The first time you open claude-video, it may ask for a few paths or settings. This is normal.
Set up these items if the app asks:
- Your input folder for source clips
- Your output folder for finished videos
- A working folder for temporary files
- Your preferred language for captions
- Your default export format
If the app includes a settings panel, use it to set:
- Video quality
- Frame size
- Caption style
- Text color
- Output bitrate
For stock footage promos, choose a text color that stands out from the video. The app supports contrast-aware text, which helps keep words easy to read.
Use claude-video to cut clips, trim edges, and arrange scenes. This helps when you want to turn long footage into a short video.
Convert video files from one format to another. This is useful when a file will not play on your device or when you need a smaller export.
Add captions to videos so viewers can follow along without sound. This is helpful for social clips, tutorials, and demos.
Analyze clips to understand what is in the video. This can help with sorting footage, finding scenes, or planning edits.
Generate video with Veo from inside the workflow. This can help when you want to create new clips without starting from scratch.
Build short promos from stock footage and overlay text that stays easy to read on bright or dark scenes.
Create short vertical videos for social platforms. This is useful for clips, highlights, and fast edits.
