One CLI Tool Replaced My Video Editor
I built a CLI tool called OneClip that automates my entire YouTube production pipeline — from recording to publishing. No video editor needed. Just FFmpeg, whisper.cpp, and Claude Code orchestrating everything.
OneClip wraps FFmpeg's complexity into simple commands: cut, compress, transcribe, silence-remove, and thumbnail generation. Combined with an AI pipeline in Claude Code, I go from raw recording to a fully described, titled, and thumbnailed YouTube video without ever opening Premiere or DaVinci.
