Hey HN, my name is David. I m building an open source video editor.I m a novice at video editing and previously only used iMovie. I recently opened iMovie to edit a video but noticed it didn t have some features I wanted, like text overlays. Apple probably hasn t updated it in ages. How hard could it be to build one?It s actually pretty hard. There are so many basic things that need to get right, like behavior in the timeline, drag and drop, coloring, etc. Good thing there are LLMs. I was able to put out a simple version in 3 days and have continued to refine it ever since.The idea is that it s focused on novice to intermediate video editors. I find modern video editors to be very overwhelming, with lots of features and controls. It s needed because video editing is a creative tool, and not everything can be built into one. So I turned every button, toggle, and slider into a tool that s accessible to an LLM. A user just needs to tell an LLM what to do, and it has access to tools that can control all aspects of the video editor.The project is 100% open source, and I continue to refine it every day. I m working solo on this and would love to get feedback if you have any.David
