VIDEO ALCHEMY
my AI edits my entire youtube videos now. cuts, captions, b-roll, music. i open sourced the whole pipeline - free.
i record a 39 minute ramble, hand it to an AI agent, and get back a tight 6 minute video with word-by-word captions and b-roll cutaways. zero timeline editing. the whole pipeline is open source and free - here's how editing videos with AI actually works.
TALK. THE AI CUTS.
- record like a human. ramble, restart, wait on stuff. the pipeline makes it tight - my 39 minute yap became a 6 minute video.
- the edit is data. cuts, captions, and b-roll live in JSON, so an AI agent edits the whole video and every revision is a one line change.
- free, local, open source. video-alchemy on github (https://github.com/kingbootoshi/video-alchemy) - transcription, cutter, caption renderer, plus the claude code skill and chatgpt instructions.
- see the result. the replicator video (https://youtu.be/X1-BvFXeBho) was edited entirely this way. AI ran the scanner AND the edit.
