How the agent did it
- Supply the six-minute match recording and desired output formats.
- Inspect game frames and audio to identify turns, shots and score changes.
- Build a vertical ClipForge project with selected clips and speed choices.
The developer of ClipForge and the 8 Pool game gave Claude Code a six-minute recording of a race-to-three match. The requested outcome was a YouTube Short and Instagram Reel with consistent English commentary. The attached result is a 58-second vertical video according to the Reddit media metadata.
Claude sampled frames through FFmpeg, read the game's turn indicators, scores and foul notices, and used sound to distinguish aiming from shots. It selected about 25 clips, accelerated action to 1.5 times speed and kept winning eight-ball shots at normal speed. Through ClipForge's MCP server it created the vertical project, captions, music and framing.
The agent generated commentary with Google's Chirp 3 HD voice, transcribed the speech back to check the words and synchronised captions. Timeline-frame inspection caught a commentary line occurring during the opponent's action, which it moved. FFmpeg handled analysis and audio mixing, and the agent edited the project file directly once to combine caption lines. The developer supplied a couple of replies and restarted ClipForge when it stuck, so the claimed absence of manual editing does not mean no human intervention. This is the tool creator's promotional firsthand report, with no independent benchmark. Its concrete result is a narrated match edit with an observed timing correction.
