A first edit from local assets
This prototype adapts OpenCut for assembling clips, captions, and effects into a rough cut for short-form video. OpenCut provides the editor foundation; the experiment was the local assembly workflow and planned handoff to CapCut.
Where it stopped
Local assembly worked, but the handoff into a finishing editor was not completed. The prototype is archived, and the public repository preserves that version.
The problem it explored
Starting every video from an empty timeline repeats a lot of setup. This experiment explored which parts of the first edit could be assembled in advance, leaving the finishing editor for timing and final adjustments.
