yes, microsoft does hold a trademark for notepad. As litigious as MS is I'm pleasantly surprised they've left notepad++ alone. Unfortunately anthropic is actively eroding community goodwill in regards to potential IP conflicts: https://abnormal.ai/blog/abnormal-response-to-anthropic-laws... https://x.com/steipete/status/2016068265391354181

If MS can go after notepad++ then Bjarne Stroustrup can go after C#?

The name C++ is not trademarked, only the logo iirc.

You should strongly consider using Mediabunny to do all of the rendering client-side!

Of course, it's impossible to know for sure what was LLM processed or not, but some of your posts (like this one) have been getting classified that way.

Haha the better question is can the notepad++ guy go after notepad++ (for mac)?

demo is up, as promised: https://github.com/ronak-create/FableCut/releases/download/v...

its a real session, not staged: one prompt ("edit a reel from these assets"), claude code plans the cut for ~6 minutes, writes the entire timeline as one json document, and the editor is already live with it. the 24.5s reel it produced is also in the release, untouched: https://github.com/ronak-create/FableCut/releases/tag/v1.3.0

fittingly, the demo video itself was also edited in fablecut.

I apologise for the activity as some of my replies were AI-assisted. As I wanted to be precise and frame my idea accordingly. I'll keep the guidelines in mind and maintain the legitimacy of my comments and post.

I couldn't find a skill in your project that would help integrate mediabunny. The docs and examples look like they could really help. Having good example coverage allows agents to pickup libraries easily. https://github.com/Vanilagy/mediabunny

Just point the agent at the docs, it'll understand them quickly. Mediabunny also has many examples and even a dedicated LLM page.

That genuinly good, I didn't know about the LLM page, I have opened an issue to track the WebCodecs/Mediabunny export (https://github.com/ronak-create/FableCut/issues/2)

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...

Agreed. I didn't mean to imply otherwise. It was more about having every facet represented in JSON in one place.
