How Agentic Video Editing Works: Four Designs and What Each One Costs You

Описание и применение

AI‑агент Claude Fable 5 создал редактируемый JSON‑план, LUT‑файлы и React‑компоненты для 3‑минутного видео, позволяя полностью контролировать процесс редактирования.

Задача

How to edit video using AI agents while retaining control over the edit files and ensuring transparency.

Результат

The agent produced a fully editable JSON cut plan, LUTs, and React components, enabling transparent inspection and local rendering of a 3‑minute video in four days.

Рабочий процесс

• Understand footage by transcribing all takes with timestamps
• Plan cuts by selecting best takes and documenting reasons
• Apply cuts using ffmpeg guided by the JSON plan
• Check the cut by re‑transcribing and verifying filler words are removed
• Grade the footage by generating candidate looks and choosing one
• Add graphics by rebuilding static frames as React components
• Design review by exporting to Figma, importing designer changes, and updating the video
• Render the final 3:00 3840×2160 video with 4,334 frames and 653 MB size
