◆ VERTICAL THAT FOLLOWS

The speaker stays in frame.

We track who's actually talking — not whoever moved their head. The camera locks on the right person and only switches when they finish a thought.

◆ CAPTIONS, READY

Word-perfect, in your style.

30+ caption presets — bold karaoke, clean podcast, MrBeast yellow, neon-shock. One click to switch styles on a finished clip.

◆ LONG-FORM EDIT

A polished cut for YouTube.

Not just shorts. Every render also produces a single tightened long-form edit with a cold open, chapters, and a description ready to paste.

▼ HOW IT WORKS

Three frames.
One coffee.

The work that used to take an editor a full day, every video. Paste a link, walk away, come back to a folder of clips and a polished long-form cut.

[01:43] so the question I ask everyone is —

[01:46] what would you do if you knew

[01:48] you only had three years to prove

[01:51] this thing was going to work?

[01:53] because that's what it actually is.

[01:56] You have three years. You don't have ten.

[02:00] and the second you accept that —

[02:03] every single decision changes.
