Show HN: Built myself a super YouTube post-prod studio

A developer built a 31,000-line post-production studio for YouTube that automates cutting, grading, thumbnails, shorts creation, and uploads, using Claude Code Max as a substitute for a human editor. The system's 'smart cutting' feature reduces editing time by 95% by generating a DaVinci Resolve timeline, while thumbnails are made from PSD templates without AI because AI-generated thumbnails reportedly underperform.

i just want to film myself rambling and all the cutting, grading, uploading, thumbs, short generation is done for me. 31k lines of code for now. when you're too poor to afford an editor, you pay for claude code max to build one there's a the "smart cutting" that saves me 95% of the time cutting stuff out from a semantical point of view it turns it into a DaVinci Resolve timeline that i then import . there's a thumbnail generator but i actually started to use the psd template way, where the background, text and contrast/brightness only are changed, and basically there's no ai involved, ai thumbnails don't perform well, i was told also a shorts creator it has a ton of internal steps and there's also the autoupload that generates some titles, description, chapters, tags etc. no screenshot of that i finally started my yt era. optimizing this thought-to-posted-video cycle makes me comfortable spending time actually filming and sharing my ideas Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49611999 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49611999 Points: 1 Comments: 0
