About LaunchReel
LaunchReel is a plugin for Claude Code that turns talking-head recordings into polished launch videos. Users record themselves and issue a single prompt such as “Cut this recording into a reel.” Claude Code performs the initial edit, removing fillers, pauses and retakes, then adds captions and zooms. While the AI works, the Studio interface opens in a local browser where users can pin comments on specific frames or click text to make small edits without additional prompts. The tool supports both 16:9 and 9:16 aspect ratios, exports up to 4K resolution, and includes original music and voiceover. Projects can be launched directly from a code repository, and the Studio allows iterative refinements until the video is ready for export. LaunchReel is designed for product teams and solo creators who need to produce launch videos quickly without manual editing software.
