Please don't (over)do this. My brain can't handle a literal constant stream of speech. I've had to stop watching quite a number of videos about topics I was interested in because of this.
For example the 'Wired' YouTube channel. The 'tech support' videos look really fun, but I can't watch and listen to that for more than 30 seconds.
So I just do 'never recommend this channel again' on those.
Are more people like me in this regard, or is it just my brain?
I assume you use yt-dlp for this? In that case, look out for suddenly having your server IP banned by YouTube. I was running yt-dlp on a server for a long time (many months) and then one day it stopped working. And I wasn’t even auto-downloading videos. They were all manually triggered by me, to save copies of videos that I liked. So in total I was downloading far fewer videos on the server than the number of videos I was watching on my phone via the YouTube app on the phone.
I’d like to quickly create some stylised captions (the kind that are centred and 1-2 words at a time) and then add as a layer in Davinci Resolve.
1. Who are you targeting? Influencers, YouTubers, Instagramers?
2. What happens if video is in foreign language? E.g. German, Urdu. Does it still work?
3. How are using Remotion for building video? You might just not need it.
This is exactly what I was looking for, a great audio editor for shorts. I'll try it right away. What technology did you use? I'll try the basic version and give you some feedback.
Thanks Otto
We've been in this field (AI-based online video editing) for 2+ years now with https://www.onetake.ai ; so I have a hard-earned lesson I'd like to share as a suggestion.
While your landing page is very clear about your features, it is a bit lacking as to the use cases / specific avatar (persona) you are targeting.
You do have a "why Us?" question in your FAQ, but it's not clear who is the "who" you're targeting.
Once we started talking about our user and their needs rather than talking about the technology, that's when MRR shot up. I think this market is tremendously huge - from hobbyists on Reels, to enterprise creating employee trainings, to SMBs needing TikTok content, to information businesses working with mostly long-form video (which is the niche we are after).
But because the market is so big, you need to be clear who can make the most from your tool, so that they can find you. This will also guide your feature set and your UX (e.g. we decided to never ever have a timeline, which is the opposite of everything else that was in the market at the time). There are a bunch of counter-intuitive contrarian moves ahead of you if you want to reach PMF, and I believe you can't figure those out without talking to a narrow type of user.
Just my two cents. I wish you a super successful launch!
