So today, I'm going to show you how to automate video editing and videos like you can see right here, that are beautifully edited using Claude Opus 5.5. And the quality of this stuff is just unbelievable. So you can replace your video editors with an AI agent. I'm going to show you exactly how we got the quality of this video right here. You could do this with human or with AI avatar videos, and I'll show you how the process works. The other cool thing about this is it can post directly for you. So here's an example. If you go to this post, this was fully posted to the account, as you can see. And the cool thing about this as well is like, it's got the full post with the hashtags completed over here. And that was just posted to our account automatically with Opus 5.5.

So this is a really powerful system that you can use. Now, how does it work? Well, essentially what we did, first of all, is I just created a normal video, as you can see right here. And this is just me talking, right? There's no editing. It was kind of messy. There were mistakes in there. It wasn't particularly good. But the cool thing about this is, you can take like a very, very simple process like this, and then you can create an amazing video like this. So how does it work? Well, basically what Claude Opus 5.5 can do, because it's so good at design, like even this whole page, and it created with Claude Opus. Basically what you can do is you can get that original video, and you can ask Claude Opus to edit it for you.

So let me show an example of how that process worked. So basically what we said here is on that video that we've just created, plus the stuff we've recently created with Claude Opus, because I've been creating some unbelievable stuff with Opus recently, for example, like 3D worlds and beautiful websites, animated videos, all of this stuff was created with Opus 5.5. I mean, check out this 3D immersive world, as you can see right here. It's unbelievable. The quality, the details, the graphics, everything.

And so what I wanted to do is just create a setup where the editing of all this sort of stuff is placed on top of the original video that we gave Claude Opus to start building out with, so that we could sort of showcase everything that we created. And you can use this for any video that you need to be edited with your AI agent. Here's another example. So all this sort of stuff, we can showcase in our video. So if you come back to here, you can see that showcasing all the cool stuff, all the websites we've created, et cetera, with Opus 5.5 on top of this. Now also the camera angles and everything else have been fully automated using Opus 5.5. So it's basically able to act as like a full editing team. Bear in mind, you would need a lot of people to do this for you in the past. Whereas with this system, you can just set it up as you go. So if we look at this as well, one thing that's amazing about this is that it's got the nice animations, it's matched the editing to what I'm talking about, and it just, even the fonts themselves look really, really awesome. And so all you need to do is just make a quick video, or you could use an AI avatar, and then the agent is gonna handle the rest, which is really amazing. Now, how does this work? Well, first of all, we have Claude Code Desktop.

So this is running with Claude Code Desktop, and we can just have our downloads folder as you can see right here, open on our project.

Then what we need to do is make sure that we give a skill to Opus 5.5. What do we use? Personally, I like to use hyperframes. You can use remotion for this as well, but either of those are very, very good at video editing. So this is a free open-source project from Hagen as you can see. Then from there, what we need to do is we need something that can publish it once it's been edited. So what do we use? Well, we're using this tool. To do this, it's pretty simple. What you can do is get the MCP from here and then plug it into Claude. So if we go back into Claude over here, you can see inside our settings, we can now go down to connectors, and inside the connectors, we can now set up this tool that I just showed you, right? So you can see it right here. So we've added that in, which means that once we've created the video, we can then get it posted, which is super nice. And it all happens just inside one chat, which is really cool. The other great thing about this is basically you can save it as a skill. So you can see the whole process here. It created it. And then I said, can I see a preview? It created the preview, so you can see right here and the storyboard. And then we can actually preview over here.
