Why AI videos fall apart after 3 seconds — invideo's Redrum fix is edit-first
lmoroney · x · 2026-10-27
- The problem: most AI-generated videos look spectacular for the first three seconds, then lose viewers.
- The approach: invideo's short Redrum inverts the workflow — AI generates the spectacle, but traditional editing logic controls pacing, tension and visual language. GPT Astra shaped emotional beats and invideo MCP sped up execution, while structure, references and final calls stayed with the editor.
- Practical tip from lmoroney: cut a 30-second sequence from your clips with the sound off, and only add music once the picture holds attention on its own.
- Core idea: AI moves fast; human taste decides where it goes. Let the edit direct the AI, not the reverse.
