Hermes Agent Just Changed Video Forever

Build an AI Video Editor Inside Agent OS (Open-Source Video Agent Setup)

The episode demonstrates a system that adds a full AI video editor inside Agent OS using a free open-source GitHub skill, allowing users to upload footage, prompt an agent, and generate edited videos with before-and-after results. The workflow can be taught to models like Hermes or Claude and is positioned as automating tasks typically handled by a team of video editors, functioning like a SaaS-style “video agent” that saves projects in a workspace for easy organization. It emphasizes writing strong briefs to improve edits, notes that rendering can take time so users should leave it running in the background, and mentions optional integration with ElevenLabs. The system can also create full avatar videos with B-roll, voiceover, and research in one prompt, leveraging memory and context for personalization, and is available as a full setup through the AI Profit Boardroom.

Now I'm going to show you a powerful system we've used to basically set up a video editor inside the AgentOS. And you can see it actually create like full videos, put them together, edit them beautifully. And you can see like the before and after as well. It's pretty powerful to set up.

So here's an example as well. I'll show you more examples in a minute in terms of how it works. This is based on a new open source skill that we've set up and it's pretty easy to do. So what you can do here is you can add the video that you want to edit and then the AI agent can do that for you.

And you just give it the prompt here and then it works directly. So how does this work? Well basically we created a custom workflow here where we got this GitHub. So it's a free open source project as you can see.

It comes with lots of cool video skills. You can teach that to Hermes or to Claude or whatever you prefer to use. And then we plugged it into our AgentOS system. And it's a really powerful system that basically replaces a team of video editors.

So before you would have a team that creates a video, puts it together, everything else. This whole system now automates that fully for you. And we've created basically what you can see here is a full kind of SaaS tool for video editing, which is really cool. So it's a video agent and essentially you can save everything that you've created on the left hand side.

You can give it a prompt over here and then you can see the output over here, which is really cool. So how does it work step by step? Well essentially what you do is you just prompt it and the agent follows your instructions. Kind of like the same way you would use ChatGPT, but instead of like, for example, creating a blog post or something like that, you're creating a video.

Now the thing to note about AI videos normally is like if you generate them, they still need a lot of editing. So for example, if we look at this system here, as you can see, these videos are great, but there's no real editing on them. And that's with this tool here. But if you use the video agent that we've plugged in here and we've used it with Hermes Agent, it can easily start editing our videos with one single prompt.

So it takes everything you've got, runs it through the video editor, and then you get the final output. And you can literally install this in like five minutes. So if you want to get the open source project, it's available here, as you can see. And it's literally like one easy setup to install it.

So you can copy and paste that into Claude or Codex or Hermes or OpenClaude. And then once you've done that, you're good to go. So here's an example. The way to get the most out of it is like give it a really strong brief.

So here's a really bad brief versus a good one to get the most out of this. And then it can actually tighten up the existing video that's created. So if you create a video with this, you can actually make it way more interesting and remove any of the fluff as well. Now, one thing to note here is that it can take a while.

So the way you would use this is you would go into the video editor and give it a task. But then I would just leave that tab open and come back to it later. Because for actually putting it together, it's going to have a skill that it runs and a workflow that it runs. And so you just want to leave it running in the background and then come back to it later.

Also, you can plug in 11 labs directly into it. But yeah, it's really cool. It's like having your own human editor ready 24-7 that can create awesome stuff. So this was fully created with AI too, which is pretty amazing.

So it's like an AI avatar video that's put together. And then it can even create, for example, this bit too. So pretty powerful stuff. Now, also what I like about having it inside this system is that we can use the video team here.

But then we also have a video agent over here. So with this system, if you want to create like a full avatar video with B-roll, the AI avatar, the voiceover, and everything else, we can do that with one prompt. And it even researches, creates a voiceover, and everything else. So between these two systems, this one and this one, you've got a really powerful system that can put everything together for you.

And also it saves automatically to your workspace, right? So everything that you've created with these video agents, you can come back to later. And the thing that I found quite often is like if you're creating a lot of videos like this, sometimes you lose the files, it's difficult to organize, etc. This system just plugs it all together.

And also the other great thing about this is it's plugged into our memory and context system. So it can use that to personalize the video and the outputs and everything else.
