I 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.
Looks awesome! BTW, the 'About' page has a missing image (I'm assuming it's you).
Mowgli is a very good dog.
I think the focus on speed and bundled content is important. These are the two biggest weaknesses of After Effects today imo.
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…

out of technical curiosity, how do you render the video? is the whole thing like a canvas element?
The idea is as long as you have all the information the user wants in in each layer. Then you can do a lot of things with this understanding.
The major pieces of information you need to collect while working on a 2D plane are these.
- The x,y coords - The width and height - A path to the asset - additional properties like colors and opacity
From having this critical information stored nicely means you can email it to a graphic designer and have them decode it and follow the "map".
You can send it to a client side process and have it interpret the information.
You can send it to a server and have it interpret the information.
You can do a one shot kill and build a system that pieces them together using one approach.
You can send each layer to a different process. You can create a specialized technique for each layer type.
The key is collecting the information. The actual rendering can be done in many ways. FFMPEG, canvas, screen shots, send it to a human lol. Using OS commands, etc.
Amazing ! Can you make it collaborative ? If yes, then you have a "Figma for video editing" : you made After Effects online and collaborative. Huge ! (and then I'd want to invest ;) )
Yes and I know exactly how to do it. - is it a part of my vision: yes - does it get me excited: HELL YES - do I understand if there is a need in the market: no - do I currently have the resources to build it: no I'd like to first secure some runway. I've been bleeding out for awhile. Second, I would like to talk to users and if this is a serious problem worth solving and not just something that is cool. Then I am all…
Happy to make intros in the YTber community if they sound like an interesting persona to talk to.
- My finger slipped and it wheecht me out of the editor before I'd finished editing the video - maybe it could prompt me to confirm if I want to leave the editor/save my work if I've made changes?
- Is it possible to disable the browser right click/context menu on the timeline? I expected to get some additional options but got the browser context menu instead
So cool! Well done
In the pricing section I see there's a limit on videos. Is this a monthly limit or total limit. For example, free tier says 5 videos, is that 5 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 most likely need more than 10.
Minor nit: hitting backspace to delete a clip (pretty common in editing apps) forces the browser to go back.
You might also want to catch other types 'leave page' events and ask for confirmation so that the user doesn't lose their work accidentally.
This is an extremely impressive product. Signed up a couple weeks ago, it's spectacular.
