Video production and editing

• Claude Code is the editor agent: it writes the edit code, runs tools and renders. Use the desktop app, not the browser, so it can read local files. De2SEI7JP8r De8SPjEAuV0 [demo]
• Remotion (github.com/remotion-dev/remotion): React framework for programmatic video. Used for captions on screen, prompt bars, magazine covers, 3x3 reel walls, before/after slider, lyric typography. De8SPjEAuV0 De2SEI7JP8r DeZKCA3PNQ7 [demo]
• HyperFrames (github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes, by HeyGen, Apache-2.0, about 65.9k stars shown): motion graphics and 3D, and a studio where you comment on specific shots (Shot 0:07, index.html, Feedback) so Claude gets context. De2SEI7JP8r DevtyU1kmHC [demo]
• FFmpeg (github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg): cuts, joins, converts, colour grade, curves, saturation, vignette. De8SPjEAuV0 De2SEI7JP8r [demo]
• Whisper (whisper.cpp, github.com/ggml-org/whisper.cpp): word-level timing for captions. Alternatives for transcription-based cutting: AssemblyAI or ElevenLabs. De8SPjEAuV0 De2SEI7JP8r DevtyU1kmHC [demo]
• yt-dlp (github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp): downloads videos from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube "pretty much anywhere", to study style or to build a reel wall. Copyright and ToS risk. De8SPjEAuV0 De2SEI7JP8r [demo]
• A person segmentation model: cuts you out so text sits behind your head. De8SPjEAuV0 De7JFJdo4KX [demo]
• Playwright, Chromium, Python 3 with numpy and scipy, ffmpeg: toolchain in the website-to-motion prompt (capture site at 1440 px wide). Dd1_xOzBHv1 [demo]
• Skipped tools: CapCut and the Edits app are shown crossed out in "no editing app" reels. DeUUFJQu8cw De8SPjEAuV0 [demo]
• Model and effort tip: Opus 5.5 at "Extra high" effort (picker shows Low / Medium / High / Extra high / Max; models Fable 5.1, Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5). DevtyU1kmHC [claim]
• Commenter alternatives: JsonCut, Antigravity (OpenFilm creator says the one-liner works in Antigravity), ChatCut, After Effects MCP with a design system to get an editable project file. De2SEI7JP8r Dep0wuhvizo Dd1_xOzBHv1 [claim]

• Step 1 Set up: Claude Code desktop app. Make a folder "AI Video Editor" with three subfolders: raw footage, references, exports. New Claude Code chat, choose Local, select that folder. De2SEI7JP8r [demo]
• Step 2 Install tools: give Claude the links (Remotion, HyperFrames, FFmpeg, Whisper, yt-dlp) and the install prompt (full text in Frameworks). Claude installs and tests each. De2SEI7JP8r [demo]
• Step 3 Find your style: send 3 to 5 video links (a creator to mimic, or your own). Claude downloads them into references, studies fonts, colours, captions, cuts, zooms, pacing, motion graphics, music and sound, and writes a brand sheet you review (own, not copy). Example brand sheet: palette, one font, one emphasis colour. De2SEI7JP8r [demo]
• Step 4 Film and edit: drop raw footage into raw footage, run the edit prompt (cut pauses longer than 0.1 s, follow brand sheet, add captions, music, motion graphics, use references, storyboard first, export). Then give notes like a real editor ("Make the hook bigger" -> "hook is 104px now"). De2SEI7JP8r [demo]
• Caveat: cutting every pause over 0.1 s can sound robotic; "pacing and where cuts land on beat still need manual review" (commenter). "Free is the editor, Claude usage isn't." De2SEI7JP8r [claim]
• Plagiarism note: @samdespo (original guide, @samdespomarketing) says this creator copied his video word for word. De2SEI7JP8r [anecdote]

• Before rendering, have Claude write a storyboard table: every spoken line, what is on screen, which tool makes it. Fix the plan, then Claude builds from it. "I always do this before I shoot." De8SPjEAuV0 [demo]
• Justyn's storyboard rows: time range, shot type (e.g. "Talking head, wide"), quoted line, hook text, emphasis, score cues (e.g. "drop 1 on 'Claude did.'"). You see what Claude is thinking before it creates the video. DeUUFJQu8cw [demo]
• In the 4-step recipe the edit prompt itself ends with "Show me a storyboard to review first, then export". De2SEI7JP8r [demo]
• Storyboard approval doubles as a client QA gate for agencies and fits Ilene Joy's "approval mocks first" rule. DeUUFJQu8cw [claim]

• "I want you to take a pass at editing this." Then "make it more aesthetic": warm colour grade, best videos float in as b-roll cards, titles become a magazine cover. DeUUFJQu8cw De8SPjEAuV0 [demo]
• "Make it moody": colours go dark, captions come in huge (large serif). DeUUFJQu8cw [demo]
• "Tighter cut, bigger captions": one more sentence. Bad takes are removed from raw footage (1:16 raw shown with a "BAD TAKE" stamp). DeUUFJQu8cw [demo]
• Text behind head: segmentation cutout + Remotion. De8SPjEAuV0 [demo]
• Captions: Whisper timing + Remotion. Chandler prefers plain text with shadow over a green box; Justyn prefers the green box as on-brand. De8SPjEAuV0 [anecdote]
• Ask Claude to draw graphics as vector illustrations. De8SPjEAuV0 [demo]
• Warm look with slider reveal: FFmpeg colour + Remotion slider. De8SPjEAuV0 [demo]
• Moody grade settings: curves pull highlights down, lift blacks, saturation down 15 percent, soft vignette (sliders shown: highlights -35, blacks +12, saturation -15, vignette). De8SPjEAuV0 [demo]
• Recursive zoom prompt: "On the word 'this', shrink the shot into a picture of itself, 3 levels deep, then push through it with a spin and blur." Chandler says it is too much; a whip pan looks cleaner. De8SPjEAuV0 [demo]
• 3x3 wall prompt: "Shrink my shot into the centre tile of a 3x3 grid, then pop 8 of these reels in around it, one per frame." Reels downloaded with yt-dlp. De8SPjEAuV0 [demo]
• Timeline mockup: possible, but a real screenshot looks better. De8SPjEAuV0 [anecdote]

• Vibha's /effects skill: one talking-head clip re-edited into 7 styles, each a single command: /effects glass-widgets, documentary (B&W with pink glow), orbit ("your reels circle your head"), spotlight, kallaway-split, checklist (halftone grid), timeline, plus a render-studio UI (4K, words synced). Named effects on the end card: glass-widgets, orbit, spotlight, lineup, shortcut-rain, checklist, timeline, comment-box, free-collage, cover-star, headline-wall, phone-fan, rabbit-hole, profile-wall, notes, the-bill, split-headline, kallaway-split, glitter spotlight, news match-cut, iPhone toggles. Count changes across sources: 7 in the caption, 36 in the video, "actually 42 now" in replies. "Free starter versions, you approve every frame"; full styles "coming in the editing studio". De7JFJdo4KX [demo]
• Corbin Sylk's commands: /match-cut, /shutter-strike ("Photo cards snap in, then strike through"), /screen-push-digital, /liquid-glass-graph (green line graph at 72 percent), /screen-push, /over-the-shoulder-zoom, /stack ("Every effect, one prompt each"). 20 effects, prompts gated. DeuQkT1BzGV [demo]
• Ashok's Claude + invideo "Motion" skill: output is an editable timeline with every layer and keyframe, not a flat MP4; claims a uniform style (quality, animations, graphics, typography) and that such an edit takes a motion designer days. Likely invideo affiliate. DebyJVyTLOf [demo]
• Make your own: after an edit you like, ask Claude to turn the workflow into a reusable /animate skill. DevtyU1kmHC [demo]

• Three steps: (1) collect everything about the subject: website, document, pictures; (2) use a motion prompt (many circulate on X) or the /brag skill; (3) put info, prompt and skill together and state the ratio: square, portrait or landscape. Dd1_xOzBHv1 [demo]
• Install shown in caption: npx skills add https://github.com/latent-spaces/brag --skill brag (do not run without reading the repo). Dd1_xOzBHv1 [demo]
• His XML prompt ("motion-video-prompt.xml"): role = motion designer and creative developer turning a live website into UI motion video entirely in code; inputs = website URL and song path (ElevenLabs Music or Mixkit); format e.g. 16-second loop at 1440x1440; direction = cursor clicks, hovers and drags, springs, a tiny overshoot, camera zoom, palette from the site; banned = bouncy easing, particle bursts, glows, gradients; process = Playwright + Chromium, Python 3 + numpy + scipy, ffmpeg, capture at 1440 px. Text seen only briefly, may be partial. Dd1_xOzBHv1 [demo]
• "Share this reel straight to your Claude Code and let it build" (agent-readable reel idea). Dd1_xOzBHv1 [claim]
• Token cost: Jens says "Opus is pretty efficient honestly". Critics: "Motionslop... if it's cheap to produce it's not desirable anymore." Dd1_xOzBHv1 [anecdote]
• Claude can do Johnny Harris-style motion design, Vox-style collage and Zack D. Films-style 3D in about 30 minutes without animating a frame (claim). Screenshot shows a Claude Code prompt for a 10 s three-shot nature montage using p5.brush and synthesised audio. DemBKpbxSyd [claim]

• Named problem: "Claude flop", everyone gets the same transitions, camera moves and style because prompts are generic. Knowing how to generate an animation is not the same as designing with Claude. DemBKpbxSyd [claim]
• "Go make a music video" gives slop. Same song, with references and explicit art direction (palette, type, imagery: reds and oranges, a coin, broken glass, an illustrated woman), Remotion and a custom MCP harness, gives a polished lyric video. "It's not oneshot." DeZKCA3PNQ7 [demo]
• Give Claude a design system first (your style built from screenshots and website references) to avoid the "vibe-coded AI sloppy look". DevtyU1kmHC [demo]
• Three ways to look different: (1) paste open-source GitHub effect libraries into Claude and let it pull real code (shown: github.com/Jakubantalik/Libraries.dev with a <ThinkingOrb state="weaving" /> component; 3D line art; a free mascot library; particles; a globe credited to @theSethian); (2) work in a persistent workspace (CLAUDE.md, references/brand.md, references/voice.md, .claude/skills, projects/) so Claude sees your brand and past work; (3) generate a matching soundtrack with Suno. De1xXtICvqs [demo]
• Audience tells: "it looks like a claude edit"; "I'm still looking at the paint cut on the ceiling". The look is recognisable. DeUUFJQu8cw [anecdote]
• "Taste matters with AI, so pay attention to what you watch, hear and read." DeEoDBASC5R [claim]

• SFX layering on a travel edit, labelled per beat: "Bass drop + data flicker", "Glass riser", "Data UI", "Data clicks". Timeline tracks: Data Click, Whoosh, Glass Riser stacked over music. Shot on DJI Pocket 3, edited in Final Cut Pro, graded with @the.lookslab LUTs (code 1CHO = 10 percent off). De19MgmSv9N [demo]
• Music fitted to pace: Suno prompt "Light upbeat lo-fi pop instrumental for a tech creator reel" produced "Pixel Bloom" at 118 bpm; compare "Airy / flowing" vs "Punchy / percussive". Commenter: Suno tightened download limits; open-source alternatives exist. De1xXtICvqs [demo]
• Song sources in a motion prompt: ElevenLabs Music or Mixkit. Dd1_xOzBHv1 [demo]
• Radio voice chain, in this order: (1) high-pass, cut below about 100 Hz (rumble only); (2) downward expander, quiet parts get quieter (fan, keyboard, breaths); (3) de-esser, targets only S hiss; (4) EQ boost around 3,500 Hz for clarity (some radio mics have a presence switch for this); (5) compressor, narrows the gap between quietest and loudest words, set level once; (6) limiter, a ceiling so laughs and shouts do not distort. Put the expander before the compressor, otherwise the compressor raises the noise between words. DeO-iyvFiCm [demo]
• Expander vs gate: a gate opens and closes; a downward expander pushes down smoothly. Expander targets room noise, compressor targets the vocal, they do not cancel out. DeO-iyvFiCm [demo]
• Simpler chain for social talking heads (note-writer suggestion): high-pass 80 to 100 Hz, light de-ess, mild compression, limiter about -1 dB, skip aggressive expansion. DeO-iyvFiCm [claim]
• Strong sound design alone held viewers: top comment "I stayed because the sound design was nice" (11.3k likes); creator says "not raw Opus: mix of models, sound engineering and animation tooling". Sounds from Apple iMovie and GarageBand. DeXr6rKlB4G [anecdote]

• Same sentence four ways: BAD rushing, Better dragging, Good rhythmic, best tone and rhythm (pitch rises between beats). He claps as a metronome. DdFdFiavMJ0 [demo]
• Eyes on the lens, not the screen. Titles at chest height, not across chin or neck. Subtitles in the lower-middle. Ideas "from AI, not here" (pure claim). "Nothing goes here" for empty space. DeL07LCkYYr [claim]
• Commenter pushback: titles can go anywhere if readable; a deaf viewer asked where subtitles go when a signer is in frame (unanswered). DeL07LCkYYr [anecdote]
• Hook timing template from secondary reels: hook 0-3 s, explain 3-10 s, illustrate 10-30 s, apply rest. (See category 6 for script detail.) DeABDB9I2D1 [claim]

• Retention editing, pattern interrupt, goldmine theory (undefined, likely his own label), "Zygmuntic effect" (almost certainly Zeigarnik effect: unfinished stories stay in mind), curiosity loop, open loop, hook stacking, confirmation bias, first frame clarity, eye trace editing, caption chunking, value density, but-therefore storytelling. The reel gives no definitions; the DM does. DeABDB9I2D1 [claim]

• Self-referential opener: 4 seconds of a man and a brick, no words, then the P. T. Barnum story (five bricks; "To the Egress" sign), then the reveal "This video opened the same way". Minimal grayscale isometric animation with red accents, a "WATCHING: n" counter, sources cited in caption (Barnum, Struggles and Triumphs, 1869, pp. 121-123 and 138-141). DeXr6rKlB4G [demo]
• AI mini-documentary as the product: "Human + Claude" badge, split screen of her reacting to phone-sized cards, one art-directed card per story beat (banana cloning: Gros Michel, Panama disease, Cavendish, Leuven gene bank with 1,500 varieties), vintage botanical style, yellow serif subtitles inside cards, Mozart flute and harp concerto underneath. Process withheld behind "Process" comment. DeEoDBASC5R [demo]
• 3D low-poly character skit used to pitch a tool (see category 11). De9bqWtoARc [demo]

• Claude skill with a long "master prompt" plus Seedance 2.5: give brand info via the master prompt, then a front and a back product photo; the skill plans shots, setup and camera angles; output is a set of product videos. Demo: Lay's pack on green, ingredients on a counter, chips spilling, seasoning particles, hand pick, macro. "This Lays Ad was built in 30 minutes". Ddtg-Ikhb6H [demo]
• Pushback: "Equivalent to a real photoshoot is doing a lot of work"; "Claude cannot match a talented photographer". Creator admits the hook "is meant to trigger the Insta algo, not humans". Ddtg-Ikhb6H [anecdote]
• Pack text in AI video is often wrong; overlay real pack art in post. Using third-party trademarks (Lay's) in real ads is a licensing risk. Ddtg-Ikhb6H [claim]

• Steps: open Edits app, create a draft; top-left dropdown, "Manage Versions"; make 5 versions of one viral video with 5 on-screen hooks and 5 instrumentals; do this for 5 viral videos per day; schedule each video's 5 variants one week apart (e.g. every Friday); use "Link a reel" to link each trial to your most viral or most follower-gaining video. Dco8DB2oRRt [anecdote]
• Claim: "over a million followers and over a billion views" last year using Trial Reels (insights panel about 334,771,000 views). Unverified. Dco8DB2oRRt [claim]
• Pushback: variants "get flagged as duplicates and deprioritized" (85 likes); many cannot see Versions or cannot schedule trials; a follower saw a trial reel in feed. Dco8DB2oRRt [anecdote]
• Trial reels as an A/B testing tool for edits (paired versions, retention per phrase) are covered in category 11 (De-HXzJtpku).

• OpenFilm: free, MIT, open-source video agent and studio inside Codex, Claude Code, Antigravity, Cursor, OpenCode, Devin, GitHub Copilot. Install npx skills add openfilm/openfilm; the agent then runs openfilm open <project>. It cuts ums, picks shots, adds captions, B-roll, colour, motion graphics, voice and music. Manual edit: click to move, scale, turn, colour; properties panel; draw a box and tell the agent to fix that region. Exports GIF, PNG, ProRes, WebM, MP4, HEVC, Premiere Pro / DaVinci Resolve project, transparent, audio stems, captions, whole project. Early, updated constantly. Dep0wuhvizo [demo]
• Tanish already has an openfilm skill installed in this environment, so this is the most direct one to test. Dep0wuhvizo [claim]

• A GitHub repo of 500+ viral AI motion-design videos, each with its prompt, so you can copy a prompt and remake or remix the style. Uses: recreate in minutes, learn prompt structure, speed up client work, remix into originals. Name never shown; a commenter posted https://github.com/yihui-dev/awesome-opus5-5-videos (unverified). DeUK2NZS3Ig [demo]

• SFX breakdown overlay: clip on top, NLE timeline below, a label per beat, graph-paper background, 11 s loop. De19MgmSv9N [demo]
• One clip, N edits: same talking-head clip in 7 styles with the command shown before each. De7JFJdo4KX [demo]
• Original clip beside processed result with an "Original clip" label. DebyJVyTLOf [demo]
• Command-to-result montage, no voice, then a 4x5 grid of all effects. DeuQkT1BzGV [demo]
• Reaction to a competitor's paid edit ("selling this for $97, I'm giving it away"), with the original as picture-in-picture. Drew credit complaints; tag the original. De8SPjEAuV0 [anecdote]
• Slop vs directed side-by-side response video. DeZKCA3PNQ7 [demo]
• The reel is its own proof ("I didn't edit a single second of this video"). DeUUFJQu8cw DevtyU1kmHC DebyJVyTLOf Dep0wuhvizo [demo]
• Dark-mode animated explainer with one concept per 10 s and a visual metaphor per concept (audio chain graphs). DeO-iyvFiCm [demo]

• Comment-keyword to DM drove: 160,837 comments on 2.29M plays (EDIT) DeUUFJQu8cw; 60,886 on 2.27M (Claude) De7JFJdo4KX; 22,203 on 1.35M (STACK) DeuQkT1BzGV; 18,488 on 506k (EDIT) De8SPjEAuV0; 23,635 on 1.26M (comment anything) Ddtg-Ikhb6H; 18,933 on 1.26M (motion) De2SEI7JP8r; 6,545 on 156k (MOTION) DebyJVyTLOf; 5,965 on 269k (animate, webinar) DemBKpbxSyd; 895 on 86k (SFX) De19MgmSv9N. [data]
• Bot overload: Justyn's DM automation failed ("we've overloaded the system"), so he pinned a waitlist link; Millee hit the ManyChat limit and pinned the guide link. Keep a bio-link fallback ready. DeUUFJQu8cw De2SEI7JP8r [anecdote]
• No-gate alternative: Patchd used only "link in bio" and "Save this for the next time you set up your mic" and got 2.66M plays, 107k likes. DeO-iyvFiCm [data]

Tools install prompt De2SEI7JP8r

I want you to be my video editor. Install these tools on my computer: [Remotion link], [HyperFrames link], [FFmpeg link], [Whisper link], [yt-dlp link]. Test each one, then tell me when you're ready.

Style study prompt De2SEI7JP8r

Learn the editing style from these videos: [Instagram link 1] [link 2] [link 3]. Download each into my references folder. Study the fonts, colours and captions; the cuts, zooms and pacing; the motion graphics, music and sound. Make a brand sheet I can review (my own style, not a copy). Once I approve it, follow it on every edit.

Edit prompt De2SEI7JP8r

Edit my new video into an Instagram Reel: [FILE NAME] in my raw footage folder. 1) Cut every pause longer than 0.1 seconds. 2) Follow my brand sheet. 3) Add captions, music and motion graphics. 4) Use anything in my references folder. Show me a storyboard to review first, then export it to my exports folder.

Storyboard table De8SPjEAuV0 DeUUFJQu8cw

Three-step directing loop DevtyU1kmHC

1. The cut: transcript (AssemblyAI, ElevenLabs or Whisper); Claude cuts pauses and false takes, keeps best shots.

2. The animation: give a design system first (screenshots, site references).

3. Directing: expect about 80 percent from one prompt; watch back; send all notes in one batch (HyperFrames shot comments help). Then: "make this my /animate skill".

Website-to-motion recipe Dd1_xOzBHv1 Inputs (site URL, doc, pictures, song) + prompt or /brag skill + aspect ratio. Prompt constraints: 16 s loop, 1440x1440, cursor clicks / hovers / drags, springs with tiny overshoot, camera zoom, palette from site; banned bouncy easing, particle bursts, glows, gradients.

Radio voice chain DeO-iyvFiCm High-pass ~100 Hz -> downward expander -> de-esser -> EQ boost ~3.5 kHz -> compressor -> limiter. Expander must sit before compressor.

Delivery ladder DdFdFiavMJ0 Rushing (bad) < Dragging (better) < Rhythmic (good) < Tone + rhythm (best).

Frame layout rules DeL07LCkYYr Eyes: lens. Titles: chest. Subtitles: lower middle. Face and neck: keep clear.

Edits Versions repurpose plan Dco8DB2oRRt 5 viral videos/day x 5 versions (5 hooks, 5 instrumentals) -> schedule each version one week apart as a Trial Reel -> link each to your most viral reel.

• "No editing app" vs reality: edits rely on Remotion, FFmpeg, segmentation and render tooling the reels do not show running; setup time, reliability, cost per edit and render time are never given. A commenter's question "how long does one edit take end to end?" went unanswered. De7JFJdo4KX DeUUFJQu8cw De8SPjEAuV0

• "Free" is misleading everywhere: Claude usage, agent tokens and API keys cost money ("free is the editor, Claude usage isn't"; "It will cost money to edit in any AI agent"). De2SEI7JP8r Dep0wuhvizo

• Caption style disagreement: Chandler says lose the green caption box; Justyn (the original creator) prefers it as on-brand. Taste, not rule. De8SPjEAuV0

• Credit disputes: Chandler reacted to Justyn's paid product without tagging him; @samdespo says Millee copied his video word for word. If Tanish reacts to others, tag and credit them. De8SPjEAuV0 De2SEI7JP8r

• Effect counts shift (7 / 36 / 42) and "free starter versions" imply the good effects are paid. De7JFJdo4KX

• Radio chain order is contested: a commenter says the de-esser should go after the compressor; another says the compressor does not bring the voice "to the front of the mix" (EQ or sidechain does). Demo was exaggerated with added fan noise; several viewers say the voices sounded the same apart from the fan or nasal with processing; radio-style processing may be wrong for natural social dialogue. DeO-iyvFiCm

• Edits Versions + Trial Reels: commenters report duplicate flagging, missing features and trials shown to followers. 25 near-identical uploads a day may hurt account health. Date-bound tactic. Dco8DB2oRRt

• Product-to-video "equivalent to a real photoshoot", "30 minutes" and "killed agencies" are unverified and admitted engagement bait; AI invents detail; Lay's trademark used. Ddtg-Ikhb6H

• Caption/title placement advice has no data; the creator's own video drew "too much flashing" complaints. DeL07LCkYYr

• "Ideas come from AI" and "AI is smarter than you" are claims; other reels show AI-written scripts underperforming for commenters (see category 11, Ddt4Tq0BGS_).

• Retention vocabulary reel teaches nothing in-video; "goldmine theory" is not a standard term; Zeigarnik is mis-transcribed. DeABDB9I2D1

• Barnum figures come only from Barnum's memoir; the Egress story is a known tall tale. DeXr6rKlB4G

• Banana documentary facts are roughly right but unsourced; how much is Claude vs manual is unclear; its open "Human + Claude" badge conflicts with Tanish's "never AI label" rule for Ilene Joy. DeEoDBASC5R

Ilene Joy (fine jewellery, Shopify, Instagram)

1. Build one "AI Video Editor" workspace for Ilene Joy using the 4-step recipe (raw footage / references / exports), with a brand sheet derived from approved Ilene Joy reels and the Journal look. Use it only for cutting, captions, type and motion cards; never to generate or alter the jewellery itself (existing product-fidelity rules). De2SEI7JP8r DevtyU1kmHC

2. Storyboard-first on every reel and send the storyboard as the approval mock before rendering. De8SPjEAuV0 DeUUFJQu8cw

3. Caption rule: titles and subtitles stay below the neckline and off ears and wrists. DeL07LCkYYr

4. Try the website-to-motion prompt on one collection page (Reverie) for a 16 s loop in 1:1 and 9:16; keep the prompt's bans (no glows, gradients, particles) since they fit a restrained luxury brand. Dd1_xOzBHv1

5. Add a light SFX layer (riser, soft click, whoosh) on cuts and a music bed checked for commercial licence. De19MgmSv9N De1xXtICvqs

6. Heritage/craft micro-docs (history of gold, pavé, a charm's story) as art-directed card stories, without any AI label. DeEoDBASC5R DeXr6rKlB4G

7. Do not use one-photo-to-video skills for product shots; mood and background motion only. Ddtg-Ikhb6H

8. Test hook variants of the 2-3 best posts via Edits Versions as Trial Reels, small scale, watch for duplicate flags. Dco8DB2oRRt

Healthy Manushya (supplement D2C, India, COD, Meta paused)

1. Before restarting ads, use the editor workspace to cut UGC raw footage into many concept-distinct Hinglish variants with word-timed captions (Whisper). De8SPjEAuV0 De2SEI7JP8r

2. Pack videos via product-to-video are lower risk here than for jewellery, but overlay the real label art in post and verify all text and claims. Ddtg-Ikhb6H

3. Clean voice chain on founder or UGC voiceovers (high-pass, light de-ess, mild compression, limiter). DeO-iyvFiCm

Agencies (Zamn Studios, StudioHRTN, Goodform)

1. Package an "AI-assisted reel editing" service built on Claude Code + Remotion + FFmpeg + Whisper + HyperFrames, with storyboard approval as the client gate. De8SPjEAuV0 De2SEI7JP8r DevtyU1kmHC

2. Build an internal library of effect skills (one command per effect) and a per-client brand sheet / design system; that art-direction layer is the sellable part, not the tools. De7JFJdo4KX DeuQkT1BzGV DeZKCA3PNQ7

3. Offer a "website to motion video pack" (1:1, 9:16, 16:9 loops) for D2C clients. Dd1_xOzBHv1

4. Add "voice delivery" (delivery ladder) and the frame-layout rules to the UGC direction checklist. DdFdFiavMJ0 DeL07LCkYYr

5. Vet OpenFilm, brag, HyperFrames and any effects pack in a sandbox folder first; read SKILL.md and scripts; never install from a DM link. Dep0wuhvizo Dd1_xOzBHv1 De7JFJdo4KX

Tanish's own content

1. Make the reel its own proof: "this whole video was edited by Claude", with a short storyboard screenshot as the receipt. DeUUFJQu8cw DevtyU1kmHC

2. Formats to reuse: one clip / N edits; original clip vs result; slop vs directed side-by-side; dark-mode explainer with one concept per 10 s. De7JFJdo4KX DebyJVyTLOf DeZKCA3PNQ7 DeO-iyvFiCm

3. Coin a named problem (like "Claude flop") for the anti-slop angle. DemBKpbxSyd

4. If using a comment keyword, keep a bio-link fallback for when the DM bot fails, and credit anyone you react to. DeUUFJQu8cw De2SEI7JP8r De8SPjEAuV0

5. Practise delivery: rhythm plus pitch variation on hooks, especially in Hinglish. DdFdFiavMJ0
