In this video I show you how I use Claude AI to edit a full reel from raw footage: the cuts, captions, color grading, zooms, visuals and hooks, with no editor and no Claude Code. You’ll learn how to write the first prompt that sets up the whole edit, the 5 editing basics Claude needs to know (dead air, the first 2 seconds, text safe zones, pacing and color grading), how to use a beat table and contact sheet to check the edit before it renders, and how to give Claude feedback that actually fixes things. I also show the mistake that made my reel look worse, how I fixed it by adding rules instead of effects, how to ask for multiple hook variations, and how to turn the whole process into a repeatable Claude skill for every reel after this one. If you want to edit your reels and short-form videos with AI and stop paying an editor for every version, this is the full workflow.
