How to Edit Instagram Videos With AI (Claude Code)

From the creator

πŸ’‘ Free Claude editing skill + Claude Code installation guide: https://go.genhq.io/claude-premiere-yt-genhq πŸ”Š Ocular Sounds, the sound effects library I use (not affiliated): https://ocularsounds.com πŸ€– Claude plans: https://claude.com/pricing 🎬 Adobe Premiere Pro: https://www.adobe.com/products/premiere.html πŸ’Ό GenHQ job marketplace β€” find paid AI work: https://www.genhq.io πŸŽ“ Join the GenHQ Skool community: https://join.genhq.io/ Claude can now edit your Instagram and TikTok videos for you: cuts, captions, graphics and sound design, all built as a fully editable Premiere Pro timeline. In this video I take one 78-second iPhone take full of mistakes and show you how Claude Code turns it into three different styles of reel: a full-screen talking head, an educational split screen, and a cinematic black-and-white podcast edit with words behind my head. There's no sponsor on this one and no AI image or video subscriptions needed. It's just Claude Code and Premiere Pro. If you're a business, this is how you produce on-brand short-form content at scale, with your logo, fonts and colours in every edit. And at the end I answer the big question: what becomes valuable when every video is easy to edit? In this video, you'll learn: - How to set up one project folder (footage, inspiration, sound design) so Claude can edit for you - How Claude "watches" and "listens" to your footage, finds your best takes and cuts the silences - How to recreate an editing style you love from a reference reel, without copying it - How Claude builds graphics in code and lays everything out on its own Premiere Pro tracks - How to get layered, premium sound design from your own sound effects library - How to give feedback in plain English so every revision round gets you closer - What each edit actually cost compared to a human editor Tools used in this video: - Claude Code (the $20 a month plan is the minimum; go higher if you're editing lots of videos) - Adobe Premiere Pro - Whisper (free speech-to-text) - Ocular Sounds sound effects library Got questions? Drop them in the comments and I'll get back to as many as I can.

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. This fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
