2 prompts to edit your first video with AI.

Set up the Herk Edit Kit for me: https://github.com/nateherkai/herk-edit-kit

1. Check what's already on my computer, then install what's missing: Node.js 22 or newer, Git, FFmpeg (with ffprobe), and Chrome. If an install needs my computer password or an admin prompt, stop and tell me exactly what to type or click.

2. Clone the kit into my Documents folder, then run its setup and tests as described in the README.

3. I want to use only free tools. For transcription, use HyperFrames' built-in local transcription (npx hyperframes transcribe), which runs Whisper on my computer. Run one short test so the model downloads now.

4. For background music and sound effects, install the HyperFrames media-use skill and the HeyGen CLI. Help me sign in to my free HeyGen account with OAuth (heygen auth login --oauth), not an API key. Then check it with:
npx hyperframes media-use resolve --doctor

5. To clean my audio to studio quality, I want to use Descript's Studio Sound. Show me the Descript connector so I can click Connect and sign in to my free Descript account. Then check that you can see the Descript tools. (If you can't show a Connect button, tell me where to add it.)

6. If the Claude in Chrome extension isn't set up, tell me how to add it, so you can watch style videos on sites that need my login (like Facebook or Instagram).

7. Skip all other paid services (ElevenLabs, Kie.ai, OpenAI API). Ask me before anything that could cost money.

8. Run every command yourself and explain each step in simple words.

9. When you're done, render the kit's demo video to prove everything works, and tell me the exact folder the kit is in.

[/short-form-edit or /edit-video]

Edit my video from start to finish in one go. Use the video and script I attached.

- Video: [drag your video file here]
- Script: [drag your script file here]
- Language I speak in it: [English / Taglish / Filipino]
- Style reference: [paste the link to a video whose style you like, or write: use my saved style]
- Format: [vertical 9:16 for reels / landscape 16:9 for YouTube]
- B-roll folder (optional): [drag a folder of your own clips and screenshots here]

For the style reference, watch the video at that link and copy its style (captions, graphics, colors, pacing), not its content. If you can't open it directly, open it in your built-in browser, and if that doesn't work, use my Chrome browser. Play it and take screenshots as it plays to study the style. Don't download it or use any of its footage. Save the style in the kit's style library so I can reuse it next time.

You have my approval for every step: the cuts, the plan, the graphics, the music, and the export. Don't stop to ask me. Make the best choices yourself and keep going until the final video is exported.

First, clean my audio with Descript Studio Sound: upload the video to a new Descript project, apply Studio Sound only (no other edits), download the clean audio, check that its length matches, and put it back on my video. Use this version from here on. If Descript isn't available, use a free FFmpeg noise-reduction pass instead.

Then transcribe locally with HyperFrames' built-in transcription. Cut the silences, long pauses, and mistakes, keeping the last good take of any line I repeated (my script helps you spot those).

Add captions that match what I actually said, including ad-libs. Use my script only to spell names, brands, and terms correctly. Add motion graphics and B-roll. For B-roll, use my own clips first, then screenshots of public websites I mention, then free stock footage from Pexels or Pixabay (search them in your built-in browser, then download the clip file). Don't use anything paid. Add background music and sound effects from HeyGen's free media-use library.

Start the live preview right away and give me the link. When it's done, check it yourself, export the final video in high quality (full-resolution MP4, --quality high), and tell me where the file is.
