truly the best summer ever :)

I see all these influencers recommending AI tools but no honest reviews, so I’m taking one for the team 🤝

I found both Daydream and the GitHub repo using Instagram search keywords “AI video editor”. Both are great but have their limits. My ideal solution is one that edits my CapCut timeline. AI video editors usually export in XML file to continue editing in a video editor software but CapCut requires JSON. I’m going to test out Descript.

The raw video used in this demo is live (see previous Reel) and raw cuts made entirely by Daydream.

Lmk if you have a great AI video editor recommendation!

If you want to try them out yourself, comment “editor” for the links :)

I get that scripting is hard and takes time, but at least edit what AI spits out so sounds more natural, like a human aka you wrote it, and blink more

005: Lesson learned - Always test my own products upon receiving them. Mistakes happen. I definitely prefer doing this to slaving away at a desk coding all day.

003: Just another Sunday ☺️ Funny how the order came through while we were chatting about growing and evolving. I believe that, as humans, we aren’t meant to stay in one career, business, mindset for the rest of our lives. If we’re not changing for the better, then what is life?

You’re in the middle of your movie, and you’ll look back one day and realize how you needed to go through this to grow as a person and achieve your goals

I’m happy I get to enjoy what my dad enjoyed when he first immigrated to Chinatown from Hong Kong in the 70s :)

Lmk what other delicious food I should try in NYC!
