Show HN: FableCut – A browser video editor AI agents can drive (zero deps)

Guess it is efficient for attention.

is "Notepad" a bigco IP project name?

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

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

noted.

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

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

What's the benefit of SSEs here?

That was the goal. Thankyou btw.

I couldn't find a skill in your project that would help integrate mediabunny. The docs and examples look like they could really help. Having good example coverage allows agents to pickup libraries easily.

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

What do you think the next update will be about..^_~

My pleasure. If you have any ideas, lets connect and make it more helpfuul!!

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

almost! the editor/compositor is fully browser side, but the server is doing real work: project.json lives on disk (thats the whole point, any agent or script can edit it and fs.watch + sse hot reloads the ui), plus ffmpeg for the final export encode. so it needs the local server for the actual workflow.

a hosted demo mode is a good idea though, project in localstorage + sample footage + mediarecorder export would let people feel the editor without cloning. the one thing it cant show is the main trick, watching an external agent rebuild your timeline live, since theres no local file for it to edit. might do a stripped demo build if theres interest

On it sir.

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

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