This is how I make videos now
This is how I make my videos now. Claude Code does the editing with me in Tandem, a video editor I vibe coded just for me, and we go backwards and forwards on it like a vibe coding session but for video. Up until a few weeks ago every video on this channel was edited by hand in Filmora, and I don't think I could go back now. So for most of this video I edit THIS video, live, with Claude. The first pass, the B-roll, the section cards, a cartoon, the lot, mistakes and all. Grab yourself a lovely cup of tea and let's dive in. Tandem is up on GitHub and MIT licensed. I don't take issues or pull requests on it, so point your agent at it and make it your own (Mac only for now): https://github.com/mikecann/tandem The rest of my personal apps live under Mikerosoft, including Voice Type, the speech to text tool I mention: https://mikerosoft.app https://mikerosoft.app/tools/voice-type I'm really curious, what's one app you use every day that you'd love your own version of? Let me know down in the comments.
