Sped up. Many, many prompting iterations to get to this point. DaVinci tends to tear down the entire track and rebuild it at every stage, which is why this was very convenient to record. This process took me more than an entire day to achieve this edit as I took the time to build every single skill and explore along the way. But this is my first edit. I've done more, and they are getting faster.

Edited result of timeline shown above:

u say editing and it's just a talking head video with overlays, please be honest with yourself at least. I know you're probably marketing a product but this is just funny that editing has been reduced to that lol

defend this LOL, what does it need to be to be considered editing?

It needs a human soul to let u know how boring someone talking to a camera with a bunch of overlays above him is.

Wow LOL your complaint is about the platform

call it whatever you want just don't surrender that much to laziness 🙏

I've made most of my money as a filmmaker in editorial. I could not be more excited about this technology. Editing should be substantially less time-consuming than it is. Less pain, more creativity, please.

Amazing perspective

I think I can finally drop some of my fun timelapses.

how have you kept them secret!!

The videos weren't released for at least half of them.

Would be curious to see how you prompt it. Tempted to try davinci!

Omg it’s so BEAUTIFUL

Incredible

do you know how many talks I've been putting off editing?

Dude. Seriously. This changes the effort formula on so many things

Props Brian. As someone with 20 years of editing xp. How do you feel when an AI can do what you do? This type of perspectives are always good to share. I watched that video too, it was really good.

I'm a mix of sad and amazed and excited

funny how that works. this is such a new feeling. is the sadness because you loved editing as part of your life or something else??

You are correct. I love editing

A better editor than you but it can't even keep you in frame? How sad.

That's exactly how I asked it to be

wait you're telling me you can't edit better than that?

How much do you value speed for a simple short form video

I can’t imagine the token you’ve spent

Cool!

We cooked fellas

Feel this

where's the end result?

check replies under my tweet

Sorry I’m blind. Crazy shit man, I might have to get this. Seems so powerful.

It really is

You're an editor though right? How did you feel seeing the MCP actually work for the first time?

is this real time?

No, read reply

whaaaatttt😄😄😄

gonna have so much fun this weekend

i am able to create this videos thorugh ideatomotion MCP and i think the video which is edited can also be possible through it. and it took around 20 mins.

Living up to your name! This IS the future.

How much usage allowance a session like this burns?

I use my 200 plan weekly quota in 1.5 days

Reasonable. Still cheaper than human doing it,?

How do you get it to accurately cut ending and beginning words well? Mine loves to chop off the last half of the last word in the cut and the first half of the next cut. I end up with “worlapping” (words overlapping).

You keep asking!

yup, its very good

“I am still recovering from Astra” LMAOOO 😭 I’ve been loving the process of teaching AI to edit for me, but it does feel a bit like Sisyphus sometimes. Every new model makes the stack you just built feel obsolete. It’s like replacing yourself every week.

How did you get access to it?

$200 ChatGPT

Thanks.

still suck

awww

Have you tried it with Sol, Terra and Luna?

No!

How much credit does it really use though?

a lot!

@MiqueCaleb quien pudiera...

@romainbiava

Genuinely curious about this. I’m not a pro, but I’ve edited a lot. What’s the prompt like? And what’s the token use?

i’m doing this with astra raw with ffmpeg, remotion and hyper frames. basically vid gets transcribed, edl generwated and then edited via CLI wondering if i should add in a NLE like this? what’s the main advantage over doing it without computer use and using cli instead? will be testing this with davinci today for sure though. best way to know ultimately! 😂 thank for the nudge!

We are cooked

it is just putting clips and that too misrelbly i think a human can do it better

watch the output bro

how much did it cost in tokens?
