51 viral video effects, driven entirely by vibes

What it does It’s a Claude Code skill: drop a vertical video into the chat, type /effects orbit (or any of 51 named effects), and it renders an edited yourvideo_effects.mp4 next to your original. Effects range from punch-ins and colour grades to layered compositions — reels fanned out behind your head, a tier list dropping you into S tier, iMessage notifications popping in. Timing is specified in plain words (“when I say ‘watch’”) and Claude finds the second.

The interesting bit Every effect is face-aware: OpenCV YuNet tracks you, and anything that would cover your face gets placed behind your head instead, using MediaPipe’s selfie segmenter to cut you out of the background. That’s the boring part doing the heavy lifting — it’s what makes the layered “stuff orbiting your head” look work without manual masking.

Key highlights

• 51 effects plus bonus looks, stackable in a single command (e.g. locked-on, then orbit, then a reject-stamp on a word)
• Renders 1080p by default; 4K on request (slower)
• Needs ffmpeg and Python, and installs them itself on first run
• Can pull your own reel screenshots into effects like orbit and profile-wall
• Fully open-licensed stack: YuNet (MIT), MediaPipe (Apache 2.0), OFL fonts

Caveats

• These are explicitly “starter versions” — no sound design, captions, or the hand-tuned timing of the author’s paid Hop Studio product (the repo is, honestly, a funnel for it)
• It drafts, you approve: you’re expected to review the render before posting, and fixes happen by describing what’s wrong

Verdict Worth a look if you make short-form talking-head content and already live in Claude Code — it’s genuinely clever glue over YuNet and MediaPipe. If you need polished, sound-designed edits, this is the free sample, not the meal.
