As someone who has worked as a video editor, the most helpful AI tool would be prompt based editing.
For example “find all the interview sections where people are talking about x and make a sequence”.
OpusClip claims to have this but it’s behind a waitlist.

I agree that building AI on top of the video editor is probably a mistake. Maybe the format of the representation of the video can be something better than a series of matrices of pixel values.

It seems like we are currently in the "skeuomorphic" product design era for AI products. Which is to say we are building the same products but with AI tacked on. I appreciate that you are approaching this problem from first principles and attempting to break from the model of the previous generation. Kudos.

Good work on pushing through. It’s like you say, building anything is an achievement.

Love the author sharing their winding journey as well as the tools and things they learned along the way. You can tell the author did grow a lot through this process, and through the year. Great stuff, thanks for sharing these great tips :D

Because I don't see it mentioned elsewhere, I wanted to plug OpenTimelineIO, as a lot of the industry is building support around it as a format right now, and it would be great for any new video editor to support.

what do you think of this versus the ai that is hiring actors that are then reused as models in the videos via script

did i miss something or this is "video editing was too hard so i just made a Wikipedia reading bot that generates drivel for Instagram and TikTok at the same time"?
