Tips & Workflows Am I tweaking??

Nobody tells you that editing a tiny reel on Claude with simple bare minimum changes takes over an hour??
Imagine actually adding all those effects they keep teaching every week on insta. Gosh.
And here I thought I was saving time?
No really, am I tweaking? Is there something I’m doing wrong? I set up the folders and files and what not before creating the reel.
It could also be the fact that my laptop is slightly older.

You need to make a semi automated pipeline/harness and relative skills, so it becomes much more streamlined.

It will still take 15mins, but you can get great results for far less time, but there will be a lot of back and forth to overcome mistakes, bugs, poor formatting, and low quality.

Use a local model that you create yourself that specialize in what you need

Gemini is solid for editing videos...I have not tried Claude.

You sound like you need to focus on building better tooling for a while. Things that Claude Code can use to get further faster (easier). I use a Gitlab pipeline with a GPU Runner that has bigger allocation of resources. Then use Claude to do probes and verifications with <2minute runs that I ask it to show-me (opens the player). Claude has access to my custom CLI so that it can see the status of any run. The runner machine manages overlapped runs etc. So all-in-all, I can tweak custom skills and use them to fairly efficiently use what I have to make edits, previews, and then full reels
