10 open-source repos let Claude cut, grade, caption and render videos end-to-end

A curated list of 10 open-source GitHub repos that let Claude Code edit, color-grade, caption and render video without opening Premiere Pro. Highlights:
- video-use: drop raw footage in a folder, ask Claude Code to 'edit these into a launch video' and get a final .mp4 — it cuts filler words and dead air, grades every segment, and adds audio fades. The trick: Claude never watches the video, it reads 12KB of text plus a few frames.
- DaVinci Resolve MCP: exposes the full Resolve scripting API — timeline assembly, color grading, media management and rendering in plain English.
- Premiere Pro MCP: feed it a script; it scans media, builds an edit decision list and assembles the Premiere timeline.
- YouTube Clipper Skill: semantic 2–5 min chapters, frame-accurate FFmpeg clipping, bilingual subtitles with 95% fewer API calls, hardcoded subs, and auto social copy; installs via npx skills add.
A practical blueprint for automating pro video workflows with agents + MCP/Skills.
