we took a basic example and described it. (will try adding a complex one)

we have our designer/intern in our minds who creates shorts, adds subtiles, crops them,and merges the audio generated. He is aware of ffmpeg and prefers using a SaaS UI on top of it.

However, we see him hanging out on chatgpt, or gemini all the time. He is literally the no coder we have in mind.

We just combined his type what you want + ffmpeg workflows.

Wouldn't that intern just use an NLE (be it Premiere, Davinci Resole etc) anyway? If you need to style subtitles and edit shorts and video content, you'll need a proper editor anyway.

1. download a larger video from s3. 2. Use NLE and cut it into shorts. (crop, resize, subtitles etc.) 3. Upload shorts on YouTube, Instagram, Tiktok.

He does use davinci resolve but only for 2.

NLEs make ffmpeg a standalone yet easy to use tool.

Not denying that major heavy lifting is done by the NLE. We go a step ahead and make it embeddable in a larger workflow.
