You do not need a complicated editing timeline to make a talking-head video feel polished. With Claude Code and the video-effects skill, you can describe the edit you want and let Claude apply captions, movement and visual effects to your clips.
This guide gives you all 40 effect commands from my reel, plus the exact prompts to combine them. Start with the 10 commands in the video, then use the other 30 when you want more options.
