The rulebook, prompts and skills I use to have Claude Code edit my YouTube videos in DaVinci Resolve. Every note you give becomes a written rule, so you only give it once.
You tell it the cut clipped a word. It fixes it. Three videos later it clips words again, because the note lived in a chat that's gone. Editing with AI isn't slow because the AI is bad. It's slow because you keep teaching it the same things.
This system keeps every decision in one file Claude reads before it touches your timeline, and updates after every round of feedback.
Paste the setup prompt. Claude asks about your editor, your recordings and what you hate in AI edits, then writes your rulebook.
Voiceover cut, screen recordings, graphics and sound, always on a duplicate timeline. Every clip is checked by looking at its frames. Your cut is never touched.
After each review, one prompt turns your notes into dated rules. The next video starts from them. A scorecard shows whether you're giving fewer notes.
A few of the notes I gave Claude, and what each one turned into. The full list is in the pack, so you can skip these mistakes.
The Editing Defaults template Claude fills in with you: workflow, tracks, colours, zooms, sound, export.
Setup interview, each editing pass, flag-only review, notes into rules, learn from your own edits.
The one-pass talking-head edit with its QC gate, Resolve scripting rules and the motion design skill.
Motion graphics rendered from code at 4K60, with Claude critiquing its own frames before you see them.
The full edit, day by day: what went wrong, the feedback, the rule it became, and the tech stack.
My own rulebook after a month of edits, change log included. Copy the rules you agree with.
