PUBLIC-REPO-HERE I gave Claude a raw video file and told it: "trim it, add motion graphics." It did everything. No editing software, no manual prompts for each beat, no me clicking around. The intro you see at the top of the video was built end-to-end by the pipeline — and it's the kind of motion-graphics work that usually takes an editor an afternoon. In this one I walk through the architecture behind it: how the trim layer works, why VAD on top of transcription beats either alone, and the part most people skip — the instruction layer that turns Claude from "popping text on the screen" into actually composing real motion graphics. I also show the moment where Claude built a beat I never asked for, just by reading what I said in the transcript. There's a small file-size detail in the takes folder that quietly tells the whole story too. Drop your raw .mov in the repo, see what comes out the other side.

If you've ever shipped an MVP and noticed the AI-default landing page screaming through every screen — same lavender, same gradient hero, same soft-card grid — this video is for you. I tested three of the most popular Claude Code design skills against the exact same one-shot brief and watched them split into completely different aesthetic universes. If you're picking a design skill for your next side project, this is the comparison you'd otherwise have to run yourself. Repo with the routing rules and side-by-side outputs is in the description.

GITHUB REPO HERE Claude Code can't ingest video out of the box — so in this build I give it eyes and ears. Paste any YouTube URL into a single /watch command and Claude hands back a full frame-by-frame breakdown of the hook: what's on screen, what's being said, why it works, and a reusable formula you can steal. I run it live on a couple of viral hooks from creators you probably already follow, walk through the architecture (it's surprisingly simple — two tools you've definitely heard of), and show the one design choice that makes hook analysis actually useful instead of generic. There's also a fun moment where Claude catches a mistake YouTube's auto-captions made on the very first frame.
