It's seems great!! I've built a similar tool called FableCut: https://github.com/ronak-create/FableCut , it has no libraries so i can't use remotion or Mediabunny but those are excelent libs you should try if you don't have contraints
I've looked at it and i've found thatit is more verbos for LLMs not less, curently the format is optimized for cheap agent patching, and OTIO support as an interchange adapter (not a native format swap).
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.
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.
Thanks! That sounds like a really interesting use case. I'd love to see how it turns out. If you end up making those tweaks for full agentic narration and video cutting, feel free to share your experience or ideas, I'd be happy to learn from them and see if they could be incorporated into the tool.
