SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning hours of raw footage into polished short-form videos requires repetitive cutting, reframing, and asset generation work that manual editors make slow and painful. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Editing Pipeline: Organizes footage with Claude-generated transcripts and edit decision lists, then executes deterministic cuts with FFmpeg. - Programmable Composition: Builds overlays, titles, and motion graphics as reusable Remotion components rendered to video. - Selective Asset Generation: Creates voiceovers with ElevenLabs and music or SFX with fal.ai only for assets that do not exist. - Use Case: You have a 4-hour screen recording and need a 24-minute vlog plus vertical clips for TikTok. The skill generates the transcript, identifies the strongest segments, produces FFmpeg cut commands, and reframes output for each platform. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to analyze your footage transcript and generate FFmpeg cut commands for the strongest segments of your recording.

Frequently Asked Questions about video-editing

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I cut video segments by timestamp with FFmpeg?▼

Use ffmpeg with the -ss and -to flags to extract a segment, for example: ffmpeg -i raw.mp4 -ss 00:12:30 -to 00:15:45 -c copy segment.mp4. Batch cutting works by reading start and end times from a cuts file in a loop.

How do I convert 16:9 video to vertical 9:16 for TikTok?▼

Reframe with an FFmpeg center crop: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "crop=ih*9/16:ih,scale=1080:1920" vertical.mp4. For subject-aware reframing, VideoDB offers a smart reframe mode that tracks the subject automatically.

When should I use Remotion instead of a traditional video editor?▼

Use Remotion for programmable overlays, data visualizations, motion graphics, and reusable scene templates that you will repeat across videos. Traditional editors like Descript or CapCut remain better for final pacing, captions, and color grading.

Can this workflow generate a full video from a text prompt?▼

No. The workflow is designed for editing real footage, not prompt-based generation. AI generation with ElevenLabs or fal.ai is used selectively only for missing assets like voiceover, music, or insert shots.

How do I detect silent sections to auto-cut dead air?▼

Run FFmpeg silence detection: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -af silencedetect=noise=-30dB:d=2 -f null - and parse the reported silence intervals. Combine these with transcript analysis to identify segments worth removing.
