Our Mission

• Make professional video creation extremely productive & more enjoyable
• Give non-professional video creators an interface that encourages experimentation, iteration, and control, helping them become better creatives

Our Plan

We are doing so in the following phases:

1. Agentic video orchestration for professionals (video editing)
2. Integrate generative models in practical ways for professionals (inpainting, vid2vid, motion graphics, etc.)
