Video editing has nowadays become a conversation.. you drop raw footage

Video editing has nowadays become a conversation.. you drop raw footage in a folder, tell Claude Code what you want, and get final.mp4 back. its free, open source, 17,000 stars on Github.. it's called video-use. and the reason it's different from every "AI video editor" is how it actually works under the hood.. it doesn't guess. it transcribes every word you said first, then edits off the actual transcript. what it does once your footage is in the folder: - cuts every umm, uh, and false start automatically
- kills the dead space between takes
- color grades each segment.. warm cinematic, neutral punch, or a custom ffmpeg chain
- builds the cut with editor sub-agents, runs the animations in parallel
- renders a preview, grades its own work, and iterates until it's clean and yeah.. it asks before it cuts. it shows you the plan in plain english and waits for your yes. it's not a black box that spits out a mystery edit.. you stay the director, it does the labor. ▫️ how to start install the skill in claude code (repo below)
 drop your raw clips in a folder
tell it "cut the filler, tighten the pauses, warm cinematic grade" and let it work And yes, it's a tool, not a taste replacement. it'll hand you a clean, tight cut, but the creative calls, the hook, the pacing, the story.. that's still you. it does the 80% that's grunt work so you spend your time on the 20% that matters. editing stopped being a skill you grind for years. it's a prompt now. repo:
