Give Cuerex a talking-head video, format, preset, language, and editing mode.
HOW TO USE
Use Cuerex as an AI video editing pipeline
Cuerex is a Claude Code plugin that turns a source video into structured editing data and then renders the finished MP4 with Remotion. Run the slash commands in order, inspect the generated data, and rerun only the stages that need changes.
Cuts, captions, images, clips, sound effects, and output settings are stored as TypeScript data.
Export to 16:9, 9:16, or 1:1 without overwriting previous render versions.
QUICKSTART
Run the skills in order
Each command writes data into the generated Remotion project. The source video is not modified.
/cuerex-init Initialize the project
Answer questions about preset, project name, source path, language, diarization, format, and edit mode.
Creates project-config.json and copies the Remotion template./cuerex-transcribe Transcribe the source
Runs Whisper large-v3 and optionally diarization to create speech segments with timestamps.
Writes transcript.json./cuerex-transcript-fix Normalize wording
Uses dictionary and LLM passes to fix names, notation, mistakes, and repeated wording.
Writes transcript_fixed.json and grows typo_dict.json./cuerex-cut Choose the cut structure
Combines VAD and LLM reasoning to keep natural pauses while removing unwanted sections.
Writes src/data/cutData.ts./cuerex-subtitles Generate captions and scene titles
Splits text, chooses telop templates, and assigns animations on the edited timeline.
Writes telopData.ts and segmentTitleData.ts./cuerex-image-gen Prepare visual inserts
Finds moments where diagrams, screenshots, thumbnails, or explanatory visuals help the edit.
Writes insertImageData.ts and public/images/*./cuerex-clip-gen Add motion clips when useful
Optional step: author HTML/CSS/JS motion graphics and render them with HeyGen HyperFrames.
Writes insertClipData.ts and public/clips/*./cuerex-se Place sound effects
Maps scene changes, caption reveals, and key beats to sound-effect timing.
Writes src/data/seData.ts./cuerex-render Preview or render
Open Remotion Studio for review or render the final video.
Creates out/vN/final_vN.mp4 with data snapshots.FEATURES
Use the optional features when the edit needs them
Cuerex keeps the renderer shared and moves project-specific decisions into data, presets, and edit modes.
Format-specific defaults
Use biz-youtube, insta-reels, or square-feed presets to adapt captions, pacing, layout, and safe areas.
16:9, 9:16, and 1:1
Switch output format through project-config.json and regenerate from the same editing data.
Motion clips
Use /cuerex-clip-gen only where motion improves understanding, such as diagrams, intros, or process explainers.
Solo or compose
Use solo for one full-frame source, or compose for multi-source layouts such as screen capture, PiP, interview, or dual camera.
Review and edit ops
Review in cuerex-editor, write timestamped instructions, dry-run edit ops, then apply only the approved data changes.
Safe renders
Each render goes to out/vN with the MP4 and the data snapshot used for that version.
PRICING NOTE
AI agents and editing tools are separate
Claude Code, Codex, and similar AI agents are cloud-based external tools. If you already have access to those tools, Cuerex itself can be used without an additional fee. The AI Agent Plus editing tool is not free.
