Not to be that guy but did the author essentially make their own Remotion?

pretty sure claude made this one
Sigh, too many triplet sentences.

Not enough commas. Short and punchy. This is slop.

Vaguely interesting but if there's one part of your project you need to do by hand it's the blog posts

I wholeheartedly agree. People should really continue writing in their own voice, at least at a time when you can still feel the difference.

The following sentences have ai-slop cadence

“The first render gave me something to react to.”

“Some requests were tiny[…] Others changed how a whole scene worked.”

I'll even read your post about working with Claude, the challenges you still needed to solve, the treadmill of 'we're just about there, we just need xyz'. Just write it yourself

It's a blog post. If it's not worth your time to write, it sure as hell isn't worth my time to read. Nobody's demanding this, nobody is reviewing your blog output for consistency...like what's the purpose?

Yes, understood. What I still appreciate about the AI-generated post though is that I didn't have to do all the chores: the interactive showcases that reuse the render code, organizing the dozens of videos for playback and so on. If I had just written down my excitement without the interactive part the agent turned it into, it would have missed the point, which is that you can also explore it yourself. That was the part of the post that mattered to me.
As a reader I feel disrespected when the author couldn't take the time to write down their thoughts in their own words, whether plagiarism or computer generated text. I clicked on this article hoping for a fun look at programmatic video creation and the author was only telling a robot what to do rather than actually doing it. I would rather them tell me about a video game they played because at least they wouldn't have the delusion of grandeur.
„The X never Yed” just grinds my gears
If you think about it, a video editor is just an IDE for the code of the video project file
I couldn’t finish this. Please write your own blog posts.
But why?
