AI Wedding & Event Video Auto-Editor

Inspiration: "Videographer" services are expensive, yet after weddings, birthdays, or trips, people end up with hours of disorganized phone footage shot by multiple guests.

Target Customers: Newly-weds, event planners, families—anyone wanting a beautiful highlight reel from tons of raw clips.

Pain Points:

• Footage Overload: Five hours from ten phones—no clue where to start.
• Inconsistent Quality: Vertical & horizontal, long & short, blurry & over-exposed mixes.
• Pro Editing Required: Sorting clips, color-grading, stabilizing, music-sync—impossible for average users.

Solution (Micro-SaaS): “Throw everything in, get a movie back” AI editor.

MVP Core Features:

• Bulk Upload & Sharing: Users upload themselves or share a link for guests to contribute footage to the same project.
• AI Clip Analysis & Selection:
  • Quality Scoring: Drops blurry, over-exposed, shaky clips.
  • Scene Recognition: Detects ceremony, toasts, dancing, etc.
  • Emotion Detection: Finds smiles, tears, cheers—the golden moments.
• Smart Storyline Generator: Choose a style ("Romantic Cinematic," "Fun Party"); AI arranges selected clips into a logical narrative.
• Automated Post-Production:
  • Color Match: Harmonize footage from different devices.
  • Music Beat-Sync: Align cuts to chosen song’s rhythm.
• One-Click Delivery: Outputs a 5–10 min highlight film plus a “full record” long video.

Development Investment (Technical Implementation): High—compute-heavy AI analysis.

• Tech Stack:
  • Computer Vision: OpenCV + deep models (YOLO for object detection, face emotion recognition).
  • Video Processing: Massive backend FFmpeg jobs for transcode, stabilization, grading.
  • Cloud Storage & Compute: S3 + on-demand GPU instances (AWS/GCP).
