The Workflow
8 steps · click a step number to mark it done
Open Claude Code and have it ready before you start
Upload your raw video file to the Claude Code project folder.
In the Claude Code code tab, type: start a new project for the video clip and do a rough cut.
Claude Code calls ElevenLabs Scribe to transcribe the audio, generating word‑level timestamps.
Review the auto‑generated cut plan shown by Claude and click approve to let FFmpeg stitch the clean segments.
Prompt Claude to add motion graphics and captions for each segment, e.g., “add captions using the existing transcript”.
Upload your chosen background music file, then tell Claude the desired volume level (e.g., –22 dB).
If needed, refine graphics by specifying changes such as logo placement or color scheme; Claude re‑renders only the edited sections.
Export the final video; Claude renders the file, saves it to your downloads folder, and retains the project for future edits.
