The "Neo-NLE" Hybrid Architecture: Unifying Generative AI Synthesis and Deterministic Media Assembly
Abstract
Disclosed is the "Neo-NLE" (Next-Generation Non-Linear Editor) architecture, a hybrid system unifying traditional deterministic video assembly workflows with generative AI synthesis within a decentralized, local-first framework. The core innovation is the seamless integration of "Assembly Workspaces" (optimized for deterministic playback) and "Generative Workspaces" (for AI synthesis and code execution) within a single application. Both layers operate on a shared, decentralized data fabric (KTKN-OS/Automerge), enabling real-time interaction between generated assets and the assembly timeline. The architecture mandates a Local-First implementation, ensuring zero-latency interaction and data sovereignty, with P2P synchronization eliminating centralized cloud reliance.
