Solid for our team

We rolled this out across the team last quarter and approachable interface suitable for beginners. AI smart cutout and motion tracking fits neatly into how we already work, and text-to-video and AI copywriting tools removed a step we used to do by hand. Lacks the depth of high-end professional NLEs, which is the main caveat, but it has held up under daily use.

Skeptical, then convinced

I went in skeptical — most tools in this space overpromise. It actually delivers on audio denoise and auto sync, and cross-platform with mobile and web companions caught me off guard. Lacks the depth of high-end professional NLEs is why this isn't a perfect score, still, I'd recommend giving it a real trial.

Years in this space

I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is audio denoise and auto sync — handled better than most — and cross-platform with mobile and web companions. Lacks the depth of high-end professional NLEs is my one real gripe. Worth the time if this is your use case.
