BashCutEach skill is one stage of an edit. Say the prompt, or type the slash command in Claude Code or Codex.
Installs BashCut's recommended plugins (captions, voice, silence markers, AI Editor) and checks that each one works.
/bc:setup
The engine behind every edit, from raw footage to export. It names the right skill for each stage and stops at your gates.
Edit these clips into a 60-second vertical vlog. Show me the plan before you cut.
Looks at everything before promising anything: inventory, contact sheets, shot descriptions, silent audio, broken files, mixed orientation.
Survey the clips in this project. Tell me what scenes I have, what is missing and anything broken.
Measures a creator's editing style (pacing, shots, hook, text, color, sound) and turns it into presets and rules, without copying content.
Study the pacing and text style of this reference video and save it as a look and text presets I can reuse.
Builds the first cut by quote: lines resolved to word-exact ranges, kept as selects with reasons. Also turns a long podcast or stream into shorts.
Make a rough cut from the interview. Keep only the strongest answers, in story order, and tell me why you kept each one.
Gives the cut rhythm by measurement: a beat grid or word edges, shot lengths per section, punch-ins sized from zoom headroom.
The cut feels flat. Match the cuts to the music beat and add punch-ins where the speaker makes a point.
Decides what the viewer sees on every line of a talking video: speaker, punch-in, B-roll, icon, text, graphic or nothing.
For each line of the script, decide what appears on screen and write the plan before placing anything.
Writes lines that fit your speaking rate, prepares text for TTS, checks every take against its text and re-takes in place. Also dubbing.
Write a 30-second voiceover for this cut, generate it with my voice, and check every line was read correctly.
Balances sound by measurement: levels per role, fades, a music bed under the voice, SFX at cuts, loudness per output.
The music is too loud under my voice. Fix the mix and report the loudness numbers before and after.
Grades by measurement: probes the footage, tries looks or a generated LUT on real frames, checks for damage and backs off.
Give this a warm cinematic look. Test it on real frames and back off if the highlights clip.
Chooses when an effect earns its place, then makes it natively: 39 transitions, text In/Out, punch-in, Ken Burns, speed ramps, freeze, reverse, reframe.
Add a speed ramp on the drone shot and a whip transition into the city section. Leave every other cut hard.
Finds and places pictures your footage lacks: stock photo and video, animated emoji, logos, icons, illustration sets in one style.
Find a few clean B-roll shots for the sentence about city traffic and place them over my voice.
Captions from speech or a script, word timing, SRT import, word-by-word styles, titles, place and chapter cards, Vietnamese fonts, safe area.
Add word-by-word captions in a highlight style, plus a hook title in the first two seconds.
Designed, animated graphics over footage: stat and checklist cards, counters, lower thirds, diagrams, kinetic type.
Turn the three numbers I say in the intro into rolling counters over the footage.
Reviews the edit before export as a capped loop: measure, look, judge as a viewer, fix and prove each fix. An independent critic reads it too.
Review the draft like a viewer would. Fix what you can prove is wrong and list the rest.
Makes a missing preset, effect, transition, look, sticker or sound, and keeps what is worth reusing after an edit.
Save the caption style and the look from this edit to my library so I can reuse them.
Turns problems you hit into lasting fixes: lessons, preferences, project facts and project skills, so the same mistake does not come back.
I had to redo the captions twice. Record what went wrong so you get it right next time.
