Hi, My name is Ross Cranwell and I’m the cofounder and CEO of Milk Video. This is my first time on ProductHunt, but my co-founder Lenny Bogdonoff, has released a couple of products here already! Milk Video is a web application where anyone can take a webinar, or any video recording, and turn it into captioned and branded highlight clips in a matter of minutes. Lenny and I met in Shanghai 10 years ago and last year we came together again in New York to build out Milk Video. Working in Demand Generation at B2B companies, I saw how arduous it was to extract the amazing quotes from a video and to present it in a video clip that would match our brand. Lenny's experience in both video and engineering brought the idea to life and we officially launched in January of 2021. Our aim is to help content creators turn around video into multiple assets at speed, and thus extract (or 'milk') as much value from a webinar whose shelf life often expires after the event. Milk Video's most frequent use case since we launched in late January is for B2B marketers to take a webinar recording and turn it into a 2-minute clip to be shared on Linkedin. We also have podcasters turning audio into captioned clips, and often see more views on the clips than the original full recording itself. **Here's how Milk Video works** - Upload your video - Your recording is automatically transcribed (and can be edited to correct typos) - Clip the section(s) you want to highlight - Add design elements such as styled captions, logos and text descriptions to your clip. We offer a 7-day trial where you can upload as many videos as you like. We will be on-hand to also support you with any questions as you create your clips. Thank you very much for all your support. Lenny and I will be online all day to answer any questions.

@daryllman thanks a million Daryll. Would love you to try it out and let me know how you get on.

@daryllman if you need something for talks have a look at mine https://recontent.xyz, super basic MVP at the moment but upload the file and let me do the magic :)

This is amazing - I see a lot of my friends who are podcasters manually do this. Great to see automation around this. Quick question, I see a lot of templates being used on your site. Do people manually create them or are there beautiful templates available (like Canva for video captioning) to choose?
Leonard Bogdonoff

@piyush_narwani great question! Right now we have a few basic layouts, and about 60 preset color themes that work well. The end user can simply use that preset, but mostly they will then take that as a base and add their own visual elements, like logos and headers. We are working on a library of templates, like Canva. You can think if Canva is to Photoshop. Milk Video is to Premiere.

@rememberlenny Brilliant, thanks for updating.

Super intuitive and simple UX. I cannot wait to use this on all of my past panel/interview videos. Wouldn't have anything to do with those otherwise!

@lisha_li1 thank you Lisha!!! Excited to see you getting more value out of your great panel videos. appreciate the support.

I've worked with producing webinars and the biggest problem is distributing content. There's just so much in a 2-3 hour long video but it's hard to extract insights and then clip and make them social-media "friendly". Milk.video makes everything so much more easier and does all the work for you. I love that the highlights become mini-video bites of their own and are so easy to consume! You can't help but stop and watch the whole thing when it pops up on your timeline! Congrats on the launch Lenny! I know you've worked super hard on this 🙏🏼
Ross Cranwell

@thiscodeworks You explain the problem perfectly! Lenny has worked incredibly hard on the product, and the results in such a short period of time are amazing. Plenty more to come and thank you for the support, Mishka.
Eivind Håverstad
What a brilliant idea!:) Does it render other languages than English?
Ross Cranwell
Maker
@eivindhaa thanks Elvind! We focus on English right now, but we've already had a number of requests for other languages, so definitely moving towards that.
Ross Cranwell
Maker
@eivindhaa also, languages is a big passion of mine (Chinese, Italian, Spanish), so I'm excited about the options there.

Pretty cool to see a product I use on Product Hunt. I've been using Milk to promote my podcast (http://www.allschemesconsidered.com) on LinkedIn. Here's some sample videos: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/m... https://www.linkedin.com/posts/m... All the social media companies are pushing video really hard in their algos. Recording and editing a podcast is super fun for me, but the audience-building part didn't come naturally. Milk lets me make professional quality highlights super easily. Surprisingly, the viewership on these highlight videos is 100x the listenership on the podcast. Anyway, I like the software.

@kashshah_ thank you Aakash!! You've been creating some amazing content -- delighted to be a part of that.

Excited to see how this product grows & evolves, but I wouldn't bet against Lenny

Milk is one of those products where it's hard to believe that it didn't exist before. Congrats on the launch guys!

@yunyu there are a load of individual tools out there (transcription, or video editing), but few who create a seamless workflow like this. thanks a million for the support.

Eventually! Congrats @rememberlenny
