Video Use is a free, open-source GitHub repo (MIT, 29,000+ stars) that turns Claude Code into a video editor. You drop your raw clips in a folder, tell Claude what video you want, and it hands you back a finished final.mp4.
Here's what it does, how to set it up, what to ask it first, and the catch.
What it does to your clips
- Cuts every filler word (umm, uh), false start and dead pause between takes.
- Colour grades every clip (warm cinematic, neutral punch, or your own look).
- Adds a tiny audio fade at every cut so you never hear a pop.
- Burns in captions in your style (two-word uppercase chunks by default).
- Makes animated graphics on top, one helper agent per animation.
- Watches its own edit at every cut and fixes jumps, pops or hidden captions before it shows you anything.
- Remembers the project, so next week's session picks up where you left off.
