This is really cool, love the niche this fits into — and for other future founders, there's a lot of low hanging Adobe apps which could follow this path: Audition? Acrobat? One thing I would suggest: increase your prices, at least at the top end. $83/month for the Business plan is way too cheap. At least put an extra zero on there.
Good points. Im always on the side of charging more where it makes sense. Still learning the market. I am doing B2B integrations where they get access to the tool embedded in their product and an S3 link sent to their system for $20k annual. This breaks down to $1.6 monthly.

#143THAT... IS... AWESOME.... dude you really out did yourself. usually i criticize people because their product homepage doesn't tell nor show anything about their product so i'm confused about what it does and how to use it. YOU... DID.. IT... PERFECTLY your homepage not only tells me exactly what this does, but shows me to the point where i'm excited to use it. good on you. others should learn from you. my one thing t…
Had an issue with sign up via Google, but I got past that and really quickly I was able to build a video!
It's really enjoyable to use. Well done!
...You may have also picked the absolute perfect time to put a product out like this. We're all mostly stuck at home, coming up with great ideas that we want to communicate.
I hope it takes off.
Watch this space!

#145as someone who doesn't need this product in order to make money, that's surprisingly expensive! people are really paying 30 bucks a month to edit instagram story videos?
Dropbox is a multi-billion $ business.
Never underestimate what people are willing to pay for.

#146Looks pretty awesome. 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.

#148I 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.

#150So, Adobe Spark? https://spark.adobe.com/
To be fair, as someone who doesn't know what it is, I clicked "Watch Video" on Spark website and that video did not show me what it is and how to use the product but rather some nonsense-story. Story creator website showed me exactly how the app looks like and how to use it right away without having me to click anything. Awesome work, bookmarking it for future use!
