For
Vyra for Claude users: edit real footage by describing the edit
Vyra connects to Claude through MCP, so the Claude subscription you already pay for can see your footage, cut it, caption it, and build motion graphics.
By Sulan Zhang, co-founder of Vyra · Updated 2026-09-24
If you already pay for Claude, you're most of the way there. Connect it to Vyra through MCP, upload footage, and edit by talking to Claude the way you already do.
What you make
- Talking heads and updates
- Tutorials and screen walkthroughs
- Vlogs and recaps
- Explainers with motion graphics
- Highlight montages
Your three most-used prompts
Plan before cutting
You're connected to my Vyra project "studio vlog sept". List the assets and summarize the footage. Then propose a 45-second Reel structure with timestamps. Wait for my OK before editing.
Execute the plan
Build the rough cut exactly as planned. No captions or music yet. When done, read the timeline back with start and end times for every item.
Find and overlay
Find every moment where I mention the brush set. At each one, cut to the close-up brush footage for 2-3 seconds, then back to me. Capture frames at each cut so I can check.
A typical workflow
- Connect Claude Desktop or Claude Code to Vyra through MCP. A few minutes, once.
- Upload footage in Vyra. It transcribes every word and analyzes every scene so Claude can search it.
- Ask Claude for a summary and a plan. Approve or edit it in text.
- Have Claude go step by step. Cut, then captions, then music. Ask for frame captures to check.
- Open the timeline for hand tweaks, then export.
What Vyra does that matters for you
- No new interface. The way you prompt for writing and code works for video.
- Claude can look at the footage. Transcripts, scene descriptions, captured frames.
- Claude can do the whole job in one chat. Write the script, draft the caption, cut the video.
- You pay Vyra for the editor, not for a second model.
What it does not do
- It doesn't replace your Vyra plan. Claude does the reasoning, Vyra has the tools.
- It doesn't generate footage. Claude edits what you uploaded.

FAQ
Which Claude clients work? Claude Desktop and Claude Code are the most tested. Any MCP-compatible Claude surface works.
Can I mix Claude and the in-app agent? Yes. Same project, same timeline.
Does Claude see the reference video automatically? It has access. Tell it what to copy. Pacing, captions, music, or all three.
