Great, will look at them and deploy a fix soon Thanks for trying it out

Yo, how did you build it?

Research(chat gpt and Claude) Write findings and discuss with Claude, what’s possible and not possible, write spec. Start coding and ask Claude to follow guide and finish feature, review and correct, ask claude to note down corrections Recycle for each feature till complete

Can it create hyperlapse videos ? Like speed up my video 2x ?

Yhep you can I did as well for the video I posted—if you look at it closely, it sped up, then returned to normal to show the reveal, then sped up again.

Thanks I'll try it out

Just found you via @AlphaSignalAI newsletter as the top repo today. Very impressive mate!

@AlphaSignalAI Thank you 🙏🏾

I find open source to be an excellent approach. I've given it a try, but the user experience still needs improvement, and performance needs optimization. However, the interface UI is fantastic. I've also developed an online video editing tool (

solid project but it's still an editor. some of us just don't want to edit at all lol. skiddee makes the video from a script, no timeline involved
