no worries at all. compared to some other comments in this thread, I didn't find your tone snarky at all. I appreciate your engaging with the conversation and the thread :)
Hey there, this is just the output from the Rough Cut tile. Right now each tile in Mosaic represents a modular and functional edit to the video. So after you've got your Rough Cut, given all your footage, there are other tiles which you can then use to add transitions, motion graphics, background music, etc.
That being said, the coolest part with this Rough Cut was that it decided to stand in the footage of the kite to creatively imply the freefall portion of the skydive (because we aren't able to record while we're jumping out of a plane). This ability for it to creatively decided to imply the jump because of the limited footage is what I wanted to get across here.
since we're building on top of LLMs which are by nature probabilistic, you won't produce the exact same frame-level cut each time, but of course there is still determinism in the expected outputs
for example, if you have a workflow setup to create 5 clips from a podcast and add b-rolls and captions and reframe to a few different aspect ratios, any time you invoke this workflow (regardless of which podcast episode you're providing as input), you'll get 5 clips back that have b-rolls, captions, and are reframed to a few different aspect ratios
however, which clips are selected, what b-rolls are generated, where they're placed — this is all non-deterministic
you can guide the agent via prompting the tiles individually, but that's still just an input into a non-deterministic machine
great to hear — I'd recommend using the clips tile to create clips, but you can also use the rough cut tile to help edit down the raw footage for the long-form
hey, thanks for sharing about your documentary series. would love to check it out if you don't mind linking it!
we don't yet support that volume of footage (1TB), however if you'd like to try this at a smaller scale, you can already do this today with the Rough Cut tile — simply prompt it for the moments that you're interested in (it can take visual cues, auditory cues, timestamp cues, script cues) and it will create an initial rough cut or assembly edit for you.
I'd also recommend checking out the new Motion Graphics tile we added for animations. You can also single-point generate motion graphics using the utility on the bottom right of the timeline. Let me know if you have any questions on that.
yes! you can upload as many videos as you want (file limits currently are at 20GB and 90 minutes, per file). then I'd recommend using either the Rough Cut tile or the Montage tile to stitch them all together. In those tiles, you can prompt particular visual cues in terms of how you want the videos to be combined. Let me know if any questions.
we've done a ton of work to optimize the uploads / downloads / transcoding of videos to handle beefy files using proxies, and also allow you to XML export back to traditional editing tools that can link back to your "heavy" media, but I hear you and I think anything running locally on device is just going to feel faster
it does present its own set of challenges, but something we've thought about
