## What it 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.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **claude-code-templates**
```bash
npx claude-code-templates@latest --agent ffmpeg-clip-team/video-editor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/agents/video-editor.md` — For all projects use ~/.claude/agents/. Claude delegates by the description field or an @-mention

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.codex/agents/video-editor.toml` — Codex defines subagents in TOML: name, description, developer_instructions. Move the Markdown text into developer_instructions by hand. For all projects use ~/.codex/agents/

### Cursor

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/agents/video-editor.md` — Cursor also reads .claude/agents/

## When to use it
- 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
- 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
