Local-first

Nothing to upload.

Exports run on the machine in front of you — hardware-accelerated, unlimited, and free, because your computer already works for you. The cloud renderer is there for the day a project outgrows it.

CaptionsAuto-generated, styled, and genuinely editable.

Every aspect at onceBuild 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5 from one timeline.

AI, honestly priced

Type it. Watch it appear.

AI video, images and voiceover, auto captions, and one-prompt colour looks — built into the same timeline, rendered in the cloud.
