Edit real footage with an agent: turn raw takes of a talking head, podcast, vlog, course or ad into a clean cut, then add captions, B-roll, motion graphics and sound with HyperFrames or Remotion. Reads the take as text and audio, removes dead air, retakes and stumbles without clipping words, writes the cut as an edit list a person can review, keeps every graphic on the spoken word, and checks the result with numbers and frames before a person watches; tested scripts and defaults from 2,318 edit…
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'edit-footage-with-code' ~/.claude/skills/'edit-footage-with-code' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
