video-editor — Claude Code subagent: what it does, how to install
Video production subagent using FFmpeg for clip trimming and color grading. Automates multi-track timelines and format exports.
npx claude-code-templates@latest --agent ffmpeg-clip-team/video-editorWhat video-editor does
The video-editor subagent handles video post-production tasks directly within Claude Code. It constructs FFmpeg routines for trimming footage, syncing audio tracks, and applying frame-accurate cuts. To inspect media and run scripts, the agent utilizes Bash, Read, and Write tools.
The workflow follows non-destructive editing practices to retain source clip fidelity. It generates transition parameters, adjusts visual overlays, and creates LUT profiles for grading. Without ffmpeg installed, nothing will render. All processing operations rely on that console utility.
What it helps with
- assemble video cuts with frame-accurate precision
- synchronize separate audio feeds with multiple video tracks
- generate LUT profiles and color correction parameters
- configure batch export pipelines across target formats
Example prompts for the agent
- Assemble the raw clips in the footage folder and sync the external audio feed
- Apply a color grading LUT to final_cut.mp4 and configure export settings
- Trim intro.mp4 to match the beat and create a smooth transition into clip2.mp4
