I'm not technical β€” I just drop the raw file into a folder and Claude Code makes the cuts, trims the dead space, adds motion graphics, burns in captions styled to my brand kit, drops in sound effects, and even generates AI B-rolls that actually match what I'm saying. AI video editing used to look terrible, but this is the workflow that finally makes it look clean. You'll see the exact tools I use (Claude Code, Whisper, FFmpeg, Hyperframes by HeyGen, and Higgsfield for B-rolls), how the MCP connections work, and a full start-to-finish live demo of one video getting edited. Most importantly, I break down the real cost β€” because editing runs on your Claude tokens, not credits, so you're basically only paying your subscription, plus $2–$7 per video if you want AI B-rolls. Compare that to $50–$3,000 for a human editor. I spent weeks figuring this out so you don't have to waste your money or your time. If you want the system that turns your long form into short form too, drop "shorts" in the comments and I'll make that video next. πŸ”— My Content Gear & Set Up: https://amzn.to/4yIkbqT Some links in this description are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you purchase through them at no extra cost to you.

AI Maker Residence at KOKO

The third AI workshop taught by our legendary teacher, Nick Sarafa. In one of the last events we did an asset manager raised an additional Β£25M on their fund within a space of 9 months. This is a full-day hands-on training workshop for purposeful co-creation with AI using Claude Code. Imagine having access to hundreds of billions of dollars of computing power and knowing exactly how to make it work for you through the power of super intelligence. One person did.
