Codex-driven video editing is getting close to turnkey

The author says an AI-assisted video production workflow is close to being solved with Codex + ChatCut + MkBoard.
From the screenshots, the flow is:
- use a storyboard/script as input;
- let Codex generate the editing logic;
- feed assets into ChatCut;
- automatically assemble B-roll, screenshots, zoom-ins, sound effects, and background music;
- export the result for a short-form video workflow.
The key point is that the author believes the real bottleneck is still storyboarding; once the shot plan is clear, the rest of the editing pipeline can be largely automated by agents/tools.
