Long video in.
Vertical clips out.
A free Claude Code skill that turns a podcast or talking-head video into edited 9:16 clips: it picks the moments that stand on their own, reframes on whoever is speaking, adds captions with highlighted key words, punch-in zooms and levelled audio, then checks every clip.
Clipper was made by HubPost and is shared under the MIT licence. This copy has a few tweaks of mine.
Install in 3 steps
1
Unzip into your skills folder
So that .claude/skills/clipper/SKILL.md exists.
2
Say “set this up for me”
Claude Code checks your computer and installs what's missing. The speech model downloads once (about 500 MB).
3
Say “clip this video”
Paste a link or a file path. Say “go” for the 5 best clips, 20 to 60 seconds each.
Good to know
- Runs on your own computer. No API keys, no paid services.
- Needs Claude Code on a paid Claude plan (Pro is enough).
- Built for Mac first. On Windows, ask Claude to adapt the setup step.
- Only clip videos you own or have permission to use.
