Spec work for PlanetScale. I took their 63-minute panel on AI and security, filmed on one wide, static camera, and turned it into a six-minute YouTube cut and three vertical shorts. I prompted Claude to make it as a really quick and unrefined side project using a tool I use for my own course.
The finished cut, 6:14. Each speaker gets a close-up, and chapter cards, quotes, numbers and pictures land on the points they make.
The raw footage: the full 63-minute panel as it was filmed, one wide shot of the whole panel.
Three shorts from the same panel. Each speaker is reframed from the wide shot to a vertical close-up and cut out of the background, with picture cards popping in on the words they illustrate.
How I made it: I transcribed the panel word by word with Whisper, picked the strongest moments from the transcript, then built the close-ups, cut-outs, cards and captions with my own Python and ffmpeg tools.
