I would like someone to make either a voice controlled or gesture based video editor. I have not seen a single one for obvious reasons. Voice controlled would go like "OK search for the input.mp4 file " and drag it at 2 seconds "Now, play at 5x speed from 1 minute" "After a few seconds, you say stop and it stops at that frame" "Cut it here" "Now go 4 mins ahead" "Stop, cut it here" Imagine a video editor where you dont even need the mouse and keyboard

oh we already did try that :) see this demo video I posted to X (https://x.com/_RobinRoy/status/1938676070452207786)

*this is text based but I hope you get the point

text based is too slow and too much typing, it ll take off only if it is real time voice based

yeah sure, we'll add it to the roadmap. But do you think "speaking"/"typing" the basic instructions is better than actually doing it through the UI?

I feel like for basic interactions like dragging etc, it is better if the user does it by hand. AI can handle complicated workflows like removing silences, quickly removing unwanted background elements etc
