AI that can create and edit professional videos
We built an AI-powered video creation and editing tool that lets anyone - from individual creators to teams at Google and ByteDance - produce professional, copyright-free videos in seconds. Instead of spending hours or paying expensive agencies, users upload their content and get polished videos with minimal clicks. Our product handles everything from editing to ensuring copyright safety, making video production fast and accessible.
We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and we will keep the company based here after YC.
We are based in San Francisco because it is where our team lives and where a lot of our early customers are. Staying here keeps us close to a strong tech ecosystem and potential partners.
