Edit a video with Claude in 7 steps
Install a free video skill, write a one-page style guide, put your footage in one folder, and let Claude edit and render it on your computer.
Checked on 15 Oct 2026. Tools change fast, so the official page always wins if it says something different.
What you need first
Step by step
Open Claude Code
Make a new folder for this video and open Claude Code there.
Install HyperFrames by HeyGen
Its tagline: "Write HTML. Render video. Built for agents." These are the commands from its README. Run them one at a time. HyperFrames on GitHub
claude plugin marketplace add heygen-com/hyperframes
claude plugin install hyperframes@hyperframes
Write a one-page style guide
Tell Claude how your videos should look. Fill in this template and save it in the folder as style-guide.md.
# Style guide Fonts: headings [font], body text [font] Colors: background [color], text [color], highlight [color] Captions: [one word at a time / full lines], [position on screen], [size] Animations: [calm / lively], things to avoid: [list] Video size: [vertical 9:16 / wide 16:9]
Put your footage in one folder
Put the raw video and any images in the same folder.
Ask Claude to edit it, then let it render
It renders on your own computer, so there's no per-render fee.
Edit this video following my style guide (style-guide.md).
Not happy? Ask for changes
Say what to change, and it renders again.
Make the captions bigger and cut the first two seconds.
