IntentCut is an AI-powered storytelling director that helps creators transform raw video footage into a meaningful, editable first cut.

Video editing often starts with hours of reviewing footage, identifying useful moments, and figuring out how to tell a coherent story. IntentCut aims to reduce that repetitive groundwork while keeping creators in control.

Built around Meta's multimodal AI models, IntentCut uses Muse Spark 1.3 to analyze footage in temporal segments, identify meaningful moments, and generate structured editorial observations that guide storyboard creation and editing decisions. These plans are validated before being executed through an FFmpeg-based rendering pipeline, producing real, playable MP4 videos.

Beyond automated storytelling, IntentCut includes an AI Visuals workflow powered by Muse Image, designed to support image generation, editing, and custom project covers. The project also explores SAM 3.1 for subject-aware video reframing, with local crop rendering implemented and model-powered tracking integration still in development.

The system supports persistent projects, media management, reviewable editing decisions, and draft revisions. Its architecture combines Next.js, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, background workers, and reliable media processing.

IntentCut is not designed to replace professional editing software. It brings together AI-powered understanding, creative assistance, and practical editing tools to make storytelling faster, more accessible, and easier to refine.

Our vision is simple: AI should help creators tell better stories, not take creative control away from them.
