Creates a project subfolder with raw, proxies, working, renders, exports, assets layout and an optional git init.

New Video Project

Scaffold a project workspace inside the registered video index.

Procedure

1. Resolve the index

INDEX_FILE="${CLAUDE_USER_DATA:-${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/claude-plugins}/video-editing/index.json" test -f "$INDEX_FILE" || { echo "No index — run setup-index first."; exit 1; } INDEX_PATH=$(jq -r .path "$INDEX_FILE" 2>/dev/null || grep -oP '"path":\s*"\K[^"]+' "$INDEX_FILE")

2. Ask for project metadata

Name — required. Slugify (lowercase, hyphens for spaces).

Version control — default no for video. Most video projects are too large for git.

3. Create the layout

PROJ="$INDEX_PATH/<slug>" test -e "$PROJ" && { echo "Already exists: $PROJ"; exit 1; } mkdir -p "$PROJ"/{raw,proxies,working,renders,exports,assets,subtitles,graphics}

Folder

Purpose

raw/

Original source clips — never edited in place

proxies/

Low-res transcodes for fast scrubbing

working/

NLE project files (Kdenlive, MLT XML)

renders/

Intermediate / preview renders

exports/

Final deliverables

assets/

Music, lower thirds, graphics, SFX

subtitles/

SRT / VTT files

graphics/

Overlays, lower thirds, watermarks

Write a README.md with the slug, ISO date, and a short notes section.

4. (Optional) git init

If the user wants version control:

cd "$PROJ" && git init

Add .gitignore excluding raw/, proxies/, renders/, exports/ — only project file + notes get versioned.

5. Confirm

Print the project path. Offer to cd there or open in a terminal.
