Claude video editing: edit and post your videos from Claude
Claude can't edit video on its own; connect Solara AI and Claude edits your recording, then asks before posting.
Works on every Claude plan, Free included (one custom connector).
Claude sends your recording to Solara AI, which edits it into a short for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X.

Nothing to install (Node.js 20 or newer). It shows you where to get your key, then checks it.
npx solaraai loginCreate a key
In Solara, create one under API keys in the menu under your name, and give it to the CLI as SOLARA_API_KEY, never in a chat.

Which agents can upload files?
Claude Code, Cursor, opencode and Claude Desktop sessions that can open your files upload the file itself. ChatGPT, claude.ai in your browser and Grok Bot can’t: paste a public link, such as a Google Drive or Dropbox share link, and Solara fetches it.
Common questions
Can Claude edit videos?
Not on its own: Claude has no video editor, so it can't edit your recording or post it. Connect Solara AI as a custom connector, and Claude edits your video, exports it and asks to post it.
Is there a Claude video editor?
Claude doesn't come with one, but you can connect one. Add Solara AI as a custom connector, and Claude edits your videos for you. Every change shows live in the editor, and undoes in one step.
Does it work on Claude Free?
Yes. It works on every Claude plan, and Claude Free has one custom connector.
Can Claude upload my video file?
Claude Desktop sessions that can open your files upload the file itself. In claude.ai in your browser, paste a public link to your recording, such as a Google Drive or Dropbox share link, and Solara fetches it.
Can Claude post to Instagram for me?
Once your accounts are connected in Solara, Claude can ask to post a video to Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X, and nothing posts until you approve Claude's request.
Is it free?
AI agents work on every plan, within its limits. On the free try your first download is free; posting a video Solara edited comes with a plan. On the free try that’s 3 videos, clips up to 90 seconds. Connecting an agent costs nothing extra, each export uses one of your plan’s videos as it does in the app, and what your agent starts each day is capped.
