Talking-Head Editor
From raw take to Reel with Claude
From a raw clip of you talking to camera to a clean vertical Reel: cuts, pauses, centred zooms, captions and audio ready to post.
Free Claude skills
Free Claude skills for video editing
Eight free skills that teach Claude Code to edit short-form video: talking-head cuts, captions that never cover a face, video carousels, 30-second recuts and final checks.
CompatibilityWorks in Claude Code. Tested on macOS (Apple Silicon). Windows, Linux and claude.ai are not tested yet.
How to install
Unzip a skill into ~/.claude/skills/ (for every project) or into .claude/skills/ inside one project, then restart Claude Code. Ask Claude in plain words and it uses the skill.
Most skills need ffmpeg and Python 3. The ones that render captions, carousels or end cards also need Node.js for npx hyperframes (HyperFrames by HeyGen, Apache-2.0, not included). Each page lists what that skill needs.

Captions and carousels
Face-Safe Captions
Captions that never cover a face
Captions and titles for your Reels, placed in the first free spot of the safe zone so they never cover a face.
Video Carousels
Carousels that move
Silent, looping 4:5 video carousels on a slow, blurred black and red background, with big glowing titles.
Recut and final checks
30-Second Recut
Any Reel cut to 30 seconds
Cuts a longer video to 30 seconds by whole sentences, for YouTube Shorts, Google Business Profile or ads.
Flash Check
Find and fix flash frames
Finds every shot shorter than 0.4 s and fixes it, in your edit plan or in the finished file, without touching the audio.
Delivery Check
The final check before you post
One command before a video goes out: format, title, loudness, flash frames, safe-zone contact sheet and a light phone copy.
Face Light
Light a face filmed against a window
Adds a soft fill light that follows your face, lifts the shadows and protects the highlights, with the audio untouched.
