Edit Videos From Your Terminal With video-use, the Open-Source Skill for Claude Code

An installable Agent Skill from the browser-use team that lets coding agents cut, edit, and generate video, including Manim animations

Edit Videos From Your Terminal With video-use

By the end of this guide, you'll have video-use (github.com/browser-use/video-use, 3.9k stars, 561 forks, actively maintained) installed as a Claude Code skill, so you can edit existing clips and generate Manim animations by describing the edit in your terminal instead of opening a video editor. The repo ships a SKILL.md and install.md, which packages it as an installable Agent Skill, plus a skills/manim-video folder for programmatic animation and math-style visualisations.

Who This Is For

• Marketers and creators who already work in Claude Code and want video edits done the same way

• Anyone producing short clips, explainers, or data visualisations who wants to skip a timeline editor

• Teams using the browser-use tooling who want its video counterpart

What You'll Have

• The video-use skill installed in Claude Code

• Terminal-driven edits of existing clips: trims, cuts, and assembled sequences described in plain language

• Generated Manim animations through the bundled manim-video skill

• A repeatable way to turn a script into a finished clip without leaving the terminal

What You'll Need

• Claude Code with skills enabled

• The video-use repository (github.com/browser-use/video-use) and its install.md

• Python with the project dependencies from pyproject.toml, and an .env based on .env.example

• A source video or a script for a generated animation
