AI Video Editing
We built an automated video-editing workflow for Rick Hammel that replaces costly manual edits. The system removes silences, cuts filler words, adds subtitles, and delivers polished talking-head videos automatically. This automation now handles the full editing process end-to-end, saving both time and $20 - $30 per video.
The Problem
Rick Hammel (a realtor in California) was paying a freelancer anywhere from $20-$30 for a basic, one-minute talking head video edit.
The Solution
Our solution can do basic edits like: adding subtitles, removing silences from a talking head video and removing filler words like “uh”, “ahh” and “umm”.
Technology Used
How It Works
1) On form submission: The workflow triggers when someone clicks submit.
2) Searches the drive for all the video files uploaded.
3) Loops over all the video files one by one.
4) Downloads and saves video locally
5) Checks the file type. If it is an MOV file, it converts it to an MP4 file.
6) Extracts the audio. Generates transcription and parses it.
7) Detects silences. Reads and parses the silence log.
8) Creates video segments based on time stamps.
9) Combines segments list and concatenates video
10) Generates word subtitles and burns captions in the video
11) Uploads final video on google drive
12) Loops again and checks if there are more videos remaining to edit. If not, then it sends an email with a notification saying all the edits are complete.
