    Very cool project but having fable in the name makes it sound so tacky

      Yeah I though so but as people are so fond of Fable.. This would give them a poke to just take a look..;)

        Since people like an unrelated product, you thought it would be good marketing to jack the brand? Maybe I should start calling my B2B SaaS products Salesforce too!

        oh, I read fable as a story, fable cut meaning you can stitch up stories which is a form of storytelling, so quite fitting for video editor

      The readme is full of compound Claudeisms, so why not ;-)

          per-shot energy

    frame-accurate

    word-pop

    reference-video

    CSS-@keyframes-animated SVGs render frame-accurately

    You should have a hosted site for this - It is entirely frontend - right?

    Cool concept, will try it out! I've had decent results with computer use operating conventional editing tools, but being able to directly edit JSON project files is a solid optimization and opens up a lot of opportunities with things like modular templating.

      Thankyou. I am planning to make it opencode friendly too.. I think that would openup versatality and more experiments..;)

      Absolutely, in fact just give it clips, voice and a reference video(optional), command it and wait untill it finishes..

    Reminds me of https://www.screenkite.com/ The AI powered video editors are fun.

      yup but I had Premier Pro and Palmier Pro in mind while making it, hence the UI.;)

    I have no use for this, however I am stunned by the simple and effective solution of using json+sse instead of an API to allow agent interaction Amazing work

    This is pretty dang cool but I guess I was hoping to see some very clever use of vision and maybe waveform analysis to give the model "eyes and ears" to edit audio and video. V2

      Yeah actually, that's a great idea, working on it ..(～￣▽￣)～

    Yeah I'm sure you need fable for the heavy reasoning task of editing tiktoks

      My impression was that they made this editor with Fable, and its JSON project structure would only serve well for manipulation by lesser models.

    I have little experience with video editing; a tool like this might be an ideal path to learn more. Thanks for creating and publishing it and sharing here!

      You aren't going to learn by having the AI do it for you...
