Short Drama Edit & Final Cut

Assembles AI-generated short-drama shots into a finished film by first writing a reviewable edit decision list, then rendering with burned-in subtitles and normalized loudness.

What it does

  • Watches every clip in the episode's 制作成果 (production output) folder end to end and records each file's usable range before making any cut decisions.
  • Writes a standardized edit decision list (剪辑单.md): one ## CUT-... block per segment with source MOTION id, in/out/duration (must be self-consistent), the visual reason for each in and out point, sound handling, match-cut color notes, and subtitles.
  • Drives three commands in edit_tool.py: check (validates ranges, file existence, no overlapping reuse of the same frames, subtitle text found in the script), render (cut → concat → burn subtitles → normalize loudness), verify (measures the rendered film and reports numbers only).
  • Enforces that subtitles are the script's exact wording, not transcription output, and that technical success is never reported as quality approval.
  • Missing or unusable shots go into an "unused shots" line with the reason classified as missing file vs. unusable quality; re-shoots and script fixes are handed back to upstream skills.

Who it's for

  • Creators producing AI short-form drama who want cut decisions documented, auditable, and reproducible.
  • Users already running the zenstory-ai/drama-skills pipeline (write → image/video prompts → produce → edit → review).
  • Intermediate/advanced users comfortable with ffmpeg who want render results verified by measurement.

Examples

  1. "Edit the already-produced shots of EP001 into a final cut" → survey usable ranges, write the edit list, then render.
  2. Some shots not generated yet: "assemble what exists" → cuts only the continuous stretch, flags it as a partial version and lists the gaps.
  3. Need finer subtitle typography: run with --subtitles remotion (one-time Node install, much slower frame-by-frame rendering).

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/short-drama-edit folder from the GitHub repo zenstory-ai/drama-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/short-drama-edit/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/zenstory-ai/drama-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r drama-skills/skills/short-drama-edit ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Prerequisites: confirm ffmpeg -version, ffprobe -version and python3 --version all work. Without ffmpeg/ffprobe the render and verify commands fail by design (macOS: brew install ffmpeg; Ubuntu: sudo apt install ffmpeg).
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/zenstory-ai/drama-skills.git
  3. Install the skill: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r drama-skills/skills/short-drama-edit ~/.claude/skills/
    • Copy the sibling skills (write / image-prompts / video-prompts / produce / review) too if you want the whole pipeline.
  4. Optional self-test: python3 ~/.claude/skills/short-drama-edit/scripts/selftest.py
  5. Restart Claude Code, open your drama project folder, and invoke $short-drama-edit or ask "cut EP001's produced shots into a final film".
  6. Optional Remotion subtitles: follow assets/remotion/README.md to install the Node dependencies once if you need custom subtitle layout.
