video-editing

A workflow for editing existing video footage with tools such as FFmpeg, Remotion, ElevenLabs, Descript, and CapCut. It focuses on cutting, organising, augmenting, captioning, reframing, and adding audio rather than generating an entire video from a prompt.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn recordings into vlogs, tutorials, demos, or short-form clips; add subtitles, overlays, music, or voiceover; and adapt footage for different platforms.
Why use it?
Long recordings often contain more material than the final video needs. The workflow breaks editing into practical stages so raw footage can become shorter, clearer content.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

video-editing scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 309 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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

Screen Studio / raw footage
  → Claude / Codex
  → FFmpeg
  → Remotion
  → ElevenLabs / fal.ai
  → Descript or CapCut

Each layer has a specific job. Do not skip layers. Do not try to make one tool do everything.

Layer 1: Capture (Screen Studio / Raw Footage)

Collect the source material:

  • Screen Studio: polished screen recordings for app demos, coding sessions, browser workflows
  • Raw camera footage: vlog footage, interviews, event recordings
  • Desktop capture via VideoDB: session recording with real-time context (see videodb skill)

Output: raw files ready for organization.

Layer 2: Organization (Claude / Codex)

Use Claude Code or Codex to:

  • Transcribe and label: generate transcript, identify topics and themes
  • Plan structure: decide what stays, what gets cut, what order works
  • Identify dead sections: find pauses, tangents, repeated takes
  • Generate edit decision list: timestamps for cuts, segments to keep
  • Scaffold FFmpeg and Remotion code: generate the commands and compositions
Example prompt:
"Here's the transcript of a 4-hour recording. Identify the 8 strongest segments
for a 24-minute vlog. Give me FFmpeg cut commands for each segment."

This layer is about structure, not final creative taste.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
