Free Claude skill

Edit your reels
with Claude.

By Kelly Hartley · Wise Women Use AI · October 2026

You've got the ideas. You've even filmed them. Then the editing takes an hour, the captions never look right, and the video sits in your camera roll instead of on your feed.

The Reel Starter is a free Claude skill that does the editing for you. Film yourself talking, type edit my latest video, and get back a finished reel: pauses and ums cut, captions building word by word in your brand colours, and a look that's yours. No CapCut, no extra subscriptions.

What you get, free

Nine looks. Your colours.

Everything a talking-head reel needs to stop the scroll, done for you by Claude on your own computer. Here is what the free version does.

1

Pauses and ums, gone

It cuts the dead air and the filler sounds, so your reel moves at the pace people actually watch.

2

Three hook styles

A big word behind your head, a clean tablet, or a line that types itself out.

3

Three caption styles

Clean tablets, big and bold, or elegant and editorial. Words appear as you say them.

4

Your brand colours

Give it two or three colours and everything matches: hooks, captions and highlights.

5

Three filters

Cinematic background blur (even on the front camera with a teleprompter), vintage camcorder, or warm film.

6

Looks that stay saved

Save the look you love by name, and every reel after that starts from it.

The same talking-head clip shown nine ways: three hook styles, three caption styles and three filters

See it on your own face

Choose by looking, not guessing.

Say show me my options and Claude draws every hook, caption style and filter on your own clip, like this one of mine. Pick what feels like you.

What you need: a Mac, and Claude Pro (Claude Code) or ChatGPT Plus (Codex). Setup is one message you paste in, and it takes about ten minutes the first time.

This is for you if...

· You film reels, then leave them sitting in your camera roll
· Editing in CapCut eats an hour you don't have
· You read from a teleprompter, so your phone's cinematic mode is off the table
· You want your brand colours, not someone else's template
· You already pay for Claude and want it doing more of the work
· You'd rather be the face of your business than its video editor

Questions

Before you download

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You paste one message into Claude and it sets everything up. After that, you edit a reel by typing edit my latest video.

What does it cost?

The Reel Starter is free. You need a paid Claude plan with Claude Code (Pro is enough) or ChatGPT Plus with Codex. There are no other subscriptions or paid add-ons.

Does it work on Windows?

It's built and tested for Mac. Windows isn't supported yet.

Where does my video go?

Nowhere. Claude edits it on your own computer, and the finished reel lands in a folder on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded to an editing service.

What's the difference between the free version and the full Reel Studio?

The free version cuts pauses and filler sounds and gives you nine looks in your colours. The full Reel Studio, inside The Architect Advantage, also removes retakes, shows you a storyboard before it edits, and adds checklists, zooms and more looks.

Film it. Say "edit my latest video". Post it.
