AI-Native Video Editing Software Development

You are building SupaCut, an AI-native video editing platform that allows users to generate professional video edits from natural language instructions. As a backend-focused full-stack developer, your main responsibility will be to implement the core production-ready video rendering pipeline. This project is not design-heavy, and the UI will be minimal and purely functional, with the primary focus on building a stable rendering system for video processing. **Core Responsibilities:** - Implement the backend system that: - Accepts uploaded video files - Processes editing instructions from structured JSON - Uses Remotion to generate motion graphics inserts - Uses FFmpeg to stitch clips, captions, and overlays - Renders the final video output (MP4) - Returns the rendered video to the user **Required Features:** - Support the following: - Video upload - Render job creation - Queue-based video rendering - Motion graphics inserts (Remotion) - Caption overlays - Video stitching using FFmpeg - Exporting final MP4 **Frontend Scope (Minimal):** - Develop a simple functional interface with the following features: - Upload video - Enter editing prompt / JSON spec - Start render job - View render progress - Download finished video UI design is not required, only functionality is needed. **Tech Stack:** - TypeScript - Remotion - FFmpeg - React / (minimal UI) - Docker - Cloud storage (R2 / S3 compatible) **Deliverables:** - Working Remotion rendering pipeline - FFmpeg composition pipeline - API endpoints for render jobs - Minimal React interface to trigger renders - Dockerized environment for deployment **Ideal Candidate:** - Experience with: - FFmpeg video processing - Remotion - Backend systems - React / - Docker - Bonus: Experience with video editing software or media pipelines **Project Scope:** - Focus on building the first production-ready version of the rendering pipeline. - Potential for ongoing work and additional milestones if collaboration goes well. **Budget:** - Fixed price: $400$600 - Contract duration of 1 to 3 months **Mandatory Skills:** - Artificial Intelligence - Remotion - FFmpeg - JavaScript - Video Processing - Python - Docker You are building SupaCut, an AI-native video editing platform that allows users to generate professional video edits from natural language instructions.
