StoryToolkitAI
Description
StoryToolkitAI is an advanced film editing tool designed to enhance the editing process by comprehending your footage and facilitating more efficient edits with the power of artificial intelligence (AI). The tool can transcribe and index scenes, allowing users to search through footage swiftly. It leverages large language models, such as OpenAI's GPT-4, to automatically select and compile stories that users can import into their editing software via EDL or XML. This tool operates locally on your machine but also offers integration with DaVinci Resolve Studio 18.

Download, Setup & Installation
To download the latest release, you can visit the releases page. Although standalone releases may lag behind the git version, installing from source offers the most up-to-date features. Detailed installation guidance is available here.
Cost Considerations
StoryToolkitAI's core functions are free, provided your machine supports them without outside services. However, the Assistant feature, reliant on OpenAI's or StoryToolkitAI's API, does involve external service usage. The project thrives on support from Patreon members, who get early access to new features.
Privacy Assurances
For users with privacy concerns, fear not: the tool retains all data processing on your local machine, except for specific features like API key checks and the Assistant function. Regular updates also ensure the tool’s efficiency.
Development & Contribution
StoryToolkitAI is a labor of love from Octavian Mot, a filmmaker committed to creating a user-friendly editing tool. It's constantly under development, and contributions from the community are welcome. Users are invited to propose enhancements and discuss their solutions.
