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.
- ozgung 1y agoCould you name a few of these startups please?
- absolute_unit22 1y agoI’m curious as well. I’ve been exploring this space for a potential project - curious to see what these startups are doing
- jasonjmcghee 1y agoI 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... https://runwayml.com/product https://runwayml.com/product But its interface looks like a video editor- timeline, etc
- fcpguru 1y agoYeah I look at the amount of code I have now and it's just crazy. It would have taken me 10 years to get it this far before AI. So much of the code was generated. But I do wonder if all of FCP will be legacy soon...
