one of my fav new pieces of research from @contralabs_ai...a real look at the professional editing process for short form video

[ben @contraben]

What is the best video editing agent for short form social? Does it actually work?

We watched professional video editors, step by step, as they built short-form social reels in Adobe Premiere Pro.

Today we're open-sourcing this preview dataset on @huggingface, to make AI agents better at editing videos.

The data set is 234 annotated steps across 4 computer-use trajectories.

Editors narrated their reasoning aloud as they worked, so every step pairs a screenshot with the expert's own thought, a structured action, and executable grounding:

>a Premiere MCP tool call, keyboard shortcut, menu path, or coordinate click.

>The format follows the AgentNet trajectory schema, extended with a Premiere action taxonomy and multi-path execution.

***That makes it directly usable for computer-use agent SFT, reasoning mid-training, tool-use and function calling, and benchmarking agents against a human expert baseline.

Enjoy!

What’s the German word for asking what the German word is for something?

I had jury duty last week. Each morning I passed this cart. Each morning I’d call out "Good morning to you too, Alex!" and then they'd say "please stop doing that". I’m thinking about becoming a lawyer just so I can continue this beautiful tradition for the rest of my life.

On Tuesday at 9:27pm, someone with a Florida phone number sent me 3 photos of a barbed wire fence enclosure, with the caption "Little bit of my work". I can't stop thinking about it. I haven't slept in days
