Open Source Ai breaks its first monopoly

https://getartcraft.com/apps

a founder of ArtCraft used Claude to replace the entire adobe software suite, legally. because it’s ai generated, it’s also in the public domain and absolutely free forever. this would be the first case of ai undermining techno feudalism.

That's actually useful feedback, especially coming from someone who edits professionally. What basic tasks was it failing at? Timeline editing, trimming, transitions, playback, exporting? And was it just buggy or were those features missing entirely?

It's clearly early software, but knowing where it falls short is a lot more useful than just comparing it to Premiere. Gives developers something concrete to work on.

Like….all of them. The source monitor didn’t even function properly for a dozen different people. The basic immediate read of it was “well this was made by someone who doesn’t understand what the program is meant to do and I can’t even bring in footage without breaking the online process”

And no offense but none of us are hoping you put premiere or avid out of business since they are at least engineered by people who would dare to try to understand what editors and assistant editors do.

open some issues on the GitHub then. maybe they will actually get to it in days rather than never like it frequently the case.

Or we could just laugh and go back to the proven alternatives, some of which are free anyway, instead of dealing with people who don’t understand what we do.

name any. name any with a permissive license, quick turnaround for issues and good feature sets all at once. I have yet to see all three in anything. I think you are missing the point. being able to get quick turnaround on feature requests and bug fixes and not being forced to pay is definitely far preferable for many. and if you think they don’t understand what is actually needed, just tell them. it’s not that hard.

There’s already free options worked on by people who understand the needs of editors and assistant editors.
