The Problem

Video editors spend 80% of their time on repetitive cuts, color matching, and caption timing. The creative decisions — the actual art — get buried under technical execution. Prometheus removes the boilerplate so filmmakers can focus on the story.

What I Built

AI Video Pipeline

Transcription (AssemblyAI), content classification, style profiling, caption segmentation, subtitle generation with domain-specific animation (business = pop-up/elastic, lifestyle = fade-in/power2, cinematic = zoom-out/power3).

AssemblyAI · Groq · Python

GPU Render Orchestration

Modal warm pools (keep_warm + memory snapshots), RunPod Serverless for RTX 4090 bursts. Cold start impossible for 2-min render target. H100 for 6DOF matting, A10 for standard motion graphics.

Modal · RunPod · Serverless

6DOF Video Matting

RECAM Masters 1.2B parameter model for depth-aware subject extraction. Requires persistent warm pool architecture.

RECAM Masters · PyTorch

Durable Execution Layer

Temporal workflows for crashproof pipeline orchestration. Automatic retry, checkpoint recovery, replaces in-process queue.

Temporal · Go · Node.js

Real-Time Collaboration

WebRTC-based review sessions. Upload to R2, stream with inline playback, tap-to-play, double-tap ±10s seek, playback speed control.

WebRTC · Cloudflare R2

Revenue & Outreach System

Hybrid AI/manual lead gen. AI bot handles $997.99 tier volume outreach. Manual surgical outreach (Loom audits, trigger events) for $5K tier. Calendly → Google Meet auto-generated.

Lessons & Reflection

  • Warm pools are non-negotiable for GPU-heavy AI products. Cold starts kill user trust.
  • Temporal durable execution is essential for production pipelines with paying clients. In-process queues die silently.
  • The grid UI for structured diversity + human feedback is a teaching tool, not the product. Production is 99% automated with outlier detection.
  • Client-specific correction heads (~10MB each) are the real moat, not the base model.
