Hey I’ve been trying to get Claude code to generate Final Cut xml myself. Mostly I just have a Claude.md with the FCP xml reference and some guidelines. What does this do differently?
Editing will remain of utmost strategic important to automate until generation dominates the field. At that point, we'll probably generate from storyboards.
A lot of small startups are trying to automate timeline construction with VLMs. I've counted about a dozen, some with seed stage funding. If you can crack this, there's absolutely a path to a unicorn. But in the long term, generation will disrupt nonlinear video editors, because whatever high level software we build will be able to dispatch to both generation and editing tasks.
Fwiw, I also work in this space and spend a lot of time thinking about it. Prior to AI, I also spent a significant amount of time making films the old fashioned way.
I feel like they've really changed how they are presenting themselves but Runway was the big one that came to mind for me that focus on more than simple video generation but actually meant for film makers.
This is the best page I found- maybe there's a better one...
It is a law of "AI" that every project must have a name collision with Nvidia:

Could you name a few of these startups please?

But its interface looks like a video editor- timeline, etc
I’m curious as well.
I’ve been exploring this space for a potential project - curious to see what these startups are doing
It's video editing, not video generation at all, not even a "different kind". Really cool though.
Yeah, but further developed it could pass for editing
Creating a video through edits is generation of a video.
This is a great project that demonstrates a unique way to tackle a problem from someone with a passion for those problems.
