@mariodev__ Kiru is in fact a desktop app written in Rust!
I just have a lite browser version but mainly as a gateway so that folks can try it out before installing something
The main product is a desktop application however, which means I can use native APIs and frameworks.

@dreamsofcode_io What is your reasoning behind going web instead of app? I work with video heavily on the web and the amount of things you need to consider is huge, not sure about local app though XD i guess it has its own caveats too.

If you send me an email from this, I’ll be blocking you and reporting your email domain as spam.
Stop using A.I. to make other peoples lives worse.

Today we're introducing the world's first influencer Agent. Tell it what you want to promote and it finds creators, reaches out, manages campaigns, handles payments, and gets content live. Try it now at okara.ai/influencer

@LewisMenelaws It’s also incredibly obvious as well.
I no longer just ignore, I block and report as spam.
English
I get so many emails daily that are clearly AI Agents trying to get me to do paid posts.
Ignore every time.

Yes. You should be able to click the zoom effect and modify its properties (there’s a bug currently where you’ll need to open the effects panel, should be fixed in the next release).
As for approaching those, until I build them in, it’s probably best to export to another editor to add them manually at first. I normally export to Resolve and then add in the polish there.
I don’t have CapCut support added yet, but I should. I’ll focus on that today and cut the next version.
English
@dreamsofcode_io I tried it exactly for that and I love it. One question: can I play with the amount of zoom on cuts?
And a question: how should I approach the effects / transitions / sound effects system that Capcut has?
English
Very bad.
- cut-zooms are the worst thing I've ever seen
- looks vibe-coded
- took me 7 hours (?)
p.s: my flow (and shots) are also quite bad, but that does not excuse the bad edit
p.s.2: i think if i put in the time to generate me some primitives, it can work, but it will still not have the soul it'd otherwise have, if i edit it myself

editing with claude right now i can see it working out, but it just looks so... "professional"...? it kinds of turns me off :/ i think i prefer "low effort" edits that are intentional and hit (?) i'll post the result in a few hours i think
English
@mbvlabs Haha, you’re right it does 🤣
Not sure my body can take the cortisol though forever
English
@dreamsofcode_io Worst part is, getting angry with the LLM actually seems to work
English
@kuberdenis Let me know how you get on!
Right now it’s best for auto cutting and placing b-roll in a rough cut manner.
I’m currently building keyframe animations and a proper effects system, followed by then adding in motion graphics after.
English
@wesbos @SnazzyLabs I’ve found it to be very good for also placing shots in the correct place, which normally takes a lot of time.
You’re correct in that it’s terrible for creativity, but once you have all the b-roll and a-roll together, it’s very good at being able to save a lot of tedium.
English
The huge limitation of AI video editing is that it's all based on transcripts and they end up being powerpoints of word you are saying.
Good video has complimentary narration + visuals, without narrating the obvious. @SnazzyLabs is a good example - the b-roll visuals add so much without saying anything.
AI can make the technical bits, colour grade, chop the silences, re-order and remove takes, add chapters, fill in lower 3rds. It's GREAT at that - I'm a heavy user.
But just with design, I've yet to see anything good edited by AI

Lots of people asked how I used Fable to edit its own launch video so I made a video about that! TLDR it wrote a lot of code & tool calls to use transcription services, ffmpeg, do colorgrading, use the figma mcp, make remotion UI and render it. I didn't touch a video editor.
English
@dreamsofcode_io Seems like an opportunity to more confidently ask AI to implement in rust code.
English
I hate to say it, but with all of the Rust rewrites we’re seeing (and going to keep seeing)
Now is the perfect time to learn Rust.
(especially lower level Rust)
English
@mtrantalainen @esrtweet In the past I was more one shot, now I’m much more involved as I kept running into correctness issues.
TDD also helps with getting the correctness sound. Especially red green refactor
English
@dreamsofcode_io @esrtweet Do you try to one-shot the whole implementation at that point? Or do you write accurate prompt for each unimplemented part asking for specific algorithm etc and specifically ask for atomic commit, too?
English
@esrtweet @dreamsofcode_io For web applications would you use rust or go?
English
Is it me or did Codex 5.5 suddenly get better in the last 24 hours 👀
English
@cooldevcoding It does both!
The detection algorithm is deterministic and so is the processing.
Then it has MCP support and an internal agent to be able to perform A.I. based tasks (auto placing b-roll for example)
English
@dreamsofcode_io Does kiru.app work with AI editing or does it use something else/another way to apply edits?
English
Editing video with AI keeps heating up

English
@mtrantalainen @esrtweet I much prefer to write out the initial design and layout, then add unimplemented!() macros.
Once I have the general structure designed that’s when I’ll get an LLM to fill in the implementation.
English
@esrtweet @dreamsofcode_io Even though I learned Rust the old way, I agree. As long as you are fluent enough reader and understand what the AI generated code does, and request atomic commits from AI, it's all good.
English
@mtrantalainen @esrtweet Of course, but using AI isn’t difficult in my opinion.
English
@dreamsofcode_io @esrtweet I'd argue that ability to do the same task by hand *and* then using AI to boost your productivity is even better.
If you couldn't do the same thing manually, then it's just a skill issue when you depend on AI.
English
@PEpigone There’s a type of humor that’s very popular in the U.K. called “ironic humor”
“I hate to say it” is me being ironic.
English
@dreamsofcode_io Hard to imagine you hate to say it when you announced your excitement for Rust as a year long project. Perhaps you should give it another year before you "hate to say it"?
English
Fair on the skills, I agree results can vary based on the operator.
However, I believe you still need a base understanding of a language and frameworks to know when/if the LLM has gone off the rails, especially with code correctness in a programming language, or with correctness in an implementation.
English
> Do you believe there’s any skill to making A.I. sing and dance?
Absolutely takes skill to get what you want out of AI, and it *mostly* doesn't look like knowing any particular language.
> LLMs love to write code that works, not necessarily code that’s correct.
Not to be that guy, but this is a skill issue pointing at the first question.
They will definitely go off the rails, and knowing how to keep them on the rails is more important than knowing any particular esoteric thing.. because they've read it all too.
