So you are spending time shoe-horning "AI" into a web-based video editor, when you could have been creating PRs for actual video-editing functionality.

IMHO captions is not "shoe-horning AI" for video -- it's a critical requirement to be competitive with closed source editors and a great use case for local models.

  • IMHO you don't know what a video editor does. This thing doesn't need to compete with closed-source editors. Nobody is dropping Premiere for this thing. The goal shoud be web-based video editing, not AI captions. There are plenty of video editing functions not implemented yet, so if this were a serious project about video editing, spending time on "AI" captions seems a bit like a distraction for them. It sounds like there is no project manager, not a lot of focus, and the devs are following a bandwagon.

    • Hi, we are adding the top features our users are requesting. The roadmap is built for the needs of the community. We'll eventually add all the features to match a video editor once the core needs are met.

      Most of the community wants auto captions and color grading, so that goes first.
