Hojas Studio is a Claude Code skill that edits talking-head videos the way a good editor would, and then hands you the edit on a real timeline in your browser.
Give Claude a clip. It cuts the silences, transcribes every word, writes word-timed Arabic captions, asks you a few questions on a page (platform, aspect ratio, caption style), designs explainer cards, adds b-roll and sound, and opens the result on a timeline where you change anything you want before exporting. Then it pings your phone with the finished clip, and can post it to TikTok from your own browser once you say yes.
Everything runs on your computer. No API keys, no uploads.
New in 4.70: the chalkboard
Talk about an idea and Claude turns it into an animated chalkboard explainer on top of your clip: each word is chalked in the moment you say it, drawings draw themselves stroke by stroke, and 32 characters, 43 icons and real taped photos make the point. Full screen, on top with you below, or as a card over the real app on screen. Claude picks the moments that need explaining and checks that nothing overlaps.
Why it exists
Editing a 60-second Arabic short by hand takes hours: cutting pauses, typing captions word by word, keeping text out of the platform's UI, rebuilding the same explainer cards every time.
Hojas Studio turns that into a conversation. Claude does the heavy edit, and you keep full control: every caption, card, effect and cut sits on a timeline you can drag, trim and restyle, with live preview and no re-render.
Made for creators who post on TikTok, Instagram Reels, X and LinkedIn, with each platform's safe zones, length and pacing built in.
What you get
| |
|---|
| Smart cut | Removes silences, filler words and repeated takes, then keeps cuts on sentence boundaries. |
| Arabic captions | Word-timed, grouped on breathing pauses, 20 ready styles, highlight on the spoken word, optional English translation line. |
| Questions page | Before editing, Claude opens a page to ask about type, platforms, aspect ratio, captions, cards, music and ending. No back-and-forth in chat. |
| Explainer cards | Steps, flows, comparisons, checklists, timelines, quotes, big numbers and free-form diagrams, placed above your face, never on it. |
| Motion & numbers | Counters, slot numbers, dot percentages, bar and line charts, route maps and highlighted headlines. |
| Transitions & marks | Seven motion-matched transitions, hand-drawn circles and arrows, a clicking cursor and lower thirds. |
| Looks & grading | 12 one-click looks (dossier, keynote, riso, blueprint, mashrabiya and more) and 11 color grades. |
| You and your background | Blur or replace what is behind you, or slide a word behind your head. Segmentation runs in the browser on your machine. |
| Sound | A 30-sound library, your own sounds and music, voice clean-up presets and automatic ducking under speech. |
| Exports | 9:16 master plus 4:5, 1:1 or 16:9 versions, hook variants and a clean no-caption copy, with a post caption written for each platform. |
| Paper motion style new | A light paper screen where your words are typed in as you say them, with a big keyword, a black box punch line, and soft-shadow cards: a terminal typing your command, a phone, a button, a comment, your profile with a Follow button. |
| Dahih desk style new | A title header with your photo, a paper desk behind you (cut out on your machine), clipped index cards, polaroids of your own footage, circled counting numbers, strike-and-replace, invoices and short orange captions. Backgrounds switch with a circle wipe. |
| Phone notifications | Through the free ntfy app, no account and no keys. Claude pings you when it needs you and sends the finished clip to your phone. |
| Learns your style new | Every change you make to Claude's edit (fonts, colors, end card, layers you delete, words you fix) is remembered, so the next edit starts closer to your taste. |
| Post to TikTok new | Claude uploads the clip in TikTok Studio from your own browser and account, fills the caption, then stops before the Post button for your yes. Scheduling too. |
| End card font new | Pick any caption font or your own uploaded font for the end card. |
Two ready-made styles
Paper motion: your words typed in on light paper as you speak, with soft-shadow cards and clay stickers.
Dahih desk: a title header, a paper desk behind you, clipped cards, circled numbers and short orange captions.
Pick one on the questions page, or ask Claude: "edit it in the paper style".
Translated podcast clips: turn a long episode into short vertical clips with a title, the source, clean Arabic subtitles and the original line under them.
Library and phone
python hs.py hub opens the Library: every clip and its status, everything you sent Claude with a one-tap revert, and your computer's status. From your phone you open any clip, hold the mic to leave a voice note at that moment, or upload a new video and Claude starts on it.
