Trying to learn video processing by writing a program that edits my videos (lol).

My Editing Software (Adobe Premiere): https://goo.gl/rKx66D
Source Code for this project: https://github.com/DevonCrawford/Video-Editing-Automation

The goal is to build algorithmic building blocks that a human video editor can use in place of their manual labor. This means a partially-autonomous editing workflow, where the human can strategically use the toolkit of algorithms to achieve their desired results. This project uses the FFmpeg library to handle much of the heavy lifting of video processing and intends to build a library on top of FFmpeg without changing the FFmpeg source code. I have many ideas for future algorithms that can be implemented, so let me know if you're interested in this kind of development!

Also note, this was only three weeks of work. The code is not fully tested or documented (the source code is commented though). The random editing function is just a demo to showcase the clip and sequence functionality (cutting clips and stitching them together in a sequence). I was genuinely surprised to see how well the random function performed. I thought it was going to be awful but it wasn't that awful. I would love to use AI in this project, but I've never done AI so I figured I would get a solid base in video/image processing first.

Writing a Program that Edits my Videos

Learning Backend Web Development in C# by writing my first Microservice. Github repository data is pulled into my database every 10 minutes so that we can display a near realtime software portfolio on my website. In the future we will also add more data to my database so that project pages can be automatically generated (with articles and images etc)

The goal was to build a scalable background microservices architecture, where I can easily write new services independently and then seamlessly plug them into my server on a Cron schedule. I spent most of this video reading documentation and learning ASP .NET Core, Hangfire, Microsoft Entity Framework, object mappers and how to best organize my services to easily extend them in the future. I have found a solution that works well for me, only requiring two lines of code to add a service to my scheduler. This is me learning through doing. Roughly 20 hours of coding went into this video. See below for technologies used in more detail.

Learning a new Programming Language | Developer Vlog (Backend Microservices)

I'm confused. Watch till the end of the video.

Occasionally I work on a project only to scrap it so I wanted to show you one example. From the outside it may appear that a developer is some genius guy who can make whatever he wants. Although this is partially true (engineering is magic), many of you don't see all of the time spent just thinking and reading... All of the footage I capture is usually the by-product of countless hours of thinking. Over the past month I've worked on many new things - react, I2C driver programming and containerization with docker. It's just reminded me how large the technology stack is and everyone is a beginner at some level of the stack. I feel like I haven't made much progress in the past month because I've been a beginner at a lot of new things :) This is the reality and I needed a YouTube vid so I figured I would talk about it.
