What is video-editing?

A skill for editing existing video footage with AI-assisted tools, from raw recordings through cutting, structure, captions, overlays, music, voice-over, and final polishing.

Use it to edit vlogs, tutorials, interviews, app demos, and coding recordings, then adapt the result for platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram.

It helps turn long or unstructured recordings into focused videos without asking an AI system to generate the entire video from scratch.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00072	$0.02479
Opus 5	$0.00036	$0.01239
Sonnet 5	$0.00014	$0.00496

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 4d 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.

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.
