AI-Powered Video Editing Skill for Precise Video Cuts

AI-Powered Video Editing Skill for Precise Video Cuts

This AI-powered skill assists in video editing by processing long videos into shorter clips based on an agent-defined clip plan. It reads a predefined clip_plan.json and outputs the edited video as edited_source.mp4. Additionally, it manages narration mapping in both single-stage and two-stage creative workflows.

What this skill does

• Validates and completes the clip_plan.json, generating clip_plan_validated.json with clip_id, original/output times, and durations.
• Avoids frame flashes around hard cuts, ensuring reliable audio integrity by snapping boundaries to natural pauses.
• Concatenates selected video segments into edited_source.mp4.
• In a default setup, the process stops at video output, with an agent writing narration.json aligned to the true output timeline.
• For single-stage workflows, maps original narration.json to narration_mapped.json when narration isn't provided in the command.

Who it is for

This skill benefits developers and teams using AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex who need to simplify video editing tasks. It is particularly useful for those working with video cutting, editing, and narration tasks in AI-driven environments.

Use cases

• Editing long-format videos into concise versions for presentations or instructional content.
• Generating highlight reels by utilizing pre-defined clip plans and narratives.
• Assisting media creation teams looking to streamline video production workflows through AI integration.

Technical details

• Requires a properly formatted work_dir/clip_plan.json file, accepting multiple formats and optional target durations.
• Utilizes speech boundary anchors and ASR for accurate segment delineation.
• The skill can manage multi-video projects by requiring source_id specification for each segment.
• Supports both singular and multi-stage workflows, maintaining consistency in outputs.
