# Claude Code skills for video editing and motion graphics

Claude Code skills that edit talking-head video, cut silences, add captions and build motion graphics and voiceovers, for creators and small teams.

These Claude Code skills cover the path from raw footage to a published video. If you record to camera, [edit a video from start to finish](https://skills.sgomez.dev/en/s/edit-video.md) handles the whole edit, and you can work in steps with [remove silences](https://skills.sgomez.dev/en/s/cut-silences.md) and [cut mistakes and retakes](https://skills.sgomez.dev/en/s/cut-mistakes.md). For social platforms, [pull vertical clips out of a long video](https://skills.sgomez.dev/en/s/shorts.md) or [turn footage into a reel or a Short](https://skills.sgomez.dev/en/s/short-form-edit.md) saves you the manual cutting.

If you need animation, [create motion graphics](https://skills.sgomez.dev/en/s/motion-graphics.md) builds short pieces with no narration, [make an explainer video with no presenter](https://skills.sgomez.dev/en/s/faceless-explainer.md) starts from an article or a set of notes, and [write videos with Remotion](https://skills.sgomez.dev/en/s/scaffold--remotion.md) is there when you would rather code them. To keep the footage untouched, [add captions](https://skills.sgomez.dev/en/s/embedded-captions.md) places them from the transcript.

Sound has its place too: [generate voiceovers and sound effects with ElevenLabs](https://skills.sgomez.dev/en/s/elevenlabs.md), [create background music with ACE-Step](https://skills.sgomez.dev/en/s/acestep.md) and [convert, resize and compress with ffmpeg](https://skills.sgomez.dev/en/s/utils--ffmpeg.md). Each skill is invoked with a sentence describing what you want, and it works on your own files.
