OurTake

OurTake turns a collection of clips into a film shaped by the story you want to tell. It is for people who have footage from an event but do not want to assemble a timeline by hand. Upload the clips, describe a person, process or theme to focus on, and receive a real MP4 edit. Change the perspective to build another story from the same footage. You can keep specific shots, inspect the original moments behind an edit, compare saved results and return to an earlier edit. OurTake first identifies scenes and spoken turns, then connects supported moments across the collection. It creates a story outline with source references before selecting the picture cuts. The app checks source ranges, speech timing and shot locks before FFmpeg renders the film. Speech can continue while the picture changes to another clip. When the footage does not show something requested, the outline records that gap. The current prototype runs locally in a React studio. The demo uses real Meta API results from festival footage and shows a wider view of the event becoming a participant-focused edit. The prototype does not claim automatic camera synchronization or verified person identification. The application features shown in the demo were implemented during this hackathon. The pre-existing demo footage is credited separately.
