The first version was wrong, so he told it; it looked up the real mascot and rebuilt the scene. That was his only correction. He rendered 960 frames at 2160x2700 into a 32-second video.

Retakes, Dead Air, B-roll and Captions Handled: Claude Code as a First-Pass Video Editor in DaVinci Resolve

A creator packaged the method he uses to have Claude Code do the first edit of YouTube vlogs and classes in DaVinci Resolve Studio as a set of free skills. You drop raw footage in a folder and say "edit the new video". Claude cuts retakes and dead air, keeps the B-roll, adds music, writes clean one-line captions, adds brand motion graphics and helps with the YouTube export, while you make the taste calls. Raw footage is never modified, it only adds new timelines in Resolve, and every piece of feedback you give is saved so the next video starts smarter. The repo passed 240 stars in its first two days.
