       Launch HN: Prism (YC X25) - Workspace and API to generate and edit
       videos
        
       Hey HN -- we're Rajit, Land, and Alex. We're building Prism
       (https://www.prismvideos.com), an AI video creation platform and
       API.  Here's a quick demo of how you can remix any video with
       Prism: https://youtu.be/0eez_2DnayI  Here's a quick demo of how you
       can automate UGC-style ads with Openclaw + Prism:

       Making an AI video today usually means stitching together a dozen
       tools (image generation, image-to-video, upscalers, lip-sync,
       voiceover, and an editor). Every step turns into export/import and
       file juggling, so assets end up scattered across tabs and local
       storage, and iterating on a multi-scene video is slow.  Prism keeps
       the workflow in one place: you generate assets (images/video clips)
       and assemble them directly in a timeline editor without downloading
       files between tools. Practically, that means you can try different
       models (Kling, Veo, Sora, Hailuo, etc) and settings for a single
       clip, swap it on the timeline, and keep iterating without re-
       exporting and rebuilding the edit elsewhere.  We also support
       templates and one-click asset recreation, so you can reuse
       workflows from us or the community instead of rebuilding each asset
       from scratch. Those templates are exposed through our API, letting
       your AI agents discover templates in our catalog, supply the
       required inputs, and generate videos in a repeatable way without
       manually stitching the workflow together.  We built Prism because
       we were making AI videos ourselves and were unsatisfied with the
       available tools. We kept losing time to repetitive "glue work" such
       as constantly downloading files, keeping track of prompts/versions,
       and stitching clips in a separate video editing software. We're
       trying to make the boring parts of multi-step AI video creation
       less manual so users can generate - review - edit - assemble -
       export, all inside one platform.  Pricing is based on usage
       credits, with a free tier (100 credits/month) and free models, so
       you can try it without providing a credit card:
       https://prismvideos.com.  We'd love to hear from people who've
       tried making AI videos: where does your workflow break, what parts
       are the most tedious, and what do you wish video creation tools on
       the market could do?

       | problem is when the platform abstracts over the model APIs so
       | much that you cant access new params when kling or whoever ships
       | an update. how quickly do yall expose new model features when
       | providers update? thats the make or break thing IMO

           | lots of people are asking for my script so i'm open sourcing
           | it fairly soon (openslop.ai if you want to get notified).
           | currently integrating with runware, elevenlabs, cartesia,
           | kling, runwayML but will look into integrating with fal too.
           | would you be open to connecting to helping with integration
           | with fal?

         | To be honest it doesn't take long to add a new model/params.
         | It's evaluating the models to see if they're even worth
         | including that takes the most time.

           | This is a great point. It is challenging to know which models
           | are good at what.
           | 
           | We've found that Seedance is good at photorealitic faces,
           | Kling is fantastic at generating audio (highest quality model
           | in terms of syncing character's face to the words they say
           | imo), and Sora is great at UGC.

             | Prism and Higgsfield are both similar in that we bring many

             | visual effects - while Prism is hyper-focused on short form
