From Raw Footage to Publish-Ready: Building a Serverless AI Video Pipeline on AWS

2026 · Athens

493 raw clips and 40 to 60 hours of manual editing, and the pipeline I built to stop doing that by hand. S3, Step Functions across six state machines, Rekognition, Transcribe, Bedrock and Bedrock Data Automation, AgentCore and MediaConvert, with eight specialist agents that gate each other.

The services doing the work

Read off the slides, not guessed. Each card says what that service did in this build, and links to the page explaining the capability and how to run it somewhere else.

Amazon S3

Holds the 493 raw clips from phone, Osmo and friends’ drops, and every file derived from them.

AWS Step Functions

Six state machines carry a clip from raw to publish-ready, with idempotency and retry logic.

Amazon Rekognition

Faces, scenes and emotion: what is actually in the picture.

Amazon Transcribe

Word-level transcription with speakers and custom vocabulary.

Amazon Bedrock Data Automation

Scenes, topics and sentiment across the footage.

Amazon Bedrock

Claude and Nova do the deciding: clip scoring, narrative structure and template selection.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

Hosts the eight-agent film crew: director, editor, cine, sound, fact, story, pacing and quality.

CrewAI

The framework the eight agents run under, each with one job and the power to gate the others.

AWS Elemental MediaConvert

The final compilation, rendered to 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 from one VariantSpec.

AWS Lambda

Triggers MediaConvert and carries the small steps between the state machines.

Slides from the talk

From Raw Footage to Published Video: the pipeline that cuts my own clips. These are the slides that carry the architecture.

The whole pipeline in one column: S3 for direct upload, Step Functions for orchestration, Rekognition, Transcribe and Bedrock BDA for analysis, Bedrock with Claude and Nova for decisions, an eight agent film crew on AgentCore, and MediaConvert producing a 16 by 9 YouTube cut, a 9 by 16 reel and a 1 by 1 LinkedIn version. Slide from the VideoFlow deck.

Amazon Bedrock and BDA: why the service is in the pipeline, how it is used on a downsized clip, and the quotas and gotchas, over a data centre scene. Slide from the VideoFlow deck, background image AI generated.

Raw files in, three versions out: one 90 second 4K clip with no edits going in on the left, three finished formats coming out on the right. Slide from the VideoFlow deck, background image AI generated.
