MassGen Video Recording and Editing

Status: 📋 Planned
Version: Future
Last Updated: November 15, 2025

Overview

Auto-generate case study videos by running commands with recording, editing (speed up, add captions, highlight logs), cutting unnecessary parts, and producing 1-minute demo videos automatically for showcasing MassGen capabilities.

Description

Goal

Automate the entire video production pipeline for MassGen case studies: from running the command to publishing a polished 1-minute demo video, eliminating manual video editing work.

Key Features

  1. Automated Recording

    • Record entire MassGen execution session
    • Capture terminal output, logs, and visual output
    • Track important events (agent responses, tool calls, results)
    • Support both terminal and browser recording
  2. Intelligent Editing

    • Speed up boring sections (compilation, waiting, repetitive output)
    • Cut unnecessary parts (errors that were recovered, redundant logs)
    • Highlight key moments (final answers, important decisions, insights)
    • Add captions for important commands and outputs
    • Picture-in-picture for multi-agent coordination
  3. Content Analysis

    • Video understanding to identify key frames
    • Log analysis to find important events
    • Automatic chapter markers
    • Generate video description and keywords
  4. Production Quality

    • Add intro/outro sequences
    • Background music (optional)
    • Smooth transitions between sections
    • Professional color grading and effects
    • Export in optimal format and resolution
  5. Multi-Format Output

    • Full recording (for documentation)
    • 1-minute highlight reel (for social media)
    • 30-second teaser (for Twitter)
    • GIF animations (for docs/GitHub)
    • Tutorial segments (for YouTube)

Workflow

Run MassGen Command
    ↓
Record Session (asciinema/OBS)
    ↓
Analyze Recording (identify key moments)
    ↓
Edit Video (speed up, cut, add effects)
    ↓
Generate Multiple Formats
    ↓
Publish (YouTube, Twitter, Docs)

Testing Guidelines

Test Scenarios

  1. Short Task Recording (5 min execution)

    • Task: Simple research query
    • Test: Record, edit, produce 1-min video
    • Expected: Captures key moments, smooth pacing
    • Validation: Video is watchable and informative
  2. Long Task Recording (30 min execution)

    • Task: Complex multi-agent workflow
    • Test: Handle long recording, intelligent time-lapse
    • Expected: Condense to 2-3 minutes without losing narrative
    • Validation: All major steps visible, progression clear
  3. Multi-Agent Recording

    • Task: Parallel agent execution with coordination
    • Test: Show multiple agents working simultaneously
    • Expected: Picture-in-picture or split-screen layout
    • Validation: Easy to follow, coordination visible
  4. Error Recovery Recording

    • Task: Task with failure and recovery
    • Test: Show error briefly, then skip to recovery
    • Expected: Error visible but not dwelled on
    • Validation: Maintains flow, shows resilience
  5. Caption Accuracy Test

    • Task: Recording with important commands/outputs
    • Test: Auto-generate captions for key moments
    • Expected: Captions are accurate, well-timed, readable
    • Validation: Human review of caption quality
  6. Full Pipeline Test

    • Task: Run case study, produce video automatically
    • Test: End-to-end automation with no manual intervention
    • Expected: Publication-ready video in <10 minutes
    • Validation: Video quality suitable for public sharing

Quality Metrics

Technical Quality:

  • Resolution: 1080p minimum
  • Frame rate: 30fps minimum
  • Audio quality: Clear, no artifacts
  • Compression: Balanced quality/size

Content Quality:

  • Narrative clarity: Easy to follow
  • Pacing: Not too fast or slow
  • Information density: Key points visible
  • Engagement: Holds attention

Production Value:

  • Transitions: Smooth and professional
  • Captions: Readable and well-placed
  • Effects: Subtle and helpful
  • Branding: Consistent with MassGen identity

Validation Criteria

  • ✅ Full automation: command → published video
  • ✅ 10:1 compression ratio (10 min → 1 min) without losing key info
  • ✅ Human evaluation: Video quality >7/10
  • ✅ Caption accuracy >95%
  • ✅ Processing time <10 minutes per video
  • ✅ Videos suitable for public sharing (YouTube, Twitter)

Implementation Notes

Technical Requirements

Recording:

  • asciinema for terminal (from v0.1.14)
  • OBS Studio for screen capture
  • Browser automation recording
  • Event logging for synchronization

Video Understanding:

  • Multimodal models (v0.1.3) for frame analysis
  • Log parsing for event detection
  • Importance scoring for key moments

Editing:

  • FFmpeg for video manipulation
  • Python libraries: moviepy, opencv
  • Automated editing scripts
  • Caption generation

Planning Mode:

  • Break editing into phases
  • Coordinate multiple tools
  • Handle >10min processing time
  • Progress tracking and reporting

    speed_up_threshold: 5  # Speed up if no activity for 5s
    max_duration: 60  # Target 1 minute
    cut_errors: true
    add_captions: true
    highlight_key_moments: true
