I feel the same way too. I also open sourced a video editor. It's free to use and you can buy credits whenever you want to access AI specific features.
What's the name of it?

#42Nice project. I’m building a similar project. It’s open source too. https://github.com/DonkeyUseCorp/Donkey It’s mostly a web app with a native swift companion app to access local resources like TTS, file storage and video rendering. I arrived at the same conclusion as you; every app should have AI chat. Just give it full access to the app like a real user. I found that users prefer talking to the AI when editing vs…
Donkey is slick. Love the minimal UI.
Edit: Having played with both a bit, and with no disrespect to OP, yours is a significantly better product.

#43> Most work in the editing workflow is more mechanical than creative. I really disagree with this. Maybe once you start producing videos with a formula, it's true. But if you stop to think about it, a lot of things that people consider gruntwork hide little decision in them that subtly influence the creative process. A lot of tech-minded people don't understand this about art but after editing tens of thousands of ph…
That's totally fair! I would not want to push you to try out the product, if you're happy with your current editing flow.
We want to make a software that enable more people to be creative with their work, with or without AI. Davinci/Premiere is great software, but for beginners it is still a very high barrier to learn the software.
AI is already used in existing software to help automate parts of editing workflow. One example: Masking an object used to be very mechanical with keyframing, Mocha makes it easier. Now with AI segmentation models, masking anything is much more automated than before. I think that's much more outside of masking that we can just do better.

#45Well Plamier Por was mac native, but it did inspired me to build FableCut: https://github.com/ronak-create/FableCut

Ifound Palmiers interface dense, cluttered, and confusing - just take the panel top left (to the right of chat) for example. So much going on in one small space.
Donkey Cut offers more functionality in less space, and everything is easy to find and understand. It isn't without bugs, but the structure is there for it to be great

Appreciate the candid feedback. I'm working on this every day. What bugs did you run into? Trying to make AI video editing best in class.
