خمس مهارات مونتاج لكلود: كل وحدة بستايل فيديو مختلفFive video editing skills for Claude, each with its own style

Key terms

Skill

A file of instructions and tools Claude reads to do one specific job. Install it once, then ask for it in plain words.

Claude Code

Claude running in the terminal on your machine. All five skills need it, because they write files and render video locally.

Plugin marketplace

A two command install in Claude Code: add the source, then install the plugin.

ffmpeg and Node.js

Free local tools Claude uses to assemble images and sound into an MP4 file.

Render

The moment the code turns into a finished video file.

The steps

1. 1

   Step 1

   Set up your machine once

   Every skill here runs in Claude Code on your machine, not in the regular Claude app. They write code and turn it into video, so they need local tools.

   Install Node.js 22 or newer, ffmpeg and Chrome first. Some skills also need Python.

   The prompt below has Claude check what is missing and hand you the install command.

   PromptCheck your machine

   Copy

   Check that my machine is ready for video skills: Node.js (22 or newer), ffmpeg, Python 3.11 or newer, and Chrome. For anything missing, give me the install command for [macOS, Windows or Linux] and run it after I approve.

   Tip: Video in code costs time and tokens. Start with a 10 to 15 second clip.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Skill one: HyperFrames by HeyGen for motion graphics

   An open source tool from HeyGen that turns HTML, CSS and animation into an MP4. You get clean motion graphics: titles, numbers and screens in motion. Every render is deterministic, so the same input gives the same video.

   It suits you if you make ads for a tech company or launch videos full of numbers and screens.

   Install in Claude Code with two commands: claude plugin marketplace add heygen-com/hyperframes claude plugin install hyperframes@hyperframes

   Then start your request with /hyperframes. Licensed Apache 2.0, so commercial work is fine.

   Prompt15 second tech ad

   Copy

   /hyperframes Make a 15 second 9:16 video ad for [product name]. Open with a title that eases in: [title]. Then a big number counting up to [number] with one line explaining it: [line]. Then the app screen [describe the screen] moving gently, and end on the logo with [call to action]. Colors: [colors]. Large, clear type that reads on a phone.

3. 3

   Step 3

   Skill two: onetake for one continuous shot

   A skill that builds a film as one continuous shot. No cuts. Each scene grows out of the one before it. A built in checker scores every scene boundary to make sure something visibly carries over, so it never feels like a slideshow.

   It suits you if you want to hold attention from the first second to the last: app launches, teasers, or feature demos rebuilt from screenshots with no screen recording.

   Install in Claude Code with one command: git clone https://github.com/feitangyuan/onetake.git ~/.claude/skills/onetake

   Needs python3 with playwright, ffmpeg and node. Drafts render at 1080p, finals at 4K.

   PromptOne shot launch video

   Copy

   Use the onetake skill to make a 20 second launch video for [app name]. The app does: [one line]. Use these screenshots instead of a screen recording: [path to images]. Keep it one continuous shot, each scene growing out of the last, and check the transitions before the final render.

   Tip: Licensed PolyForm Noncommercial: free for personal and educational use only, not for paid client work.

4. 4

   Step 4

   Skill three: Collage Broll for the cut and paste look

   Paper collage style: printed cut outs, like pieces from a magazine, assembling in front of you on a flat color field. Give it one line, it proposes a visual metaphor, generates a still, then animates the pieces coming together. You get a 5 second 9:16 clip, with optional voiceover.

   It suits documentary and history content, or any abstract idea you want to show in one picture.

   The original is by developer pyang5166, written in Chinese for Codex. I recommend the English adaptation for Claude Code, VOX COLLAGE BROLL. Install: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/collage-broll-explainers curl -o ~/.claude/skills/collage-broll-explainers/SKILL.md https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MegaTroll222/VOX-COLLAGE-BROLL/main/SKILL.md claude mcp add --transport http maxfusion https://mcp.maxfusion.ai/mcp

   The last command connects the MaxFusion MCP, which generates the images, video and speech. It asks you to sign in the first time. You also need ffmpeg.

   PromptCollage clip for one line

   Copy

   Use the collage-broll-explainers skill to make a collage clip for this line: "[your line]". Propose three visual metaphors first and wait for me to pick one before generating any image. Colors: [two or three colors].

   Tip: Generation runs through your MaxFusion account, so check its terms before you generate a lot of clips.

5. 5

   Step 5

   Skill four: Clawd Animation for brush painted cartoons

   Its real name on GitHub is ClaudeAnimationBase. Clawd is the character inside it. It is not a skill you install, it is a starter project you open in Claude Code.

   It animates cartoons that look hand painted, using p5.js and p5.brush. It ships with the Clawd character, 31 acted emotions, and a guide that has the model storyboard, build the scene shot by shot, check its own work and write an MP4.

   It suits you if you want to tell a story in cartoon style, with characters that move, act and explain your idea.

   Install: git clone https://github.com/JohnHeibel/ClaudeAnimationBase.git cd ClaudeAnimationBase npm install claude

   Needs Node.js, Chrome and ffmpeg. Licensed MIT.

   Prompt15 second cartoon story

   Copy

   Read ANIMATION_GUIDE.md first, then make a 15 second video of Clawd [the situation, for example trying to catch a butterfly]. Story: [the start], then [the problem], ending with [the ending]. Draw the storyboard and show it to me before you render.

   Tip: Without a strong GPU renders are slow. Ask Claude to swap the watercolor fills for something lighter.

6. 6

   Step 6

   Skill five, the strongest: Lemo Opuscar for film styles

   A library of film styles for Claude Code by LemoLab. Not one style: at the time of writing it has 59 ready styles, and the count grows with updates. You can also build and keep your own.

   Each style comes with a prompt and a demo film, all made in code: drawn frame by frame with music and narration, no filmed footage and no video generation model.

   It suits cinematic content, or trying many looks on the same idea.

   Install in Claude Code: claude plugin marketplace add lemomo-ai/lemo-opuscar claude plugin install lemo-opuscar@lemolab

   Needs Node 20 or newer, ffmpeg and Python 3.11. One film takes 30 to 60 minutes and a fair amount of tokens, and the styles are tuned for Claude Opus 5.5.

   PromptShort film in a style

   Copy

   Show me the list of styles you have and suggest the three best for [topic]. After I pick, make a 45 second film in that style. [Male or female] narrator with a [warm or energetic] tone, for an audience of [who watches].

   Tip: Films you make are fully yours. The demo films in the library are CC BY 4.0, so credit LemoLab if you reuse them.

7. 7

   Step 7

   Pick one and start today

   Do not install all five at once. Start with the one that matches your content.

   Tech ads with numbers and screens: HyperFrames.

   A launch video that holds attention in one shot: onetake, personal work only.

   Documentary or history content: Collage Broll.

   A story with a cartoon character: Clawd Animation.

   Cinematic content or many styles to test: Lemo Opuscar.

   Make one short video, look at the result, then try the next skill.

   PromptLet Claude pick for you

   Copy

   I make content about [your topic] for [audience], posted on [platform]. Of these skills: HyperFrames, onetake, Collage Broll, Clawd Animation, Lemo Opuscar, which one fits me best and why? Then write my first prompt for it.

8. 8

   Step 8

   The whole system in the course

   This guide is the free part. The full system is in my course: 16 lessons in Gulf Arabic, with Arabic captions in the right word order, one loudness level, a ready SKILL.md, and a whole folder edited with one command.

   Ready for the whole system? The course is here: https://mabuzant.com/academy/claude-video-editing?src=guide-khams

Ready prompts to copy

Here is a [length] second video script: [script]. Split it into scenes, and for each scene write the spoken line, what appears on screen, and the motion. Then tell me which video skill fits this script best.
