It’s worth a reminder on this thread that this 20 year-old game just got ported to macOS last week and is available on steam. For those of you interested in playing again but don’t have a gaming PC sitting around.
Theoretically I agree, but practically without guidance agents aren't really able to edit video ATM. Without hand holding Claude will just call ffmpeg and look at a few frames.
Really impressive work guys! It seems like YC has funded a few companies attacking this but I think you all might have the best approach so far. Behind the scenes is the agent just editing using text/annotated timelines? I feel like the move is probably text for roughcut/narrative, then a vlm for digesting the initial roughcut, then adding broll and fixing timing issues. Feel free to steal my FCP xml generator. https://github.com/barefootford/buttercut
Sorta wish they would ship the last watches before announcing more that are months away. I’m pretty sure I preordered 9 months ago and still have nothing to show for it.
I switched from structured outputs on OpenAI apis to unstructured on Claude (haiku 4.5) and haven't had any issues (yet). But guarantees are always nice.
I've wanted to build a video editing agent this year but I kept putting it off because I thought it would take too long. Having simple Claude Skills as markdowns + a little bit of Ruby made this a lot easier than I expected.
Behind the scenes we transcribe audio, analyze frames, and then build a combined/combed transcript of all the footage. Claude can then build rough cuts by just laying out clips with the correct timestamps. After a yaml rough cut is built, a Ruby library generates basic XML for Final Cut or Premiere.
The design taste on almost all these humanoid bots seems off. If I'm going to have some AI-powered alien in my house I want it to be and appear harmless, helpful, maybe even cute? These look creepy and dystopian.
I look forward to trying this out. Any benchmarks or demos on how long it actually takes to restore? I ended up cooking my own boring S3 backup because previously litestream took 20 minutes to restore something like 1000 rows. It felt extremely unoptimized. How long does restoration take today?
