edit-video

The one-command first-pass edit. Takes footage from raw video/, transcribes it, cuts retakes and dead air while keeping a natural vlog rhythm, keeps B-roll, and builds the timeline in the open DaVinci Resolve project (footage in bins, a copy of the creator's template timeline, markers, zoom, grade, audio normalize). Use for "/edit-video", "edit the new video", "do it", or follow-up changes to a cut.

Edit video (the whole flow)

The creator drops footage in raw video/, opens their Resolve project and says "do it". You run the whole thing and stop only for:

  • a frame-rate mismatch between footage and template timeline (ask; never choose for them),
  • a failure that happened twice (report the script's exact error and what they must fix).

Prerequisite: video-editor-setup is done (folders, scripts, CLAUDE.md).

1. Check

Run your doctor script. No video named? Pick what's in raw video/ without a finished build report; if several, ask which.

2. Ingest

Probe, read picture profiles, transcribe (verbatim, word timestamps), detect silences, write a manifest. Report anything odd:

  • picture profile guessed (no camera sidecar) → say so; never put a log LUT on non-log footage;
  • voice on one channel only (wireless receiver in stereo mode) → make sure the voice plays on both sides;
  • mixed frame rates; vertical clips (they will crop hard in a horizontal or 4:3 frame).

3. Cut

Follow rough-cut for what to keep (by word index) and vlog-pacing for how much air to leave. Clips with no speech are B-roll: follow broll. A subagent ("story editor") is a good fit: give it the video name and the skills; it writes the keep-list and the markers and runs the planner.

4. Build

Follow resolve-scripting. Order inside the build:

  1. footage into the footage bin;
  2. copy the template timeline into the timelines bin as "<video> - Transcript cut" (v2, v3… never overwrite) and empty the copy (it keeps the track FX chain);
  3. set a custom frame if asked (e.g. 4:3 2880x2160, footage scaled to fill with crop);
  4. lay the cut on V1/A1, alternate jump-cut zoom, colour B-roll pieces green;
  5. grade (log footage only);
  6. markers for spoken notes (pink);
  7. audio treatment last: Normalize Audio Level on A1 (see voice-and-audio).

5. Report and stop

Short: timeline name, raw → cut length, number of pieces, each retake removed (timestamp + a few words, translated if needed), each marker and what goes there, punch-ins, B-roll placed, anything guessed or unsure. Then stop. They watch it.

Follow-ups (they speak in plain words)

They sayYou do
"put back X", "cut 02:14 to 02:20"edit the keep-list, re-plan, rebuild as v2
"too choppy / pops"loosen pauses (see vlog-pacing), give scenes room, rebuild
"add music"music-and-sound
"captions"captions
"graphics / overlays"motion-overlays
"my voice sounds bad"voice-and-audio
"export settings?"youtube-export
"always …"change the global default, and add a dated line to CLAUDE.md

They will often fix things by hand in the timeline you built (trims, deleted clips). Always re-read the timeline from Resolve before the next step (B-roll positions, what they deleted) and never put back what they removed.

How to find, watch and cut B-roll in a vlog - clips with no speech placed by time between talking clips, chosen by their action and story, not a fixed length. Use when footage mixes talking clips (A-roll) and silent clips, or when the creator says the B-roll pacing feels wrong.
