i’ve been working on this side project that needs a ton of short videos, product demos social clips explainers etc and i finally found a workflow that doesnt make me want to pull my hair out so figured id share. claude code handles all the orchestration stuff which iss scripting, file management, naming conventions, organizing everything into campaign folders, basically the entire backbone of my pipeline. i have a CLAUDE(.)md with my project structure and it just gets what i need without me overexplaining every little thing. for actual video generation i bounced around a LOT, tried runway first but it got expensive real quick for the volume i was doing, pika was cool for simpler things but i needed lip sync and face swap for localized versions of the same clips and it wasnt really cutting it there. ended up landing on a mix, been using magic hour for lip sync and image to video since they have a REST API with python and node SDKs which made it super easy to plug into my pipeline, hedra for some talking head stuff and capcut when i just need a quick edit and dont want to overthink it. having claude code write the scripts that call these APIs and then organize all the outputs has been weirdly satisfying lol no single tool does everything perfectly, i still use ffmpeg for stitching clips and canva for thumbnails but having claude code as the brain tying it all together genuinely saved me so much time its kind of ridiculous. anyone else here doing creative or video workflows with claude code? feels like most conversation here is about pure dev stuff but theres so much potential for content automation, would love to hear what other people are pairing with it submitted by /u/Healthy-Challenge911
