Short answer: Sam Nadler says rendering was the hardest part and still takes five to ten minutes, versus hours or days with a video editor, and outputs an S3 link to share. He built it mainly in Codex using Remotion.

From Episode 36: How We Built an AI Video Editor for Recruiters (Remotion + Claude + Codex), starting at 7:14.
Sam Nadler [7:13]: Now this is, for me, one of in the development was one of the most challenging parts was to get the video to render in a reasonable amount of time. It still takes probably five to ten minutes, so it's not that fast. But it's, theoretically way faster than engaging with the video editor, giving them all the context, waiting for them to turn it around based on their workflow. So five to ten minutes versus several hours, if not days, feels like a reasonable compromise. This same exact candidate, I had already pre prepared so we don't have to wait, and it comes with a link that you could theoretically share, an s three link you could theoretically share directly with the candidate or client. I'm sorry. So imagine a client is just receiving an email with three candidates, all senior data analysts. They get their CVs and three links to their video, and it looks like this.
Candidate [8:12]: And as a data analyst, what I've been doing is basically taking care of the whole process from data extraction, so ETL, to modeling and also visualization.
Sam Nadler [8:28]: Perfect. So as you can see, it's a little clip of this candidate. And, we think, hopefully, it will help increase the step from, presenting to the client to getting to client interviews. This was mainly built in Codex using a tool that we're about to dive into called Remotion. So before we go into Remotion, Jordan, any feedback on how to make this better? Anything I missed? Or just general advice?
