Congratulations on the launch!

That's a nice tool, I loved how we can preview it on the website itself.

Thanks! I'm excited to hear your feedback!

I'm currently using a combination of Remotion (https://www.remotion.dev/) and ffmpeg (https://www.ffmpeg.org/)

Basically, ffmpeg helps with simple operations like cutting, cropping, compressing and resizing and most of the more complex animation are done with remotion.

Thanks!

1 - I'm targeting Influencers, Shorts YouTubers and TikTokers, mostly people who produce short content, anyone who has to make short videos from a long one.

2 - It works with about 40+ Languages, our transcription engine, German and Urdu are included.

3 - I'm using it to add some final styling to the subtitles and preview the main video. All of the effects are achievable through other methods like After Effects automation and ffmpeg too, but Remotion helps to make it quicker, it also was the best (and most reliable) browser preview method I've found so far.

Thanks!

The YouTube video download is something I indeed need to improve, it can take some time, especially for long 4K Videos.

I'll definitely work on better feedback on how much estimated time it would take. For some really long and heavy videos, maybe some feedback after they're finished processed would be nice.

Thanks for the warning, I'm using yt-dlp so there is this risk that someday it will simply stop working. I'm currently always caching downloaded videos so that I will not have to download the same video more than once.

If we come to that, I'll definitely need to use a proxy service to work around it.

I've used ProxyMesh in the past for some WebScraping products (https://proxymesh.com/) and have been able to keep everything working for years so it may be a good workaround.

Not currently, but this is my roadmap. If you would like, I can contact you as soon as it is implemented, just email me at [email protected] and I'll let you know.

It should not take long to be implemented.

No, I did not previously know about this project. But it is quite neat.

I'm currently using a combination of these technologies: - Whisper - FFMPEG - Remotion

To make the video generation.

Thanks!

This could be a nice future feature. It might be a bit challenging to support many editing software, as each one has proprietary formats that need to me implemented from scratch (as far as I know), but would be nice to get professional editors as customers too.

Thank you!

Landing Page / Marketing has always been my weakness in the business. We indeed need the "who" more clear in our landing page and it should be a top priority here.

Video editing is indeed a huge market and one I've struggled with in the past with other products that did not reach their PMF due to targeting the wrong user type.

This product is my first take in an AI-based product, united with something I have some year of experience in (Programming + Video Production Automation)

Loved your product too! English not being my primary language I have some of these hesitation problems when recording in a single take.

I get what you're saying, personally, I prefer more slowly-paced videos.

This fast-paced editing with no breathing in between sentences is a trend that I believe will shift sometime in the future.

My tool allows the user to choose whether he would like to remove the silence and how much time between each cut. Hopefully, this will work for both kinds of editing styles.

That video acts just as a preview version of a much more high quality video.

If the user requests the download at the end he can have that high quality version of the video that is previewed on the browser.

Hey Hacker News!

Some time ago we've launched Sheet.Best's MVP, we're now announcing its end product.

Sheet Best allows you to turn your Google Sheets into APIs, make aggregations, manage tabs, adding data and much more!

We're also launching Sheet.Best Templates, a way of turning your sheets into HTML without needing to code any backend whatsoever: https://github.com/0soft/sheet-best-templates
