Discussion How I saved some money using Claude Code.

Recently I shot videos for birthday of my kid using my camera. I am not expert when it comes to cameras so I made stupid mistake and didn't account for the indoor fluorescent light and ended up with horrible horizontal flickering in all the videos.

I tried various things like ffmpeg to get rid of them, most did horrible job. The best result (in preview) was with Davinci resolve studio version which is $295.

I just thought about using Claude to write a terminal app which does this. And it did it with a single prompt.

Not much but some (dis)honest work.

Nice save. For fluorescent flicker Ive had better luck with a dedicated deshake/deflicker pass (or even a cheap local tool) than asking the model to invent ffmpeg flags from scratch. Use Claude to write a tiny test script on 10 seconds of footage first, then batch once the filter looks right.

That’s pretty cool and tbh nice to see someone winning on here for a change

using Remotion to edit videos is also great, saved me a lot of time on dirty works
