A working lab where AI does the grunt work and you keep the final cut. I build a real, repeatable video pipeline in the open — and teach the fundamentals behind it. Blackmagic Certified Trainer, 20+ years in broadcast.
You can't find your style — you ship enough work that it shows up. Everyone wants a signature; few want the reps that make one. And publishing isn't the finish line, it's how the work gets its feedback. So keep going: most creators quit while their bad videos are still doing their job.
What is VIDTOOLZ?A working lab for supervised AI video production — where a 20-year broadcast pro wires AI tools into a real pipeline, keeps the final cut, and teaches the fundamentals along the way.
AI generates candidates and does the grunt work; a human approves every decision. The point isn't to replace the editor — it's to give one creator the leverage of a team without losing control of the cut.
20+ years in news and current affairs video production at YLE. Blackmagic Design Certified Trainer for DaVinci Resolve in Editing, Color, Fairlight, and Fusion.
95 in-depth shorts on video files, codecs, compression, color science, audio, frame rates, and workflows — the fundamentals the whole pipeline is built on.
The Production SystemThe core of VIDTOOLZ: a working AI-assisted video production pipeline, built in the open and open source on GitHub.
13-stage pipeline from idea scout to published measurement. Hermes coordinates, AI generates candidates, Mikko approves every decision. Built around the visual beat map as the central artifact.
Every episode starts with a beat map mapping spoken words to visual plans. Asset requirements flow from the beat map — not from arbitrary generation quotas.
Episode Factory, Creator QA, and Prompt Library are public on GitHub. The system is built in the open.
Tutorials & FundamentalsThe teaching layer under the system — start with the video file fundamentals every creator should know.
A Connected EcosystemVIDTOOLZ isn't just a channel or a website — it's an integrated system designed to support your creative journey.
