Hey! I’m building a browser-based video editor where you create videos by writing a simple JSON script instead of using a timeline. Think of it as “video as code,” but accessible to everyone. I just need some validation before doing all-in.
The Concept:
A split-screen editor where you define scenes, text, and animations in JSON on the left and see a live preview on the right. Crucially, an AI assistant could generate this JSON script from a simple text prompt, turning your ideas into a video template instantly.
This approach avoids the steep learning curve of pro tools (like After Effects) and the creative limitations of template-based sites (like Canva). It’s like Remotion, but without needing a local coding environment.
The goal is to empower developers and tech-savvy marketers to programmatically generate or rapidly customize videos at scale.
