Fun Facts

I enjoyed creating motion graphics videos using Adobe After Effects when I was an undergraduate student. At the final year of my uni, I was deeply impressed by the impact of AI productivity tools on video editing workflows.
The AI tool mentioned is the Auto Captions in CapCut by ByteDance. Most video editors prefer using professional software such as Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro. CapCut's Auto Captions allowed previously tedious subtitle work to be completed within minutes. At that time, Adobe Premiere did not launch the automatic speech recognition subtitle feature. Final Cut Pro, my favorite video editing software, still hasn't officially launched this feature. So, I created one! I developed a macOS app that provides auto captions for FCP powered by Open AI's Whisper model.
During that time, I also tried CapCut's video background removal feature - Auto cutout. Compared to Adobe After Effects' Rotobrush at that time, its cutout was extremely precise. It eliminated the hassle of manually masking frame by frame with just one click. Back then, I knew nothing about computer vision. But haha, now I have gained some understanding.
Those inspire me to pursuing a master's degree in artificial intelligence. Since then I began to develop productivity tools for video editing software.
