Inspiration

Creators and professional videos are desperate for tooling to cut videos faster and better. Lots of routines and automation in the process.

What it does

Non-linear-editor with ai agent.

How we built it

Next.JS + AI Elements + Claude Agent SDK

Challenges we ran into

The claude agent is dumb af.

We used mastra ai framework previously, which had lots of features but I like what claude agent has as a base level.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Connect it to SQL, the current video editing project.

What we learned

Context management is crucial. Too much system prompts make the agent dumb and hard coded. It will not be able to receive feedback.

I tried devin local, GLM-5.2, SWE-1.6 Fast. Devin Desktop codemaps and deepwiki are great.

Unfortunately, did not get the rough cut tool to work properly.

What's next for Flashcut, an ai video editing assistant

Testing with more video editing workflows, making the agent more adaptive.
