🤖 AI Video Generator Agent

Project Vision: To redefine the landscape of digital content creation by building a revolutionary AI Video Generator Agent. This system moves beyond the cumbersome and time-consuming nature of traditional video editing software, transforming the entire process into a fluid, creative conversation.

Our core philosophy is to empower creators to transition from being "tool operators" to "creative directors." Instead of manipulating timelines and keyframes, users will direct our sophisticated Maestro Agent through natural language chat. Whether starting from a single idea, refining hours of raw footage, or emulating a complex visual style, the agent acts as an intelligent co-pilot, handling the technical complexities so creators can focus purely on their story and vision.

This document provides a comprehensive overview of the agent's functionality, its intended use cases, and the core concepts that power its intelligence.

✨ Core Functionality in Detail

The Maestro Agent is not just a tool; it's a comprehensive video production studio powered by AI. Its capabilities are designed to handle every stage of the creation process.

1. Conversational Creation & Direction

This is the primary interface for creation. The agent is designed to understand and execute commands ranging from simple instructions to complex, multi-layered project briefs.

• From Zero to First Draft: Start with a simple prompt and watch the agent build a video from scratch.
  • Simple Prompt: "Create a 30-second video about the benefits of hydration with some relaxing visuals and upbeat music."
  • Complex Prompt: "Generate a 10-minute documentary on 'Sustainable Architecture,' include interviews with experts if available in our assets, find some modern B-roll of green cities, and ensure the tone is optimistic and inspiring."
• Iterative Refinement: The initial draft is just the beginning. Every aspect of the video can be modified through conversation. You can change pacing, swap out clips, rewrite text, adjust colors, and alter the entire structure, all through follow-up chat commands.
• Contextual Awareness: The agent maintains conversational memory, so it understands follow-up requests without needing constant re-explanation. If you've just discussed a scene, a simple command like "make it shorter" will be understood in the correct context.

2. Intelligent Editing of Raw Footage (The "AI Editor")

This is one of the most powerful features of the system, designed to save creators hundreds of hours in post-production. The agent can ingest long, unedited videos and distill them into polished, compelling stories.

• Deep Content Understanding: Before editing, the system generates a detailed Video Asset Analysis Schema (VAAS) for each raw video file. This analysis provides the agent with deep insights, including:
  • A full, time-stamped transcript of all spoken words.
  • Identification of different speakers (speakerDiarization).
  • Detection of speech imperfections like filler words (ums, ahs), long pauses, and stutters.
  • Identification of repeated sentences or phrases, flagging potential retakes.
  • Analysis of speaker engagement through pace and energy metrics.
  • Detection of visual elements, on-screen text (OCR), and scene changes.
• Automated Rough Cuts & Summarization: You can give high-level commands to transform raw footage.
  • Example Use Case: A user uploads a 40-minute, single-take tutorial video.
    1. User Prompt: "Take this tutorial on 'Advanced Photo Editing' and turn it into a tight, 10-minute guide. Remove all my mistakes and silences, and make it engaging."
    2. Maestro Agent's Process:
       • It queries the VAAS to identify all speechImperfections (silences > 2s, 50+ filler words) and retakeDetection groups.
       • It flags segments with low speakerEngagementScore or poor visualQuality as candidates for removal.
       • It identifies keyMoments where the user successfully demonstrated a feature or explained a core concept.
       • It then assembles a new video timeline in the Living Video Blueprint (LVB) using only the best, most concise segments, creating a polished 10-minute version.

3. Interactive Visual Editing & Refinement

While chat is powerful, we understand the need for visual control. Our unified Interactive Viewer/Editor provides a seamless bridge between conversational commands and direct visual feedback.

• Unified Interface: A single, cohesive view combines a high-fidelity Remotion video player with a powerful, interactive timeline.
• Visual Blueprint Representation: The timeline visually represents the LVB's structure. You can see your scenes, layers, and individual elements (video clips, text, images) laid out chronologically, making it easy to understand how your video is constructed.
• "Select and Command" Workflow: This is the core interaction model for precise editing.
  1. Select: Click on an element directly in the video player (e.g., a title card) or on its corresponding clip in the timeline.
  2. Contextualize: The UI confirms your selection in an "Active Prompt Bar," so you and the agent both know what you're referring to.
  3. Command: Use natural language to issue a command. The agent will use your selection as the primary target for the action.
     • (After selecting a text element) -> "Change the font to 'Montserrat' and make it bold."
     • (After selecting a video clip in the timeline) -> "Replace this clip with a different shot of the same subject."
     • (After selecting a scene) -> "Apply a 'cross-dissolve' transition into this scene."

4. Advanced Style & Tone Emulation

The Maestro Agent can act as a stylistic expert, applying complex genre conventions or emulating the look and feel of well-known creators.

• Interpreting Abstract Requests: The agent's StyleAndToneAnalysisModule translates abstract requests into concrete editing parameters.
  • User Prompt: "Make the whole video feel like a Vox explainer."
  • Agent's Interpretation: The agent accesses its knowledge base or uses its LLM's world knowledge to understand that "Vox explainer" style often implies:
    • Pacing: Fast, with frequent use of graphics and text overlays.
    • Graphics: Clean, bold text animations, often with highlights or annotations.
    • Music: Upbeat, modern, and often electronic or lo-fi beats.
    • Structure: A clear narrative arc (question, explanation, conclusion).
• Applying Style Profiles: The agent then applies these parameters to the LVB, adjusting default transition types, suggesting appropriate music, formatting text elements, and even influencing the pacing of cuts.

5. Automated Multi-Source Synchronization

For complex projects like interviews, tutorials, or podcasts with multiple cameras, the agent automates the tedious task of synchronization.

• Use Case: A user uploads a 45-minute facecam recording and a 42-minute screen recording that were started and stopped at different times.
• Agent's Process:
  1. Both video files are analyzed, and VAAS data is generated.
  2. The Maestro Agent queries the synchronizationCues within both VAAS files.
  3. It looks for common, sharp audio events (like a hand clap if present, or the start of a specific, unique sentence) that exist in both audio tracks.
  4. By matching the precise timestamps of these common cues, it calculates the exact offset between the two recordings.
  5. It then constructs the LVB with the facecam and screen recording on different layers, perfectly aligned in time.
