Key Insights
This entire YouTube video, the animations, the cuts, the motion graphics, was edited by Claude. Now, over the last few months, my entire feed has been flooded with videos saying Claude just killed video editors. And every time I watch one of those tutorials, I saw the same thing. Trashy, low-quality AI slop that honestly looked embarrassing. But then, I stumbled across a secret workflow made up of four phases, where I trained Claude with actual editing skills my team uses, and turned it into a professional long-form editor. And using this four-phase workflow, I was then able to take this raw footage here and turn it into a high-quality premium YouTube video, and it only took a few hours. So, if you’re an editor and you want to learn how to edit high-quality YouTube videos that look impressive using nothing but Claude, this video is for you. I’ll be revealing the exact text stack that I used, how I trained Claude to become a long-form editor, and the full process going from raw video to high-quality YouTube edit. And it all starts with phase one, cutting. If you’re editing a long-form video, the first thing you’re going to start out with is raw footage. Raw footage contains a lot of silences and bad takes baked into it, which means the first thing that we need to do is cut those out so that we can have a clean-cut video that’s then ready to be edited. Now, traditionally, the way to do this would be to bring your footage into Premiere Pro, and using your razor tool, cut out every silence for the entire video. This can take anywhere between 20 minutes to 2 hours, depending on how long the footage is. But now, with AI, you can do it all within a few clicks. There are multiple programs that can cut your YouTube video for you. Timebolt, WiseCut, AutoPod, Riverside.fm. Personally, the one I like to use is called Glingk. Let’s actually use it to cut our YouTube video. This is my raw footage here. All I have to do is launch Glingk and drag it into this box. Now, optionally, I can click the add script button and even add my script for better cutting. Then, I click on continue, select cut silences, and click on enhance and edit. Glingk now processes through the video, removes the silences, removes the bad takes, and in just 2 minutes, this is what I have. A clean-cut video that’s ready to be edited. Now, personally, I still end up going through it one more time just to make sure that all the cuts are all right and the pacing feels natural. But now that the video is cut up, it’s time to discover how Claude is going to edit it. With phase one complete, we move into phase two, which is planning. Before I explain how we created stunning animations using Claude, you first have to understand how a normal YouTube video is edited. We understand the visuals on the screen are the most important part of a YouTube video. They do two very important things. First, they help explain whatever you’re saying. When a viewer sees an animation, they visually understand the concept you’re explaining a lot better than when you only use words. Second, they actually really help with viewer retention. Having high production animations in a video helps keep the video feeling fresh. This is why when we go to edit a YouTube video, we actually sit down and plan out what needs to be shown on screen in order to make the video as easy as possible for the viewer and as fun to watch. All right, now that you understand why we plan our videos, let’s talk about how a high-level editor would do this so that you can understand how we can actually train Claude to edit long-form videos for us. As video editors, this is how we plan a video for maximum engagement and premium quality. First, this is the script of my video. It shows everything that we say in the video. The plan has to be built on this specifically. The first thing we need to do is analyze. Look through the script and pick out the sections where we want to have animations. Simply ask yourself, is this sentence I say
