SageCut plugin cuts Opus 5.5 video review cost by pre-filtering frames
Installs SageCut in Claude Code so the Sage decision model picks frames by brand rules and only selected ones go to Opus 5.5 critics for Remotion videos.
how to improve your Opus 5.5 motion videos and make the review much cheaper if you use Opus 5.5 to review every frame of the videos you make, it quickly gets expensive and slow... so add a fast, cheap decision model to your workflow, and let it pick the frames Opus needs to see here's the playbook, save it: 1. add the decision model to your video workflow I use SageCut, a Claude Code plugin that runs the Sage decision model on Remotion videos install it in Claude Code > /plugin marketplace add levantolabs/sagecut-release > /plugin install sagecut@levantolabs 2. open a new project folder, or your current agent chat, and prompt: "Use SageCut to review my Remotion video at out/video .mp4" 3. set your own requirements the first time, it asks for your brand (your website, a brand kit folder or 5 questions), and it will then be able to review every video against your colors, fonts, motion style and the words to avoid you can also add your own yes/no questions for Sage to the review criteria. I want no slop in my videos, so I added my anti-visual-slop .md rule file to SageCut review skill what happens on each video: > SageCut measures every frame in code: text size, blank frames, frozen frames, off-brand colors and the delivery spec > Sage reads every frame and answers yes/no questions about it, including yours > only the frames Sage selects go to the Opus 5.5 critics > at the end, it shows what the review cost and what it saved on Levanto's reference build, an Opus 5.5 critic cost about $0.10 and 8.6 seconds for each frame it viewed (repo in comments)
