Editing and rough cuts (22)
onetake
onetake is an agent skill for Claude Code and similar agents that makes product launch films, teasers and feature demos as one continuous camera move, where each beat grows out of the previous one instead of cutting between slides. The agent writes the motion as code and renders it with ffmpeg, and the skill checks continuity at every transition. The free edition on GitHub is for noncommercial use; onetake Pro adds a camera operator that follows each beat, source files for every example film, starter templates and a commercial licence.
