Brief

@levelsio built a web video editor into Photo AI that generates likeness-based video clips and assembles them on a timeline. The app adds a conversational AI Agent to accept high-level directives, auto-write prompt scripts, generate and auto-edit footage, and let users regenerate individual clips in-place; he used it to make a short film of arriving in Bangkok set to Lorn's 'The Slow Blade.'

Why it matters

@levelsio integrated a fully functional web video editor into Photo AI that can generate videos featuring your likeness or trained models; he claims 'likeness in video models is now good enough.'

Key details

  • Photo AI adds a 'Send to video editor' workflow (solving the common ~10-second clip limit on many platforms), an AI Agent sidebar to take commands like 'make a short film of me in Bangkok' which writes prompt scripts and auto-edits generated clips, and an in-timeline right-click 'Regenerate' to replace bad clips in place.
  • He used the new editor to produce a short cinematic film of himself arriving in Bangkok as a digital nomad, featuring Lorn's song 'The Slow Blade.'

All this talk about AGI destroying moats and everything made me want to ship again

One of the conclusions from all of you was, if you can use AI to ship faster and better, you should just ship way more complex things, like things you could not imagine making before

For me personally I'd never imagine making Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro or Capcut but on the web, it'd simply be too difficult for me, where do I even start?

So today I just tried and vibecoded them into Photo AI!

A fully functional video editor but the cool twist is this one can actually generate videos with you or your trained models in it directly in your video editor

I'm personally less interested in the AI influencers etc, but more fun to make actual kinda cinematic short films with yourself and other people in it, so I made this

Likeness in video models is now good enough so that gives lots of cool opportunities, but most AI platforms just let you generate 10 second clips but then you're stuck with that and have to put it together yourself in Final Cut Pro

So now you can just [ Send to video editor ] inside Photo AI and you end up here

And the next thing I'll add is the AI Agent sidebar I have in Photo AI's main app too, which lets an agent take control of the interface. In this case you'll be able to say "make a short film of me in Bangkok", it'll ask you some questions, then write a script of prompts, which are then generated as videos with you or other people as the actors in it and automatically edited into a short film on your time

Then you can right click on any video you don't like (some videos just suck or have bad resemblance to you, shit happens), and click [ Regenerate], adjust the prompt a bit and the new video will show up in the same place on your video timeline

In this case I did try to make a short film of me arriving in Bangkok as a digital nomad the first time and being dazed, lost and disillusioned as I am on the other side of the world 🤯
