Raw Footage In. Finished Reel Out. No Timeline.

What’s Inside

This is the exact pipeline I use to edit every video I post. Not a concept. Not a demo. The actual setup, the actual tools, and the actual prompt I paste every session.

You’ll walk away knowing:

• What tools to install and how to wire them together (one-time setup, takes under 30 minutes)
• The 4-step editing flow — drop footage, approve the cut strategy, collect final.mp4
• How to write a brand editing spec so Claude applies the same grade, font, and caption style to every video automatically
• What breaks and how to fix it before it costs you a take you needed

Who This Is For

Service business owners — salons, contractors, dentists, real estate agents, restaurants — who are already filming content but losing hours in post-production. You don’t need a background in video editing or coding. You need to be willing to set this up once.

If you’re spending more than an hour editing a short-form video, this guide cuts that down to 20 minutes. Not because the AI is magic. Because the decisions that used to take time — where to cut, how to grade, what font to use — get made once and locked in.

Why I Built This

I was spending 3-4 hours per video. Not filming. Editing. Cutting pauses, removing ums, tweaking the color grade, messing with caption placement. Every video was a fresh set of decisions. The output was inconsistent. The process was draining.

This pipeline removed every one of those decisions. Now I review what Claude proposes, approve it, and ship. The guide shows you exactly how to do the same.
