Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?

https://matcha.video is an in-browser transcription-based video editor. Remove silence and keep only the takes that you want with just a couple clicks. Export your edits to an XML format that you can bring into FCP or Davinci Resolve to finish. Free to use, data stays on your machine.

Note: this is a WIP, so if you have any experience working with .fcpxml, I'd love to hear from you!

Very cool!

I love this. In a quick test, I noticed the transcription missed on quite a few of my "filler" words that I might want to edit out, although it did get some of them.

It took me a little while to figure out how to "edit out" words.

EDIT: Turns out should I have read the instructions before uploading my video it would have been straight forward :D

I appreciate you testing it! The whisper model that I'm using indeed doesn't seem to pick up filler words, I'll try to add those ASAP. I'd also like to add background noise removal as a preprocessing step in case the input audio isn't the cleanest.

Were you able to import the result into your editor?

Yes! DaVince Resolve 18 for me, it worked perfectly

Awesome! I think that makes you matcha's first official user. Please let me know if you have any other feature requests or use cases you'd like me to look into
