recording-to-video-essay

jxnlby jxnl1 month ago277

Turn a raw talking-head recording or voiceover into a tight video essay with word-level timing, clean cuts, captions, and timed image overlays. Use when someone wants to edit a spoken recording, remove pauses and false starts, keep the speaker's words and order, add B-roll or screenshots, or use FFmpeg and Remotion to make a preview and final video.
