The AI drafted a two minute screencast from my raw screen recording

Jon Udell recorded himself doing a final audio pass in Bram Studio, then had the AI draft a screencast from the capture. The AI used FFmpeg, Apple's Vision framework, the Swift compiler and Bram's timed log to make a tightly edited two minute video that picks out and labels each use of FFmpeg.

How it works

  1. He records himself working in Bram Studio with the camera running
  2. The AI reads the capture and the timed session log
  3. The AI cuts and labels a two minute draft video using FFmpeg and Apple's Vision framework
  4. He plans to finish it in the canned app

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent did not just trim a clip. It read a raw screen capture and the session log and built an edited, labeled video of the work on its own.
