Forgive my ignorance, but that looks like someone created a GUI for the TensorFlow Hub, which is a public collection of pretrained AI models. AI Masking: check AI Depth estimation: check AI Flow estimation: check Flicker artifacts just like the public AI models: check EDIT: Also, this isn't actually new anymore? A quick check found two very similar startups: unscreen.com vfx.comixify.ai And AI rotoscoping has been part of DaVinci Resolve 17 since Februrary: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/whatsnew https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/wha...

None of what Dropbox did was impossible before either (cue famous comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224 ). Us nerds often forget that possibility and usability are not nearly the same. Usage happens when non-technical people like editors are able to get their hands onto the technology.

Creating a GUI fort TensorFlow (or MediaPipe) is not a bad thing in itself, yes? For one thing, we need more After-Effects-like tools - particularly if they can be browser based and cheap/free to use. The ML people don't make it easy to work with the output their models produce. I was playing with TensorFlow/MediaPipe last month, to see if I could get them to play nicely with my canvas library. The results were quite promising[1][2][3]. Still, I think making it easier for devs to use these ML models in various ways needs to be prioritized.
