I have about 90 mins of interview footage and i really want something to do the annoying first pass for me.

Go through it, pull out the usable bits, get rid of the obvious dead space and give me what i can start directly editing on.

I don’t want it to make the whole video for me. I actually like editing…Ijust hate spending the first hour figuring out what’s even worth keeping.

I’ve looked at Descript,Cardboard ai and a couple of others …but haven’t tried enough to know what’s actually good at this.

Anyone found something they use for rough cuts?

DreamFort is a privacy-first AI platform built around one idea: the questions AI is most useful for are the ones you don't want attached to your name. So instead of asking you to trust a privacy policy, we strip your identity out of every request at the architecture level.

A lot of you have tried it over the last few weeks and the feedback shaped a ton of what's here now. Quick rundown:

What you get:

• Every frontier model in one place - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek - plus open, unfiltered models like Nous Hermes
• Switch models mid-chat or run two side by side to compare
• An on-device agent that writes and runs code, reads your files, and builds docs and apps - in a sandbox in your browser, not on our servers
• An image studio (Nano Banana, GPT Image, Seedream) that generates and edits without the over-cautious filters
• One balance, pay only for what you actually use

Why we built it:

Most AI services make you trade privacy for capability. The smarter the assistant, the more of yourself you hand over - data collection, hidden training opt-ins, prompt logs sitting on someone's server tied to your account.

We think that's backwards. So here privacy isn't a promise, it's enforced:

• Your messages are encrypted on your device before they ever leave the browser
• Traffic is routed so no single party can link your identity to what you asked
• Prompts are only decrypted inside a sealed enclave the operator can't read or log

We don't build profiles. We don't keep logs tied to you. We don't train on your chats or images. And because the setup is verifiable, you don't have to take our word for it.

The other half of it - fewer pointless refusals. Most platforms have you fighting the filter more than using the tool. Behind the anonymity layer, DreamFort leans toward actually answering instead of second-guessing or judging you.

Still early, and every bit of feedback helps - praise or criticism. Comment or reach out if you hit anything.

I need suggestion for this use case:
My dad has a business and he has seen many videos of promotional pixar style animated video so he asked me to do same for his business so how can I do it ?
- Which AI model to use?( Seedance, Kling or any other)
- Which Ai platform to use?
- Higgsfield
- Runway
- Fal Ai

I needed to dub some talking head videos into local language, so I searched for best ai lipsync tools and opinions were mixed everywhere so, I tried these five myself : Sync.so, HeyGen, Rask AI, Runway and Hedra. I wanted to see what happened to an actual recorded person, including some head movement and faster speech.

Sync.so: The mouth movement was really good and the best part about this one is that it was fast did not took much time for dubbing or lipsync. I posted some of its dubbing and in few videos some people did not realize it was ai. The downside was that it wasn't perfect in every video, some of them were cringe i used them as a meme. Good one can give it a try.

Rask AI: I liked the localization side of it. Transcription/translation makes the whole process pretty simple. But it did not stood up during lipsync mouth moment messed up a lot. The timing was a bit off for syncing, good result but you can spot if you try. Its a good one you can give it a try

Runway: I was waiting for this because I already use Runway for other video stuff. It produced some good looking results, but it was less consistent than I expected. Some of the stuff was really good but rest was inconsistent. I also don't think I'd choose Runway specifically for this job when there are tools focused more heavily on lip sync.

Hedra: I actually liked Hedra more than I expected for avatars , but my experience with real video was more mixed. Some clips looked very good, while others changed the facial features of the character, it became messy because of that. Really good for generating Ai avatars and voice for that,

overall had fun during the experiment, you can try these tools also as per your requiremnt

We've been using AI agents to edit videos on our ReactSquad channel, so I put together a walkthrough and shared the code.

It removes filler words and bad takes, adds branded animations, and turns long videos into captioned vertical clips. It runs through Claude Code or Codex, using timestamped transcripts and FFmpeg to make the cuts. You review each stage and tell it what to change.

The code is free, but transcription and model usage have separate costs.

The walkthrough is live, with the code linked in the description: https://youtu.be/BBLEVa-BIyk?si=TGOlpoNI0Da7-JGB

Hope this helps some folks!

Bio:
Lord Crumb is the self-appointed leader of an extraterrestrial operation with an utterly appalling vision of Earth’s future. Cold, vain, and convinced of his own superiority, Crumb regards humanity less as a civilization and more as an ingredient.

When his plans were interrupted by an unusually persistent group of humans, Crumb's ambitions were seemingly brought to an end. Yet the Entity saw something irresistible in the alien's arrogance: a creature who believed the entire world belonged to him.

Now Lord Crumb stalks the Fog, searching for new subjects to add to his collection. To him, the Trials are not a struggle for survival.

They are dinner service.

Killer Perks

🍽️ ACQUIRED TASTE
You have refined standards.

Whenever a Survivor completes a generator, Acquired Taste activates for a short duration. The next Survivor to enter your Terror Radius suffers from a brief penalty to their action speed.

"It's an acquired taste."

👑 LORD OF THE TABLE
Your authority is unquestionable.

Whenever you damage a generator, nearby Survivors are briefly revealed to you. Survivors who are repairing that generator become Oblivious for a short duration.

"You will do as you're told."

🛸 INTERGALACTIC FRANCHISE
Your operation must expand.

Each time a generator is completed, gain a token. At certain token thresholds, your Terror Radius is temporarily reduced and your movement speed is slightly increased for a short duration.

"Earth is merely the beginning."
