FAQs
What does “programmable editing” mean in VideoDB?
It means editing is a callable API surface, not a human timeline UI. Your app or agent expresses edits as deterministic timeline operations, and VideoDB produces a playable stream or export from those operations.
Is this meant to replace tools like Adobe?
What is the core unit of editing?
Can an agent go from “find” to “edit” in one flow?
