It makes sense! We are still early in experimenting the pricing and would want to reduce user's overhead in thinking about pricing/credits as much as possible.
I get that too! Rooting for y'all, it looks amazing and I'll definitely grab a month once I have enough ideas enough :)

It’s mostly a web app with a native swift companion app to access local resources like TTS, file storage and video rendering.
I arrived at the same conclusion as you; every app should have AI chat. Just give it full access to the app like a real user. I found that users prefer talking to the AI when editing vs clicking around.
This looks great! Have you thought about dropping the 'subscription'-part and 'just' selling credits instead? Here's my thinking as a SaaS founder: when I launch a product, I don't need a video every month. So a monthly pricing makes me do this little calculation every time: "do I need a video this month? nah. Then I'll wait. I lose the early-bird price, but I still net out cheaper." And since there's no yearly optio…
I've been following Marcos's youtube channel and it's so great to see that they've finally found their thing. Looks like an awesome product that people actually want. Well done.

I feel the same way too. I also open sourced a video editor. It's free to use and you can buy credits whenever you want to access AI specific features.
I really disagree with this. Maybe once you start producing videos with a formula, it's true. But if you stop to think about it, a lot of things that people consider gruntwork hide little decision in them that subtly influence the creative process.
A lot of tech-minded people don't understand this about art but after editing tens of thousands of photos and over 300 videos, I can't say that there is much mechanical in the process. By automating parts of the process with AI you do hide some of the subtle decisions that might even be subconscious and therefore it still destroys creativity.
I'm sad when someones makes a product like this. Because what happens is that creativity is claimed as something important when really in the long run it is just suppressed for the sake of more efficiency.
I don't expect many people to care to understand this because there's $$$ in front of them and technologically-minded people get a dopamine hit from tech but that's the way it is and you can't hide from that truth. Sooner or later such things as this will be seen as an immense folly.
