A little surface-level criticism on your wording:

Of course you’re deep enough in your domain that to you “editing” means “video editing” and “studio” means “video editing workspace”. But when I clicked the link, I expected a fully featured general application for power use of LLMs.

Sorry for the confusion, I expressed myself poorly.

Same here, maybe we're too deep in our own domains

Sorry for the confusion I didn’t express myself clearly.

Good Job. It looks feature-rich. However, I'm not keen on subscribing immediately unless I'm offered some free trial credits.

Suggestion: Offer new users at least 10 credits so they can try out your basic generation and discover how you differentiate yourself from other viral short video AI tools. This will facilitate better monetization.

I understand we’ll add a 3-day free trial. Thanks for the suggestion!

… or they’ll go bankrupt.

A single veo3 video costs about $3 to make. Down from about $6 at least.

We’re aware of that, but to get our first users and real feedback, we’re willing to make an effort.

Anything technically interesting you can share about any of these?

How do you decide on which parts to extract?

What models do you use for the features you listed?

Sure, here’s what I can share: we use Veo 3, and Sora 2 is coming soon. For captions, we rely on FFmpeg combined with our own speech-to-text and dynamic subtitle API.

Is it making the world a better or a worse place?

We try to make the world slightly better by giving people tools they didn’t have before faster workflows, lower barriers to entry, and more accessible video creation. In the end, users decide how it’s used.

Looks nice! Any success stories/examples yet?

I’ve been building this solo for about a year, so it’s still early but we’re starting to see real traction from creators testing it. More examples coming soon.

What services are you leveraging for this?

Also, your blog about Veo 3 is from January 2025 it says.

The blog date was a typo it was supposed to be early November. Sorry about that.

An AI slop assembly line, nice work!

I get the concern. The aim isn’t to produce slop, but to help creators streamline real work.
