Bare Video

Give your agent a video.
Keep the final say.

Bare Video is an open-source editing workflow for coding agents. It is being built to transcribe footage, plan cuts, choose visual layouts, open a browser preview, and export only after you approve the edit.

01

Show the person until there is something better to show.

The speaker is the baseline. Bare Video does not cover them with graphics just because the timeline feels quiet.

02

When the sentence points somewhere, use the frame.

A demo, screenshot, or tool can take half the screen while the speaker stays present.

03

Proof gets space.

If the speaker names a repo, result, website, or screen, show the actual thing. Do not shrink evidence into a decorative card.

04

Use designed scenes when the idea earns one.

Stats, steps, comparisons, and payoffs can take over briefly. Then get out of the way.

Layouts

Seven states. No template roulette.

The agent chooses the frame from the meaning of the line. These are reusable building blocks, not seven skins for the same card.

Workflow

From footage to preview.

The current repo has the design system, workflow rules, templates, machine doctor, and agent skill. The editing engine is the next build.

  1. 01Transcribe

    Groq, Deepgram, or local faster-whisper.

  2. 02Plan cuts

    Silence creates candidates. Meaning decides.

  3. 03Build beats

    Choose layouts based on what each line is doing.

  4. 04Preview

    Open the composition in the browser.

  5. 05Export

    Render after approval.

Less decoration.
More useful frames.

Open source. Early build. Built under Bare Stack Labs.
