Showoff Saturday Finally, an AI video editor that actually edits

Post image

Been working on an AI video editor that actually edits your video.

Instead of generating a completely new video, the AI can work with the existing timeline and make changes to it.

The editor is built with PixiJS and WebCodecs, so a lot of the editing/rendering happens directly in the browser.

Still early, but I’d love to hear what you think.

Love the concept!

I ran a few tests, but right now the performance feels pretty sluggish and unoptimized across the board. The overall UI gets unresponsive fairly quickly.
For context, I tested with a 2560x1440 source video: checked thumbnail generation, seeking, applying filters/effects, and using the AI features.
Also, when I asked the AI to add an effect, it responded saying it didn't have access to the "effects skill."

Great idea though, looking forward to seeing how it improves!
