## What it is
Clapper is an open-source AI story visualization tool - a video synthesizer and sequencer for creating AI-generated cinema. Users iterate on stories using high-level abstractions like characters, locations, and style, with AI assistance, rather than editing raw video files directly.

## Use cases
- create videos with AI without video editing skills
- visualize a story as a film using generative AI
- iterate on a movie scene with an AI assistant
- generate AI cinema from high-level story descriptions
- direct an AI to produce video sequences
- storyboard and prototype films without external tools

## When to choose
- you want an all-in-one, no-code AI filmmaking environment
- you prefer iterating on story abstractions over editing raw clips
- you want to experiment with early-stage open-source AI video tools

## When to avoid
- you need a stable, production-ready video editor
- you require fine-grained manual control over video and audio files
- you need tested, polished workflows - the project is very early stage with broken features and no tutorials

## Facets
- artifact type: application
