Ask HN: What AI can you use for personal video editing?
I have tons of videos of my family and kids. I would like to be able to use AI to trim them. My 6 y/o son asked me to add effects to a video of him doing parkour, and I so badly wanted to try.
But all of the main LLM providers I tried denied my request because it was against their policy. I managed to get Runway to do a light video edit but it was limited to 8 seconds total :(
I completely get where these policies comes from, but I'm also wondering if there's something out there for people like me. I would love the ability to upload a video, give it a prompt for what to change, and voila -- has anyone found anything useful here? CapCut's AutoCut does exactly this — trims automatically based on scene changes. For the parkour effects, dig into the effects library, there's speed ramp and motion blur stuff in there. Free tier works fine but exports get a watermark. Available on mobile and desktop.
