Editors charge for effects packs, and most of them look the same. Every effect in the video was built in code by Claude, on real footage, with free tools. You don't need After Effects or a plugin. You describe the effect, and Claude Code writes and runs the code on your clip.

Here's the setup, the master prompt, the line for each of the 20 effects, and the catch.

What you can make

  • Looks: halftone, thermal, blueprint, neon split, kaleidoscope, pixel sort, ink bleed.
  • Frames and objects: polaroid, app window, stamp, comment pop, terminal type.
  • Transitions: film burn, tile flip, puzzle break, fold away, eye portal.
  • Time and light: spotlight, echo trail, time freeze.
