Earlier quoted context omitted.

Removed - conversation tone not right.

no worries at all - I appreciate the feedback. Out of curiosity, what makes you think this is a tarpit idea? I roughly understand the term as "ideas that seem obvious and easy, but have non-obvious problems". Ideally, we would like Revideo to be used to build any kind of web-based video editor. A lot of video editors exist, and many of them make a lot of money. Based on my experience, building a video editor from scr…

How does this compare to MoviePy beyond the JSX like syntax and being JS?

The fact that it is JS actually implies more than just being written in a different language. You can ship Revideo as part of your website and run it inside the browser. One of the reasons we struggled with Moviepy was that we couldn't preview our changes in real-time which made the dev-experience a little tedious.

Congrats on the launch! I work at Sieve ( https://www.sievedata.com/ ). We do a bunch of stuff with AI and video. Excited to check this out :)

Hi Mokshith, we talked about releasing a project using the Sieve API and Revideo before! This is definitely something we still want to do. I'll reach out!

Interesting stuff! Which use cases do you think developers will use you most for?

There could be really interesting abstractions that people might build on top of this. Like automatically creating and animating infographics, making background sounds, or video cutting and recycling. If you spin this 100x further an entire video creation studio might emerge.

Which parts of Video Infrastructure do you want to build first? Which other higher-level parts could be built by you or users? Where could this go?

Thank you! As of now, many people use Revideo to programatically create Youtube videos (primarily entertainment content, think of AI generated memes and Youtube Shorts) and for use cases in video marketing (think automatically generating and A/B testing ads from a product portfolio). As the project becomes more mature and better, we want to enable developers to build more complex, and especially interactive video editors using the framework.

I'm glad you raise the point of reusability and people building abstractions - what I find really exciting about code as an interface for video editing (rather than GUI) is that it makes it much easier to create and share isolated, reusable components and functions. Especially as we are open source, I hope that many developers will build abstractions and share them on Github

Out of curiosity, what do you mean by "Video Creation Studio"? Would you add a visual interface for editing to Revideo?

How does Jacob (aarthificial, creator of motion-canvas) feel about this? Will you compensate or include him in some way? I understand the license is MIT so you can do what you want. Just seems like it would be polite to maintain a good relationship with him and other motion-canvas maintainers.
