This is awesome. Hats off to you. But... "After Effects for dummies" is selling it short. This is a web based video editor! After seeing Figma do it's thing, I was waiting for someone to do it for videos. We're nearing the point where you can do 100% of your work in the web. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for for the support :)

I think pricing works in mysterious ways. There are a lot of variables. - what is the market willing to pay - does this solve the core problem - how much is this problem worth (hint time is the most valuable thing in the world) I don't think it should be more expensive than adobe products at all. My goal is to make it cost efficient for most folks who don't have large budgets. However here are a few points. - hiring…
Keep things reasonably priced and allow your user base to grow. There is a huge market for the casual user.
I have considered a one time fee with upgrades.

Let's see your product that you've coded? I spent years learning to code. Dropped everything to live in a car in Silicon Valley so I didn't have to work at a gas station in the middle of nowhere. I then worked my way up to a $200k salary. Quit that to pursue being an entrepreneur. Last year I made $20k and risked it all for this. Thanks for your time and energy checking it out though. I'm looking forward to your vers…
I'm curious and would like to understand it a little bit better: You had a well paying job which would allowed you, in only 5-10 years to basically buy a house for half a million and then retire with the other half million. What motivated you to build an Online Service? What are your thoughts on your competitors? Like i do like your product from a first view perspective, butwhen i google 'online video editor' i do fi…

It's been a burning desire of mine. I truly fear regretting not doing this. If it fails, I am happy to try again.
I am ok with making $20k per year for the rest of my life if it means every year I can wake up shooting my shot to build something useful to others.
In regards to competition I am not afraid in the slightest. I do not fear others, they are just flesh and blood like I am.
That said I am reasonable when someone has a certain position, the good thing about space and time is that with proper course correction you too can find your own position. With correct defensibility you can own a certain position for as long as you have a good stance.
Video has been around since the first animators drew images in a flip book. It's not going anywhere. I believe there are gaps and this game is not zero sum.
I will continue to expand my knowledge on physics, computers, marketing, engineering, human/consumer psychology. I will continue to build relationships and find ways to leave people better than I found them. These are my principles and in these principles I feel confident.

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. It might make more sense to represent that in time. If this is being sold to users too inexperienced to use AE, then the idea of bitrates and pixel resolutions probably will be foreign to them. But time is something everyone knows and can easily re…
This is a really great point. First you are right, pricing will go up. As I add more assets (animated text 100+, templates 100+, progress bars and other elements 100+) I will raise the price. Early adopters will be grandfathered in for life. I think adjusting the pricing based on your feed is very appropriate, makes a lot of sense and its giving me a lot of ideas.
Dude 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.
This product will most likely also sell with a higher price, but for an initial launch I would recommend keeping prices low. What you want is to learn if your product is something people are willing to pay for. Once that is established, you can tune the pricing to increase the revenue.

This is per month. I am still experimenting with the pricing and do have paying customers. I find the average user needs anywhere between 5 videos a month to 10. These are serious users who are consistent with their posting and are making a return. Those who are learning and new to the content game can get a few videos rendered per month to see if it's for them. Agencies are a different persona though and they would…
I was confused too. I recommend updating the text to be more clear. Congrats on a slick looking product.
Congrats! This looks amazing! If you don’t mind me asking, how did you decide to commit to complex app like this? It must’ve taken a long time to build the MVP. Did you interview potential customers before hand or just went I with your gut or your own pain points? How did you know people will be willing to pay for this, considering there are a lot of similar tools out there?
I am genuinely interested in video. I have been fascinated by it since a kid. So I knew I wanted to solve this problem.
I also love design tools and a good challenge. So I went against the grain and followed my gut. It brought a lot of pain and useful learnings. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Next time I will know what not to do. Always talk to the market and implement the MOM test. Do follow your gut but do mix that with conversations.
Nice. The only thing that makes me hesitant to ditch Adobe subscription is After Effects. There are replacements for Photoshop, Illustrator, but not for AE.

And it's a perpetual license as well - useful if you prefer the older licensing model. Remember what happened to Adobe users in Venezuela.
But storycreatorapp looks great for content creators who don't have the time to learn video editing & FX and just want to get things done quickly and focus on their content. Definitely going to check it out more...
