Sisyphus

Making fun videos without After Effects.

Overview

MadeA filter, built in code, that runs on top of AI-generated video. Every visual value in it can be tuned by hand.
NeedAI video on its own looks obviously AI, and it handles type and fine details poorly.
ValueAI makes the footage, code controls the look. Each parameter is a number you can adjust, so the result is precise and doesn't read as AI.

Video generated straight from AI looks obviously AI. It's also hard to control: type comes out wrong, and you can't dial in the details you want.

So I split the job. First, AI generates a base video. Then a filter I built in code runs on top of it, and every value in that filter is adjustable. Tuning those numbers gives precise control over the final look.

Creative direction, poster design, and tool development.

I first built it in Google AI Studio, using it to sweep typography and plug in Google's Veo API for video. Since then I've added more presets and moved it to GitHub.

The name comes from Camus: "One must imagine Sisyphus happy." I hope the posters feel optimistic.

I initially built the tool in Google AI Studio While the tool has various features, I specifically used it to sweep typography and integrate Google’s Veo API for video generation.but now I upgraded more presets and deployed on Github now.
