# How to Merge Video Segments with Claude

Claude assembles multi-segment videos through conversational editing in your terminal. Specify your clip order, define transition types between each pair, and finalize the output through iterative dialogue. Claude handles audio normalization and transition timing as part of the conversation, producing polished merged videos without timeline-based editing.

## Setup

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

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Provide your clips: "Merge these 4 video clips in order: intro.mp4, demo.mp4, testimonial.mp4, outro.mp4"
3. Claude calls edit_footage to assemble the clips with transitions
4. Add polish: "Add a 1-second crossfade between each segment"
5. Finalize: "Run finalize_video to export the merged video at 1080p"

## Example Prompt

```
Merge these video clips into one video: intro (5s), product-demo (2min), customer-testimonial (45s), and CTA-outro (10s). Add 0.5-second crossfade transitions between each. Export at 1080p.
```

## Tips

- Specify transition types between each pair of clips for a polished result
- Ask Claude to normalize audio levels across clips before merging
- Use finalize_video at the end to ensure proper encoding and quality
