Reel Editor Kit

A ready to use editing project. Open the folder in Claude Code, drop in phone clips, describe the reel, and Claude cuts, color fixes, captions and renders it.

What is included

The /reel skill. The step by step editing workflow Claude follows: ingest, transcribe, pick takes, build, preview, render, verify.
Ingest script. Converts iPhone HDR to clean standard color, crops to vertical, and levels audio to about -15 LUFS.
Transcribe script. Word level timing on your own computer, with pauses and likely retakes flagged.
Build and check scripts. Turn a plain text cut list into a timeline, render preview frames, and measure loudness on the final file.
Remotion project. Three caption styles, titles, image cards, checklists, tier lists, b-roll cutaways, sound effects, music and a progress bar.
Reference guides. Hooks and pacing, caption styles and safe zones, the full reel.json format, and troubleshooting.
Quick start. From download to first reel, including installing Claude Code and Node.

Formats it handles well

Talking to camera, list and ranking videos, recommendations with screenshots or thumbnails, voiceover over footage, and simple explainers with on screen cards. If you can describe it, Claude can usually build it from the pieces in the kit.

Questions

How long does a reel take?

After setup, most of the time is rendering. A 30 second reel usually renders in a few minutes, depending on your computer. Your part is filming and giving notes.

Does it work with Cursor or other AI editors?

It is built and tested for Claude Code. The scripts are plain Node, so other coding agents can run them, but the /reel skill is written for Claude.

Can I change the look?

Yes. Ask Claude to change fonts, colors or caption styles, or edit the files yourself. Everything is readable source.

Does it support other languages?

Yes. Transcription supports many languages. Tell Claude which language you speak and it will pick the right speech model.
