Nate Herk's reusable video-editing kit for Codex and Claude Code. Bring your own footage. Cut dead air, review mistakes, plan the story, and build motion graphics with HyperFrames and GSAP.

Four finished videos made with this kit.

Made with the motion-showreel skill: 15 seconds, 1920x1080, 60fps, cut to a 129 BPM grid. The red scrubber dot travels through seven craft chapters and lands as the play button in the logo.

The three short-form videos below were created by Nate. Press Play on any video to watch it here in the README.

• 15 skills, mirrored for both assistants, with their helper scripts and references.
• 406 draft motion-graphics cards across two styles, with manifests, CSS tokens, and editable slots.
• Two scene templates: dark graph paper and a left glass popout.
• Transcription, silence cutting, mistake detection, reviewed cut rendering, transcript retiming, EDL review, beat-sync validation, and preflight tools.
• Short-form editing: reels, YouTube Shorts, hook and payoff planning, precise captions, moving B-roll, and audio review.
• 12 existing teaching projects preserved from the original student kit.
• A synthetic starter composition and editing fixture that need no footage or API key.

Nate uses ElevenLabs Scribe to transcribe and Kie.ai to generate videos and image assets. Bring your own API keys and credits when using those services. You can ask the assistant to use OpenAI Whisper or local Whisper instead, or supply an existing word-level transcript. Generated assets are optional.

The local starter needs no paid transcription or generation API. See the tools, accounts, and API-key guide for required tools, optional services, setup details, and prompts you can copy.
