Documentation

Skills video cut

Uses the Descript connector (connect it once in Claude under Settings, Connectors, Descript). Claude makes the rough cut; the coach does fine edits in Descript by deleting words from the transcript.

House style (confirm with the coach and the videographer)

  • Cut filler words and pauses over 1.5 seconds.
  • Start at the first useful sentence. No "okay, so".
  • Studio Sound on.
  • Captions on, Cinch caption style.
  • Lower third with the skill name in the first 5 seconds.
  • Cinch logo end card.

Steps

  1. Find the footage. The videographer drops raw files in the shared Google Drive folder; import with the Drive import, or by URL.
  2. Create or open the Descript project named after the skill.
  3. Ask Underlord (prompt_project_agent) for the house style above in one instruction, plus anything the coach asked for ("cut everything before I say 'the drill'").
  4. Tell the coach the project is ready to review in Descript, with a short list of what was cut.
  5. When they're happy, publish a share link and export the transcript as Markdown for the skill page (export_transcript). Hand both to the skill-author skill if a skill draft is next.

Notes

  • Imports use media minutes and Underlord uses AI credits on the coach's Descript plan.
  • No YouTube links as sources.
  • Finished video comes out through publish, as a share link.
