Watch what AfterRushes made
Shown with Jackson Ridge's permission.
In short
What happened? Of 29 clips (14.2 minutes, 3.8 GB) for a property tour of Jackson Ridge, a villa in Malta, the AI spotted one from a Vienna walking tour and left it out. The rest became a 2:43 tour in seven chapters and a 0:30 vertical teaser, both without sound. The AI cost to date is $0.71.

How we measured. AI cost is the Claude API use AfterRushes counted for the project, at Anthropic’s list prices. Electricity, the computer and the licence aren’t in it. The films on this page are AfterRushes’ cuts as exported; any changes asked for are shown under “Changing it in plain English”.

The brief
Make a three-minute documentary highlight film and a 30-second vertical teaser. Use music recorded on the day where there is any.
What went in
Jackson Ridge is a villa in Malta. The project was set up in AfterRushes as a property tour in the documentary style, asking for a three-minute highlight film and a 30-second vertical teaser. The notes in the brief read "Property in St Lucia, Malta for sale".
There were 29 video clips and no photos, with 14.2 minutes of footage, 3.8 GB in all. Every clip is in landscape at 1920×1080, 28 of them shot at 60 fps and one at 30 fps. The AI found that one clip was from a Vienna walking tour.
The files don't record which camera was used, and no music file was supplied.

What the AI noticed
- Story decision
The 'final_cut' clip is a Vienna walking-tour vlog that has nothing to do with this property, so I left it out, and no music was supplied, so the films still need a track.
- Music suggestion
Add a calm, elegant licensed instrumental track so both films have music cut to the beat.
- Title suggestion
Add the agent's name and contact details to the end card so viewers know who to call.
- Suggested addition
Include a short glimpse of the courtyard plunge pool and limestone facade (DJI_0174), though the pan is fast and only about a second is sharp.
- Flagged clip
Confirm the Vienna walking-tour clip (final_cut) was added by mistake, since it isn't part of this property.
The music
No music was recorded on the day and none was supplied, so the film has no soundtrack, and as the clips have no sound, it plays silent. Given a licensed track of your own, AfterRushes finds its beats and cuts the film to them.
Technical details
There is no soundtrack. No music was recorded on the day and none was supplied. The film as AfterRushes made it has no sound at all, with no music and no speech or sound from the clips, and the teaser has none either.
The AI's first suggestion above is to add a licensed instrumental track. Given the photographer's own licensed track, AfterRushes finds its beats and cuts the film to them. Music for wedding films covers licensed tracks and the band on the day.

14 minutes of walkthrough. One listing film. AfterRushes puts the rooms in order, from the view, to the kitchen, to the pool, and cuts the tour and the vertical for Instagram. Card in. Listing out.
Read the voiceover
One clip from the wrong shoot. AfterRushes spotted it, left it out and put the rest of the villa in order. The view, the kitchen, the terrace, the pool. Card in. Listing out.
What it didn’t do
- No sound. The film and the teaser have no music, speech or sound from the clips. Adding music means supplying a licensed track.
- Shorter than asked. The brief asked for three minutes, and the film runs 2:43.
- No contact details. The closing card reads "For sale · St Lucia, Malta", with no name or number to call, as the AI pointed out.
- Courtyard clip unused. The fast pan of the courtyard plunge pool and limestone facade isn't in the film. The AI suggested adding a short glimpse of it.
- A preview teaser. The teaser shown here is the app's preview, at 540×960.
- The AI made the first cut, and the photographer still reviews it and makes it their own. For this film, that means adding a licensed track, putting contact details on the end card and deciding on the courtyard clip. Making an AI first cut your own covers the changes worth making.
Questions about this film
How long did this film take to make?
The build time wasn't recorded for this project, so we don't quote one. Times vary with the amount of footage and the computer, and the work runs in the background.
What did the AI cost?
The AI has cost $0.71 for this project to date, across 30 calls. For full films you pay Anthropic directly for the AI you use, with no markup, and the cost varies with the footage.
Was the footage uploaded?
No. The video and audio files, edits and finished films stay on the photographer's computer. To plan the film, still frames from each clip, along with any photos and transcript, go to the AI, Anthropic's Claude.
Can the edit be changed?
Yes. You can delete, move and trim shots on the timeline, add titles, apply the AI's suggestions with one click, or ask the Assistant for changes in plain English. Only the shots that changed re-render.
Does the film have any sound?
No. The film as AfterRushes made it has no music, speech or sound from the clips, and no music was recorded on the day or supplied. The AI suggested adding a licensed instrumental track.
