- impressions 3y agoCan I upload my own footage?
- correa_brian 3y agoYes! You can use our web app to upload files to up 2GB. We use machine learning to index your videos and make them searchable. We're also working on a desktop app that should be available in the next couple of weeks.
- bluesclues4days 3y agowho is this meant for?
- correa_brian 3y agoSo far our users are mostly video editors. They want to be able to search their footage quickly and export it into their editing software (premiere, da vinci, final cut, etc.). We've also had interest from cinematographers and content creators who want to organize their large video catalogs.
- iAMkenough 3y agoAs a video editor, most of my files are more than 2GB each. The product looks appealing, but impractical for my workflow. Compressing footage to <2GB proxies, uploading the proxies to a website to catalog, then downloading each individual clip I want to use in Premiere seems like a slow process that would also degrade the quality of my footage. On-premise storage with low latency access to original footage is still a requirement for professional video production.
- correa_brian 3y agoHey thanks for checking it out and offering your thoughts. I've actually gotten the same feedback from other professional video editors -- uploading their footage to Cosmos is a non-starter for most cases. To address this I'm developing a desktop app so footage doesn't need to be uploaded manually and the size doesn't become a problem. I'm also working on supporting exports to the major NLEs (Premiere, Resolve, Avid) to better fit editors' workflows (think of Cosmos as the organization step before editing begins). Thanks again and if you're open to talking further, please let me know. I would love to hear any other thoughts you might have about what could make your workflow better.
- smcleod 3y agoSelf hostable? Open Source?
- tetris11 3y agoTheir github is not clear... there are 3 repos, one for the github, one for media extraction scripts (the main backend too?), and one for the frontend. Edit: Okay the frontend looks like it's the whole app: - "LLM React App Javascript Template" - https://github.com/golivecosmos/llm-react-node-app-template https://github.com/golivecosmos/llm-react-node-app-template Looks pretty good to be honest
- correa_brian 3y agoHey thanks for checking it out. We've been open-sourcing one-off tools to help folks who work with video files regularly and want to build basic LLM applications in Javascript. If you have any questions or thoughts about what you'd like to see us open-source, happy to bounce around ideas.
- correa_brian 3y agoHey! We're currently hosting the product ourselves, but will be releasing a desktop app in the next couple of weeks. We've got plans to open-source some elements of our platform (video-to-text, basic media editing, etc.) down the road. Anything specific you're curious about seeing?
- smcleod 3y agoHey thanks for the reply. I wanted to see if I could run it up at home. I’m generally avoiding most closed sourced ML/AI tools now.
