What does video-use do?
video-use is a set of two skills from browser-use for editing real footage by conversation, with a bundled manim-video skill for math-style animations. It transcribes every clip word by word through ElevenLabs Scribe, packs the transcripts into takes_packed.md, and reads them to place cuts on word boundaries and silences. Before touching the edit it proposes a plain-English strategy and waits for your yes. It then writes edl.json, grades color, builds overlay animations in parallel sub-agents, burns subtitles last, renders final.mp4 into an edit folder, checks every cut and the loudness itself, and logs each session in project.md.
