Why do so many of these video editing products try to be web-only? A browser/"the cloud" is the last place I want to be if I'm wrangling 400GB prores blobs... I'm surprised the upside of locking their customers into using company hardware (excuse me, "the cloud") outweighs the inevitable shittiness of having to upload massive video files and try to wrangle them in a web browser which inevitably can't handle high-quality video.
you're clearly not the target audience, but I feel exactly the same way. but, i'm old skool. if you're the type to have a bunch of highly compressed MP4 files as source recorded with a profile that allows for post color correction, I could see where storing these small footprint filesizes live in a shared/common bucket. Maybe content creators shooting on their mobile devices would be a target who are already using a cloud provider to store the content.
i just hate acquiring footage in any format that would be accepted in an MP4, so this would never appeal to me.
Maybe the idea is you can upload one or two example shots to develop a look for use in another tool (via an exported LUT)? It’s hard to imagine uploading enough raw footage to grade anything longer than a commercial…
I developed a WebGL powered CC tool which centered around LUTs about 5 years ago, and this is the reason I abandoned it. No one is asking for this workflow.
Also LUT has its limitations... namely I use masks and vignetting all the time. Sure I could add this in my other tools but I can also color correct just fine without an AI 'assisting' me.
I find myself needing to do some video editing maybe ten times a year - mostly for using videos as textures in 3d graphics but also small marketing clips. Usually just trimming, resizing, or clipping so I use ffmpeg. But anytime I need to do more I find myself searching for easy to learn, easily accessible video editing apps and I'm always disappointed. One thing I do sometimes need to do is switch color spaces or do other color correction on a clip.
So it sounds like this is perfect for me. It's not for video editing professionals. It's for the much larger community of people who need to do occasional video editing. If it's on the web that's a bonus actually because I don't have to worry about installing or what platform I'm using it on.
Obviously the tradeoff is you're gonna have trouble with multi-gigabyte raw footage. But that's a perfectly acceptable tradeoff.
This video editing tool is extremely useful. This appears to be ideal for me. Actually, if it's on the web, that's a plus because I don't have to worry about installing it or what platform I'm using.
I'm not really sure I get the comparison bar charts down below - it shows fylm.ai all the way to the right and the other ones... not, but it's not clear what it's showing and I thought smaller bar charts would be better if measuring speed / performance?
Also, why is there no information about the management team on the site? I've noticed that a lot more recently that companies are reluctant to post any information about the team. Is there a reason for that?
I absolutely hate bio pages like that, at least ones about me. Call it imposter syndrome or whatever, but I seriously doubt anyone will ever be more endeared to anything I'm attached because they read something about me. I'm also in the weeds trying to work up the About page for a current project I'm involved and am heavily leaning on just not having one.
I admit, I'm super jaded, but I don't believe any quotes people use on websites like:
--"This product is amazing and saved my company 10% annually" - Tom M. Des Moines
At this point, I just assume all of those quotes/testimonials are just written by someone in the marketing department and the only place you'll find a picture of them is on thispersondoesnotexist.com
Well, I uploaded 12 jpegs representing a short video cut that I'am working in and after quite some clicking and trying then to get the LUTs out, I was told I need to upgrade my free plan, 20 minutes lost, but learned something new I guess.
Looking at the video, it looks like Davinci Resolve's color tab (or Lumetri or whatever) but "in the cloud"? I didn't notice anything that looked like "AI"?
This is a bit confusing. Seems aimed for pros or semi pros, but I find it hard to imagine that the latency and pipeline (sending huge Prores files to the cloud) will work. Hard to understand why they don’t just build a proper app, professionals are not going to use this much in its current state imo.

Oh, I think a useful looking color change flashed there in that transition. Or did my eyes deceive me?
This is like some dude convincing you he can fight by spinning things around your head in some martial-artsy way.
On my iPhone indoors I could clearly see both the “workflow animation” and color variations in the examples further down.
Looks like a cool application.
