I gave Claude Code one prompt at every effort level and asked each run to build a living New York City I could walk through in the browser. Extra high won. 🔗 Official links from the video: ➡️ https://go.genovaflow.com/skool-claude-code-at-every-effort-level-free-video-editing-watch Every run was Opus 5.5 in its own fresh session, one shot, scored against the same 20 checks. Low finished in 18 minutes for about $4 and scored 2 out of 10. Extra high used 502K tokens, fewer than high, cost $23 and passed all 20 checks. Ultracode took 3 hours 39 minutes and $148 to score 6, the same as high. 💡 What you'll learn ✅ What the effort setting actually changes in a build ✅ Why extra high passed every check on fewer tokens than high ✅ When max is worth $45 and when Ultracode is worth $148 📎 Both free files are attached to this post ➡️ new-york-city-prompt.zip The exact prompt every effort level got, word for word. Open a fresh Claude Code session in an empty folder, pick an effort level and paste it, and you are running the same test on your own plan. ➡️ claude-code-video-editing.zip The video editing skills I promised on screen. Drop your raw footage in a folder, open Claude Code there and ask for what you want, like "cut the ums and add captions" or "make three shorts from this". It transcribes the footage, cuts it on word boundaries, builds titles and captions with HyperFrames, exports with ffmpeg, and checks its own render before you see it. It always shows you the plan and waits for your yes before it cuts anything. ⚙️ Setting it up takes one prompt Unzip the folder, open a terminal inside it, run claude, and paste this: Set up the video editing skills in this folder for me. Read install.md and follow it from start to finish. First check my computer, then ask me one question: ElevenLabs (paid API) or Whisper (free, needs a GPU), and tell me which one you recommend for my machine. If I pick ElevenLabs, ask me for my API key. Do everything else yourself, test that it works, then tell me it is ready and wait for my footage.
