Ask HN: Is there a markup language for video editing
Similar to how there are tools to [make slide decks from Markdown][1], is there something that would allow you to edit a video with Markdown or a similar syntax?
I could only find something called [VEAML][2] so far.

- Someone 6y agoFor a very loose interpretation of “Markdown or similar syntax” (XML is text, too), there’s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronized_Multimedia_Integration_Language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronized_Multimedia_Integr... (spec at https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-smil/smil30.html https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-smil/smil30.html, examples at https://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/RA-examples.html https://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/RA-examples.html) QuickTime used to support it, but I don’t think it’s well supported nowadays. If it did, writing a transpiler from something more Markdown-like to SMIl might be an option.
