Work on concurrent media projects with Claude Cowork
This article will teach you how to utilize Claude Cowork for parallel image and video processing, including file compression, audio extraction, and automated media-intensive computer activities.

Step-by-step:

Open the new Cowork page after updating your Claude desktop software (which needs a $100 monthly membership to Claude Max).

After adding one or two pictures and videos to a new folder, click "Work in a folder" and choose that folder.

"Save copies of the images in this folder, then reduce the file size of each by at least 50" is the prompt you should provide Claude.

"Extract the audio from the small steps video and save it as an MP3" should be included before it is finished. Claude will do both duties at the same time.

Give Cowork access to open source documentation by adding the Context7 extension.
