A Codex skill that turns a local video into a 30-60 second short: it detects and removes dead air and pauses using light, normal, or aggressive cut styles, exports a vertical 9:16 MP4, and can transcribe and burn in captions locally with whisper.cpp, with no OpenAI API key required. Runs on local ffmpeg and ffprobe, plus Pillow for caption rendering.

About Editing
Tools that work on footage you already have: cutting, captions, B-roll, silence removal and recaps, often driving FFmpeg or an NLE.
