What the editor does
At a very basic level, it’s a project you open in Claude Code, so instead of doing every cut and caption by hand, you tell Claude how you want the video edited and it builds the edit for you.
Built for the app you already use
It’s built for Mac and Windows, and for CapCut, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve Studio, plus Final Cut Pro on a Mac.
Two presets in the AI Made Easy look
It comes with a YouTube preset and an Instagram Reel preset, both in the AI Made Easy look, so you have a style to start from on your very first video.
Study a competitor
Give it a few of a competitor’s videos and the competitor-study skill turns them into a report on how they edit, plus a new preset you can use on your own videos.
Updates when you say update
When I release a new version, download it here, then say “update” inside the project and it brings in the new version while keeping your changes.
You need Claude Code on a paid plan and about 10 GB of free disk space before you start.

What’s in this version
The first AI Made Easy edition: a Claude Code project that takes a raw clip to a finished, exported video.
- Verified on: Mac with CapCut, from setup to a finished CapCut draft. The final export step and a fresh Mac install were not part of the test. Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve Studio, Final Cut Pro, Windows and Linux ship untested.
- Fixed before release: the editing tools work with ffmpeg 9, the version Homebrew installs today.
- Two presets in the AI Made Easy look (paper, ink, one cobalt accent; Archivo Black, Inter, Instrument Serif): presets/youtube/basic for long-form YouTube and presets/instagram/reel for Reels, TikTok and Shorts. Your brand kit replaces the look whenever you fill it in.
- Four editing apps: CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve Studio and Final Cut Pro. No app? Claude finishes the video in chat.
- Setup on Mac and Windows: say "set this up on my machine" and Claude installs the tools.
- HyperFrames (pinned to 0.8.105) renders the graphics and captions.
- CapCut tools in tools/capcut lay your graphics and sound effects on the CapCut timeline and check them.
- Competitor study: say "study this competitor" with 1 to 5 links or video files. You get a report on how they edit and a preset you can test on your own clip. It copies editing style only, never their footage, script or music.
- Music for reels in assets/music: one song per reel, three proposals to choose from, and a list of Jack's 13 core songs. No song files ship: add songs you have the rights to, or use Instagram's music picker.
- Sound effects: the original 150-sound library plus 62 added sounds (49 CC0, 13 CC BY). Credits and licenses: assets/sfx/CREDITS.md. Credit a CC BY sound wherever you publish a video that uses it.
- Optional extra: the explainer kit in tools/creator/explainer-kit, from the original package. Neither preset needs it.
- Check your download: compare its SHA-256 with the one on the download page. Mac: shasum -a 256 <zip>. Windows: certutil -hashfile <zip> SHA256.
- To update later, download the new zip from https://jackmandeville.ai/ai-video-editor and say "update".
- You need Claude Code on a paid plan and about 10 GB of free disk.
