Turn Claude Code into a first-pass video editor for your YouTube vlogs and classes in DaVinci Resolve Studio. You film and make the taste calls; Claude imports, cuts retakes and dead air, keeps your B-roll, scores the video, writes clean captions, adds brand motion graphics and helps you export.
These are skills only: the method, the numbers, the rules and the traps, learned on real edits. There is no code in this package. Claude reads the skills and builds the small scripts with you, for your setup.
| Skill | Teaches Claude |
|---|---|
video-editor-setup |
the workspace, safe key handling, your Resolve template, which scripts to build |
edit-video |
the one-command flow: ingest → cut → build in Resolve → report |
rough-cut |
what to keep: retakes, false starts, notes to the editor, punchlines |
vlog-pacing |
silence detection, pads, pause rules, room at scene edges, jump-cut zoom |
broll |
finding and watching B-roll, cutting it by action and story |
resolve-scripting |
what works in the Resolve API, what silently fails, what crashes it |
voice-and-audio |
loudness normalize, diagnosing a muffled voice, EQ recipe |
music-and-sound |
Epidemic Sound cues per section, ducking envelope, tasteful SFX |
captions |
clean, correct, one-line captions read before import |
motion-overlays |
a Remotion brand kit timed to your words, face- and caption-safe |
figma-roundtrip |
design the kit in Figma, keep code and boards in sync |
youtube-export |
Deliver settings for great quality without 25 GB files |
Plus templates/config.example.json (starting values) and LEARNINGS.md, the story of what went wrong and how it was fixed.
As a plugin (keeps the skills together):
/plugin install <path-or-git-url-to-this-folder>
Or copy the skills into your project (.claude/skills/) or your user folder (~/.claude/skills/):
cp -R skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

Raw footage is never modified. In Resolve, Claude only adds (new timelines, new clips) and never touches your template or projects. Keys are never printed. Nothing is published without you.
