Yes bundled content is a big pain point of mine. My biggest pain points with After Effects. 1. When I want to create a creative video I typically look on Envato for inspiration. Then I pay $30 to Envato on top of the $270 a year for After Effects. Then I have to learn how to install the template or asset. I wanted a marketplace and library integrated with the tool. 2. I also want the After Effects experience to be li…

#113This is super impressive. Congrats! Would love to know more on the frameworks you used, infrastructure, etc.
React.js on the FE with a lot of custom components. Used styled components. Used Apollo and zustand.js as global state/cache management.
Node.js with FFMPEG binary as a way to process videos
Prisma2, GraphQL and postgresql for data
Vercel for hosting

I completely agree. I'd love to pay for this on a per-seat basis. $50-100/mo/seat seems about right here. I also don't know if including storage in the pricing is helpful.

But time is something everyone knows and can easily re…
umm... are all these people pushing to increase price serious? I know you want to encourage, but After Effects is "only" $20/mth.
Or this vs spending time learning to use a professional video editing tool

#117I quit my job over a year ago. Been bootstrapped on savings. I picked up a gig last year and only made $30K in 2019. Hoping my efforts pay off.

#118Dude this is fantastic. Also you really need to charge more. Start by doubling the prices for all the plans. It's easily worth it and people will pay.

#119IMO the killer feature will be the seamless import/export of content from phones to Web UI to social media account. Any platform allowing a frictionless experience in this regard will open the market to the much broader audience, which I think you're well branded for.
I'd love to hear more about your experience building the rendering stack with ffmpeg - and whether or not you recommend using it.
