The video is one of the best I've seen, really makes me excited for the product. As for the product itself, I think the biggest "feature" is the ability to cut the audio by cutting the transcript, which makes it easier to quickly edit files. Transcribing is pretty common, the dubbing also sounds interesting but depends on how good the quality is. I think the use-case for this is not YouTubers who expect high-quality,…

I don't even have to look at the credits to know who put the video together - https://sandwichvideo.com/

They are f*king awesome and produce the best ads/product videos i've ever seen in my life. Unfortunately extremely expensive (the cost of 2 Ferraris) - unaffordable unless you are a SV startup that has raised $millions :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Every modern YouTube video is cut just like this. It looks good. Jumping heads turn out to not look bad, when the audio flows perfectly. https://youtu.be/2UP6CSZsc5o

In the video you linked it looks very natural. I think that's mainly because the cuts are between sentences. Not sure if it would still look good with mid-sentence stop words cut out.

It looks fine. They all do it. Source: I watch what too much YouTube
