Introducing the VA's Open-Source Video Editing Agent: A Powerful Mix of NLP & Programming

Get ready to revolutionize video editing with Music, an open-source AI agent capable of generating code and rendering videos directly in the browser - a game-changer for personalized learning platforms and beyond!

  • * "Attention is All You Need" is a legendary paper in the field of natural language processing (NLP).
  • * O Caml is a general-purpose functional programming language that is also an imperative language and object-oriented language.
  • * Va's first open-source video editing agent was created to address the limitations of FFM p and provide a more intuitive and flexible alternative for reskilling on the Replskill platform.
  • * Remotion had unreliable service-side rendering, so the team looked for other options.
  • * Core library from Diffusion Studio was chosen due to its API that didn't require a separate rendering backend.
  • * The agent is built using the Core library and collaboration with the author of the library.
  • * The agent starts a browser session using Playright and connects to an operator UI, which is a web app designed specifically for AI agents.
  • * The video editing UI renders video directly in the browser using Web Codex API and has helper functions for transferring files from Python to the browser and back via Chromium Dev tool protocol.
  • * There are three main tools: video editing tool, doc search tool, and visual feedback tool.
  • * The video editing tool generates code based on a user prompt and runs it in the browser.
  • * If additional context is needed, the doc search tool uses RCK to pull relevant information after each execution step.
  • * Compositions are sampled at one frame per second and fed to the visual feedback tool.
  • * The visual feedback tool can act as both a generator and discriminator like in famous GAN architecture.
  • * After receiving a green light from the visual feedback tool, the agent proceeds to render the composition.
  • * Lm.txt is shipped with the agent, which serves as robots.txt for agents, and it helps users in their video editing journey when used with specific template prompts.
  • * Users can bring their own browser and run the agent, or they can let the agent connect to a remote browser session via web soet.
  • * Each agent can get a separate browser session that is GP view accelerated.
  • * A load balancer is behind the setup for balancing the load.
  • * The first version of the agent is in Python, but a TypeScript implementation is underway.
  • * The famous saying "any applications that can be written in TypeScript will be written in TypeScript" applies to this project.
  • * The collaboration between Diffusion Studio and rkill resulted in the creation of the video editing agent.
