## How do I automate the same video edits on every video?

In Tella, save a multi-step edit as a skill and the [Tella Agent](https://www.tella.com/agent) follows the same steps on any new video. Keep a skill personal, share it with your workspace, or install one from a GitHub repository. Tella also ships built-in skills such as tella-short, which turns a video into a vertical Short with captions.

Save the edit you made on this video as a skill called "Clean up a demo". I want to run it on my next screen recording with one command, so keep the steps in the same order.
```

## More prompts

### Weekly team update

```text
Make a workspace skill for our weekly update videos: cut silences and filler words, add our intro title card with this week's date, turn on subtitles in our brand style, and write chapters. Ask me for the date first.
```

### Customer support replies

```text
Create a skill for support videos: trim the start and end, zoom in on every click, blur the customer's email address wherever it's on screen, and end on a card that says "Still stuck? Reply to this email."
```

## Good to know

- Needs a paid plan or the 7-day trial. Messages use your workspace's credits.
- Install skills only from sources you trust. A skill can run code in the agent's sandbox.
- You need to be a workspace owner or member to add skills or change workspace skills.
- Attach reference videos or images, up to 10 MB each. A personal skill overrides a workspace skill of the same name.

## Questions people ask

### What is a skill in the Tella Agent?

A skill in the Tella Agent is a saved set of instructions for an editing job you repeat. Run it and the agent follows the same steps, so you don't rewrite the prompt.

### Can I use Claude Code skills in Tella?

You can add a skill to Tella from a GitHub repository. In the skill library, paste the repository link, review its contents, choose Personal or Workspace, and click Trust & install.

### Does the agent remember my preferences without a skill?

Yes. Tell the Tella Agent a preference, like "always use my brand color for text," and it saves it to memory for you or your workspace. Use skills for multi-step jobs.
