The problem

Video editing is either
too complex or too dumb.

Professional tools take hours to learn. Simple tools produce generic content. AI tools are cloud-based subscription traps. Creators deserve better.

× Premiere is $23/month forever
× Final Cut went subscription
× CapCut is Electron + subscription
× Descript is cloud-dependent
× AI tools produce slop
Vibe editing

Your editor is
a conversation.
