Turn a folder of raw video clips into an edited video
Browser Use's free video-use add-on has Claude Code transcribe raw clips, propose an edit plan, then cut filler, adjust color, add subtitles and produce the final video.
Done with Claude Code
What they did
Browser Use released video-use, a free, open-source add-on that lets Claude Code or a similar agent edit video. You point the agent at a folder of raw clips and describe the edit, such as 'edit these into a launch video'. The agent turns each clip's speech into text with ElevenLabs and reads it word by word. It glances at still frames and sound graphs only when deciding cuts. It proposes a plan and waits for your approval. Then it cuts filler words and silences, adjusts color, adds subtitles and builds the final video.
Worth knowing
The AI never watches the video. It works from a short transcript and a few snapshots, and rechecks every cut up to three times before showing a preview. You need a paid ElevenLabs account key and the free ffmpeg video program.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
Set up https://github.com/browser-use/video-use for me. Read install.md, install ffmpeg and dependencies, register the skill, and ask me for my ElevenLabs API key when needed. Then read SKILL.md and helpers/. When I drop footage into [folder path], inventory the clips. Propose an edit plan for [describe the video you want, e.g. a 60-second launch video], including cuts, color grade style and subtitle style. Wait for my approval before cutting or rendering. Then produce edit/final.mp4.
Swap the highlighted [parts] for your own details.
