Video Editor Skills

Video Editor Skills: Claude Code skills package that acts as a first-pass video editor for DaVinci Resolve Studio.

Video Editor Skills teaches Claude Code to function as a first-pass video editor for YouTube vlogs and classes inside DaVinci Resolve Studio. The package provides methods, rules, and guidance rather than pre-written code, allowing Claude to build custom scripts for your specific setup. It covers workspace setup, rough cuts, silence detection, B-roll placement, audio normalization, music cues, captions, and Remotion motion overlays. The system keeps raw footage safe and only adds to timelines without modifying existing templates or projects. It is designed for creators who want to automate repetitive editing tasks while retaining creative control over taste calls.
