I started tinkerin with the idea of automated video editing in 2023, after a Tiktok agency in Estonia proposed the idea to me. I used the OG of LLMs: GPT-4 to make edits to the code I was also writing manually at the time(crazy, I know! ) Made a really rough prototype in 2 weeks... The AI models at the time could barely edit videos and analyze video frames, but it did produce something somewhat coherent - unfortunately , not good enough for an agency who sold their content creation services for 150 bucks a pop. 2+ years later, after quitting the project 3x times, and spending billions of tokens testing, I managed to put together a production ready Agentic AI Video Editor using manual coding + Claude Opus and Codex (Noo, not fully vibe codedd :S ). - it kind of looks like a regular video editor, except there is NO timeline. Latest AI models are getting really good at generating videos (lol, remember Will Smith eating spaghetti) and auto-editing! I believe we are roughly ~1-2 years away from AI agents that can create & edit videos better than most humans. Shorz - coming soon. Free to use with your own API keys: - Generate faceless (Youtube) videos - Generate slidershow videos - Generate avatar/UGC videos - Generate avatar podcast videos(with your own face & voice) - Generate short form content - Copy existing videos - Generate youtube thumbnails The vision for Shorz is simple - create ANY type of video from a single prompt/script (yes, even movies perhaps!)

@heyblake shorz.ai - just made some updates on the landing page.

Fork it Drop your homepage URL I'll give 1 fix to as many as I can

@trust_mrr Hey can you please allow setting custom price - i dont have MRR recent 30 days, so I basically cant set a normal price for this over 30 dollars.

🔥 AI voice calls by @rtkatsenko recently got 3 interested buyers ($15 asking) trustmrr.com/startup/ai-voi…

Yes,you need a single API key from aimlapi.com, which hosts ALL of the AI models that Shorz uses to turn scripts to video, or any other functionality. The reason is - you dont need to pay a monthyl subcription for Shorz and you can use it by paying per usage/credits instead directly to API provider. Essentially you can use Shorz for free with your own API key, but there is watermark on generations.

@RTkatsenko @ardent__dev What do you mean by bring your own API key. Would it affect the process of Turning script to video. If yes. Please explain the reason

@remy_gaskell @Emarky u might wanna check out shorz.ai

@Emarky need this

This video was edited entirely by Claude Code. I just gave it the files. If 50 people comment, I'll share the exact setup.

@JoseMBuilds @Emarky Not claude, but you might want to try shorz.ai

@Emarky Nice! Share the setup please!🙌

@CryptoVonDoom @Emarky Try shorz.ai

@Emarky plz share

@mikerogero @Emarky Everything solved already, try shorz.ai

@Emarky Need to add in adding multiple language voice sync on the output so you are creating several high value market options from the final output.

@h3krish @Emarky yeah, no. LLMs can do it. This is just a bad example on it.

@Emarky How can an AI edit videos: Because, a video usually 500MB-1GB For an AI to analyse the video and add the b rolls, cuts, trim the video it is so hard and consumes a lot of power. Video editing is an art only humans can do.

@deadlinedom @Emarky Its a skill issue, Try shorz.ai

@Emarky far from Publish ready, but it's a damn good step. The "steps" just start and cut off midway, the words cut etc. It just doesn't get the timing right. But soon it will, and it'll be glorious

@leoclark @Emarky Try shorz.ai

@Emarky Pretty cool! I would add: an audio dissolve on the cuts (2 frames), music, and a lower third when you start. Nice one and please share 🙏

@AnonArchy @Emarky Try shorz.ai

@Emarky Share it please!

@LibratusOmni @Emarky try shorz.ai

@Emarky man i want this. i want to do a vlog for my family lol that would be amazing

LLM-s can edit if you give it a massive high level instructions on how to edit stuff + video frames(not just trsanscript). By default if you just say "edit this video" it will suck, ovbiously. It needs identity, specific instructions how to arrange, cut clips, where to add broll, for how long etc. I have been working on this for the past 2 years since the original gpt4. The older models could barely edit anything. Now, we are very close to good editing by AI. It still does make some mistakes as there is a random factor, but its already good for most use-cases and you probably couldnt tell it was edited by AI, if not told. Here is the app i have been working on to automate video editing. shorz.ai

@buildwithshyam I simulate the idea in my head and run split tests within the simulation.

How do you validate your idea? 🤔 A. Build MVP B. Landing page + waitlist C. Talk to users D. I don’t validate 😅

@alexoakdev Hey can you help me with ideas to scale shorz.ai

My new app just did 100M organic views in the first 2 months. Paid ads are at 4x ROAS, will start to scale that up too now. Our team and system is so fucking cracked, it's actually insane. Excited to see how far we can take this. If you want to join the team, send me a dm.

@Jashanx_gill One app a year

How many apps you want to build this year?

@stitchbygoogle GG, killed another 500 startups with this. Looks INSANE!

@RealProductGirl I am building shorz.ai for automated video editing.

I NEED my feed full of builders. What are you working on right now? I don't care if it's a startup or a weekend side project. If you're building something, I want you on my timeline. Reply and let's connect. 👇

Thanks Mark! To be clear - I am not actively working on this and not running any ads right now, but the platform itself has full functionality to handle any type of inbound and outboundcalls, with scheduling, knowledge base, MCP tools, SMS, email and everything integreated that a business might need. You can make an offer! I need funds for shorz.ai
