Very cool project but having fable in the name makes it sound so tacky

The readme is full of compound Claudeisms, so why not ;-) per-shot energy frame-accurate word-pop reference-video CSS-@keyframes-animated SVGs render frame-accurately

You should have a hosted site for this - It is entirely frontend - right?

almost! the editor/compositor is fully browser side, but the server is doing real work: project.json lives on disk (thats the whole point, any agent or script can edit it and fs.watch + sse hot reloads the ui), plus ffmpeg for the final export encode. so it needs the local server for the actual workflow.

a hosted demo mode is a good idea though, project in localstorage + sample footage + mediarecorder export would let people feel the editor without cloning. the one thing it cant show is the main trick, watching an external agent rebuild your timeline live, since theres no local file for it to edit. might do a stripped demo build if theres interest

That’s just how some humans write. These words didn’t come from an LLM vacuum.

I have little experience with video editing; a tool like this might be an ideal path to learn more. Thanks for creating and publishing it and sharing here!

You aren't going to learn by having the AI do it for you...

Facts!!!

Sure, but we can't handwave away every observation about LLM output with "(some of) the original training corpora came from humans". Qualitatively, the vibes are off™.
