VideEdit - AI-Powered Collaborative Video Editor

A revolutionary video editing platform that combines Git-like version control with AI-powered editing assistance, enabling collaborative video production at scale.

🎯 Vision

VideEdit reimagines video editing as a collaborative, version-controlled workflow similar to how developers collaborate on code using GitHub. Multiple editors can work on the same project simultaneously, branch off for experimental edits, and merge changes seamlessly.

✨ Key Features

🔄 Git-Like Version Control

• Commits: Save snapshots of your timeline at any point
• Branches: Create parallel timelines for experimental edits
• Merge: Intelligently combine edits from multiple collaborators
• History: Track every change with full rollback capability
• Diff Visualization: See exactly what changed between versions

🤝 Real-Time Collaboration

• Live Editing: Multiple editors work simultaneously on the same project
• Presence Indicators: See who's editing what in real-time
• Comments & Reviews: Discuss specific clips, effects, or timing
• Conflict Resolution: Smart merge tools handle overlapping edits
• Permissions: Fine-grained access control (view, edit, admin)

🤖 AI-Powered Editing

• Scene Detection: Automatically segment video into scenes
• Auto-Transcription: Generate captions and searchable transcripts
• Smart Recommendations: AI suggests music, transitions, and pacing
• Object Recognition: Tag and search video content automatically
• Color Grading: AI-assisted color correction and grading
• Background Removal: One-click background replacement
• Super Resolution: Upscale video quality using ML

🎬 Professional Video Editor

• Multi-Track Timeline: Unlimited video, audio, and effect tracks
• Effects Library: Transitions, filters, and custom effects
• Keyframe Animation: Precise control over effect parameters
• Audio Mixing: Multi-track audio with effects and EQ
• Export Presets: Optimized exports for different platforms
