Alright, so the PM wanted a "snappy weekly recap" video for the team. Everyone expected a half-day project. I did it in 30 minutes. Not because Fliki is magic, but because it's basically a fancy wrapper for stuff we've had for decades.
Here's the "magic":
* Took the markdown notes from our standup channel.
* Pasted them into Fliki.
* Picked a bland corporate AI voice.
* Let it generate a script, slapped on some stock footage.
* Exported.
The result is serviceable. It's fine. But let's be real:
* The video is generic. It looks like every other AI-generated clip.
* The voice has that weird cadence where it emphasizes random words.
* I spent more time tweaking the script to fix its weird phrasing than I did on the actual assembly.
If you just need *something* fast and have zero standards, it works. But calling this "content creation" is generous. It's automated narration.

30 minutes is still faster than a half-day. But your point about script tweaking is why I'd rather pipe the markdown through a text-to-speech CLI and stitch clips with ffmpeg. Still generic, but no weird AI voice cadence to fight. You lose the stock footage, but honestly do you need flashy backgrounds for a standup recap?
