Ghost Draft — text → finished video in one shot (flagship #4)
AetherCut v1.9.86 shipped on with 4 updates to the private, browser-based video editor. Everything here is already included in the latest version. AetherCut edits on your own device, so your footage never has to be uploaded to a server.
What's new in v1.9.86
- New Ghost Draft flagship — paste a paragraph, script, or blog excerpt. AetherCut has Claude storyboard the beats, generates b-roll via Sora 2, records a voiceover via ElevenLabs, and drops all three onto the timeline. Zero footage → finished short in ~2-3 minutes
- Fourth of six 'no other editor has this' features. Descript can voice-clone, Runway can generate video, HeyGen can dub — but none turn a text paragraph into a fully assembled editable timeline in one flow
- Client-side orchestration only — reuses existing /api/sora-broll + /api/voice/tts endpoints, zero new backend routes. Graceful fallback if either integration fails: the successful step still lands on the timeline
- Analytics wired — ghost_draft_started/scripted/generated/completed/failed events so the admin dashboard can see where the pipeline drops off (Claude script vs Sora vs ElevenLabs)
