Claude Video Editor
Prompt-driven editing in Adobe Premiere Pro 2026. Claude transcribes footage, decides the cuts, builds motion graphics as HTML, and assembles everything on a real timeline.
Start a session
Every time, before asking Claude to touch Premiere:
Open Premiere Pro with your project.
Window > Extensions > MCP Bridge (CEP)Temp directory:
/tmp/premiere-mcp-bridgeClick Start Bridge.
Without this, Premiere tool calls hang. It is the single most common failure.
Then, before any build step, confirm the sequence format:
node scripts/check-sequence.mjsIt exits non-zero on anything that is not 29.97 / 1080×1920 and refuses to continue. A 30 fps timeline against 29.97 source drifts invisibly until playback, and the MCP tools that claim to fix frame rate and resolution are no-ops.
Then open this folder in Claude and prompt in plain language:
Rough cut
/path/to/raw.mp4and put it on the timeline. Cut it hard — only the essential parts.
Make a lower third that says "Tom Martell / Project Manager" — stepped 8fps feel, warm paper texture, gold accent. Put it over the clip at 00:12.
