# How to Create Highlight Reels with Claude

Claude turns highlight reel creation into a conversational editing session in your terminal. Provide your timestamp list, specify transitions between clips, and iterate on the compilation through natural dialogue. Claude can add title cards between segments and normalize audio levels as part of the multi-step conversation, producing a polished reel without timeline editing.

## Setup

claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Provide timestamps: "Extract highlights from this webinar at 5:30, 18:00, 34:15, and 52:00"
3. Claude extracts and assembles the segments using edit_footage
4. Add transitions: "Add quick crossfades between each highlight"
5. Finalize: "Export the highlight reel at 1080p with finalize_video"

## Example Prompt

```
Create a 3-minute highlight reel from this 90-minute conference talk. Extract the key moments at 4:00-5:30, 12:15-14:00, 28:30-30:45, 45:00-47:00, and 67:00-69:30. Add brief crossfades between clips.
```

## Tips

- Provide timestamps for the most impactful moments to guide the extraction
- Ask Claude to add title cards between segments identifying each topic
- Create both a short (1-minute) social cut and a longer (5-minute) YouTube cut
