Forget After Effects: Claude + CapCut Is the Only Editing Stack You Need

Claude can now edit video inside CapCut - color grading, motion graphics and animation from a text prompt. One raw clip, a full cinematic edit, zero After Effects. 👉 https://higgsfield.ai/s/sanjichien-sa... Everything here starts as a prompt. Claude generates a .cube LUT you drop straight into CapCut, an SRT file that turns into a premium counting animation without a single keyframe, and Remotion-powered motion graphics built inside Claude Code. You'll also see how to connect the Higgsfield AI MCP directly in Claude and use it to generate extra visual effects — falling money over the counter and a Civilization-style animated route across the map. The full setup is covered: installing Claude and CapCut, Node.js, Remotion, bypass permissions, and rendering motion graphics with a transparent background so they layer straight over your footage. If you've ever bought After Effects templates or burned two hours on a simple explainer animation, this workflow will change how you edit. Every prompt used in the video is linked below.
