okay I did not expect Claude Code to be this good at editing videos
I gave Claude Code my raw clips and two reels my editor made, and told it to edit a new one in his style
it rendered the reel, then went back and checked its own work without me asking
it even created this premiere pro looking editor on my localhost that I opened and could edit in real time
it’s good enough to edit your videos if you’re starting out
excited for how good it gets by the end of the year… this entire thing took like under 5 mins of my time
