Hey, co-founder of oss.incredible.dev here. @drochetti this is an amazing project, I love the codebase and I honestly think this is the future of video production.

During the days of oss.incredible.dev we found that the biggest friction for our user in video production was themselves, It's extremely hard for anyone to come in front of a camera and record themselves, while we were able to solve for everything else like scripting, story boarding, layouts, animations, collaboration, block based recording etc it was the inability to record themselves that caused them to leave the workspace hanging. With AI, users won't have to record themselves, they can have a saved avatar and just give it a script to make it work! This was the missing puzzle.

I'm planning to revive oss.incredible.dev, but with the intention to make it AI first product. Let me know if anyone here would like to join hands.

It is quite a terrible thing if AI technology completely replaces the human with their own flaws with something that mimics human but is completely devoid of it and obediently executes the deed, reads the scripts that is fed and never fails. Yes it is more efficient this way but is this consumption geared towards humans or just to the human as cattle? Seems perfect for propaganda though.
I think about this as democratization of content creation, now people who were shy but have immense knowledge can share what they know to the world. Think about the accessibility unlock that happens with a product like this. The biggest problem we saw when we created incredible.dev was that extremely talented developers were reluctant to come in front of a camera, but they wrote amazing scripts. They knew what they were talking about, but the only blocker was themselves. This product can unlock knowledge like never before, people get to stay relevant in the fast-paced video first world.
