It helps avoid clips that start without context or end in the middle of a thought.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

turn-long-video-into-shorts scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 14d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Turn a long video into shorts with Valmera

Valmera can split one long recording into several short projects. Each one is a complete, self-contained story with its own reframing and captions, and each can be refined and exported separately.

Workflow

  1. Set up the source. For a podcast or long interview, create a shorts project with create_project and kind="shorts", then upload into it. For an existing project, open it with open_project. Wait for index_status to report done.
  2. Read the whole conversation first. Use get_transcript, which has speaker labels, plus get_editorial_map and find_visual_moments for visual beats. Pick stories that:
    • start with a hook that makes sense without context in the first two seconds,
    • finish their thought; never cut mid-argument,
    • fit the length the user asked for (often 30–60 seconds).
  3. Propose before you cut when the user hasn't chosen moments. List each candidate with its source start and end time, a working title, and one line on why it works.
  4. Create the shorts. Call make_shorts with your chosen story arcs. Track progress with shorts_status, and open each short with open_short.
  5. Polish each short. Reframe to 9:16 so the speaker stays in frame (auto_reframe, with compose_panels when two people matter). Add captions with an active-word highlight, a title card or hook text, and punch-ins on key lines. apply_short_edit_batches applies the same kinds of edits to up to 30 shorts in one call.
  6. Review. Render a preview of each short (render_preview, wait_for_job) and check its opening frame, captions and framing with look_at and rendered=true.
  7. Export when asked. For each approved short, call export_final, then wait_for_job, then download_url with kind="final".

Be honest about virality

No tool can guarantee a clip goes viral. Say that you picked complete, hook-first stories from the transcript and visuals, and suggest the user test several.
