Interactive longform-to-shortform video creator powered by [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code). Extracts viral-ready vertical clips from long videos using Claude as the intelligent orchestrator with Remotion-rendered premium animated captions.

How It Works

Claude Code guides you through a 10-step interactive pipeline:

Preflight - Validates input video, checks disk space, detects GPU
Transcribe - GPU-accelerated transcription with word-level timestamps (faster-whisper)
Detect Content - Auto-classifies: talking-head, screen recording, or podcast
Analyze - Claude reads the full transcript and scores 8-12 candidate segments
Present - Shows candidates in a formatted table with scores, hooks, and rationale
Approve - You pick segments, adjust timecodes, choose caption style and platform
Snap Boundaries - Aligns cut points to word boundaries, sentence endings, and audio silences
Prepare - Extracts clips (FFmpeg stream copy) and computes reframe coordinates
Render - Remotion renders 1080x1920 vertical video with animated captions
Export - Platform-optimized encoding (YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels)

Demo

Features

Claude-powered segment scoring - 5-dimension rubric (hook strength, coherence, emotion, value density, payoff) with weighted scoring. No heuristic keyword matching - Claude understands narrative arcs.
3 caption styles - Bold (ALL CAPS, yellow highlights), Bounce (bouncy spring, rotating colors), Clean (minimal fade-in)
Cursor tracking - For screen recordings, detects mouse cursor via frame differencing and smoothly pans the crop to follow it
Audio-aware boundary snapping - Never cuts mid-word or mid-sentence. Extends to natural sentence endings a
