Editing talking-head videos is mostly cutting: the ums, the false starts, the dead air between takes. Video Use hands that job to Claude Code. You drop raw footage in a folder, ask for the edit in plain words, and it produces edit/final.mp4 next to your files.
What it does (from the README)
- Cuts out filler words (um, uh, false starts) and the dead space between takes.
- Colour grades every segment (warm cinematic, neutral punch, or any custom ffmpeg look).
- Adds a 30 ms audio fade at every cut, so you never hear a pop.
- Burns in subtitles in your style (two-word UPPERCASE chunks by default).
- Builds animation overlays (HyperFrames, Remotion, Manim or PIL), one sub-agent per animation, in parallel.
- Checks its own render at every cut before it shows you anything, and fixes and re-renders up to 3 times.
- Keeps session memory in project.md, so next week's session picks up where you left off.
