I wanted to see if I could build a workflow that feels more like a conversation than a chore.</p> <p>The Project: Heavenclip<br> I’m building Heavenclip, a "Chat-to-Edit" AI video editor. Instead of a traditional timeline, the workflow is simple:</p> <p>Upload your raw footage.</p> <p>Answer a few prompts about what you need.</p> <p>The AI handles the rest—silence removal, blurring, and reframing.</p> <p>Why I’m here<br> I’m currently in the beta phase and looking for:</p> <p>UI/UX Feedback: Is a conversational interface actually better than a timeline?</p> <p>Feature Ideas: What "boring" editing task should I automate next?</p> <p>Connections: I’d love to connect with other builders in the AI and media space.</p> <p>I'd love for you to check it out at heavenclip.com and give me your most "brutal" feedback. I’m here to learn and improve!**</p> ai productivity showdev sideprojects
