Show HN: AutoEditor - Edit your video in just a few clicks
I wanted to show the first version of my new project, its main goal
is to let users edit short engaging videos in just a few clicks.
Upload your video (or take a link from YouTube), cut your video,
crop it, subtitle it, add overlay layers and much more.

| Please don't (over)do this. My brain can't handle a literal
| constant stream of speech. I've had to stop watching quite a
| number of videos about topics I was interested in because of
| this.
|
| For example the 'Wired' YouTube channel. The 'tech support'
| videos look really fun, but I can't watch and listen to that for
| more than 30 seconds.
|
| So I just do 'never recommend this channel again' on those.
|
| Are more people like me in this regard, or is it just my brain?

| This fast-paced editing with no breathing in between sentences

|
| My tool allows the user to choose whether he would like to
| remove the silence and how much time between each cut.
| Hopefully, this will work for both kinds of editing styles.

| Hi, congrats on launching!
|
| We've been in this field (AI-based online video editing) for 2+
| years now with https://www.onetake.ai ; so I have a hard-earned
| lesson I'd like to share as a suggestion.
|
| While your landing page is very clear about your features, it is
| a bit lacking as to the use cases / specific avatar (persona) you
| are targeting.
|
| You do have a "why Us?" question in your FAQ, but it's not clear
| who is the "who" you're targeting.
|
| Once we started talking about our user and their needs rather
| than talking about the technology, that's when MRR shot up. I
| think this market is tremendously huge - from hobbyists on Reels,
| to enterprise creating employee trainings, to SMBs needing TikTok
| content, to information businesses working with mostly long-form
| video (which is the niche we are after).
|
| But because the market is so big, you need to be clear who can
| make the most from your tool, so that they can find you. This
| will also guide your feature set and your UX (e.g. we decided to
| never ever have a timeline, which is the opposite of everything
| else that was in the market at the time). There are a bunch of
| counter-intuitive contrarian moves ahead of you if you want to
| reach PMF, and I believe you can't figure those out without
| talking to a narrow type of user.
|
| Just my two cents. I wish you a super successful launch!

| Landing Page / Marketing has always been my weakness in the
| business. We indeed need the "who" more clear in our landing
| page and it should be a top priority here.
|
| Video editing is indeed a huge market and one I've struggled
| with in the past with other products that did not reach their
| PMF due to targeting the wrong user type.
|
| This product is my first take in an AI-based product, united
| with something I have some year of experience in (Programming +
| Video Production Automation)
|
| Loved your product too! English not being my primary language I
| have some of these hesitation problems when recording in a
| single take.

| potential niche.
