VideoGen (YC S24) - Generate professional videos in seconds

VideoGen solves the biggest pain points of video production—complexity, cost, and time. In just a few clicks, anyone can create professional, copyright-free videos without breaking the bank. As YC founders, Anton and David built VideoGen to empower creators and businesses to produce content at scale, faster, and more affordably than ever before.

I like how you are not only relying on AI generated videos because simply they are not yet ready for mass use without some tweaking, but opted to focus on relying on existing assets. There is definitely enough footage enough for B-rolls in that 3M asset library. I'm curious how do you differ from all the other AI video editing/gen tools out there? They all seem to have features like generating script, video timeline, music and TTS. Congrats @antonckoenig and team on the launch! Thanks for the hunt @garrytan.

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m Anton, co-founder of VideoGen, and I’m so excited to share what we’ve been working on. It’s been a journey—David and I used our Palantir and AWS internship savings to bootstrap VideoGen out of college, and now we’re proud to serve thousands of customers. We believe video is the highest bitrate and most engaging medium of communication, but video editing is too hard and cluttered with too many buttons. Our mission is to make video creation accessible, fast, and easy for everyone. Got questions or feedback? Drop them in the comments—we’d love to hear from you! Thanks for being part of this journey with us!

Love the support from different languages and accents - this def gonna change how creative marketers launch campaigns. Makes it easy to test copy and visual and create dozens of variations. Congrats on the launch! 🤠

VideoGen is exactly the kind of product that can be a real game changer!

Yep, you got something good here, I think. Definitely for people like me. This is a skill extender. I'll probably start playing a little more with it over the weekend. Thanks for the code, that'll help. One thing that's going to be important for me, which I think is possible, but haven't tried yet, is to upload some of my own images that can be incorporated into the video, like screenshots or short videos of an application.

This product 🎥 is a game-changer for anyone looking to create stunning, professional-grade videos in a fraction of the time. ✨ With its easy-to-use interface, you can generate high-quality, copyright-free content in seconds—perfect for marketers, content creators, or businesses. 🛠️ No technical expertise required! Kudos 🎉

Wow its cool to generate a professional grade video in seconds love the idea.

I looked at the guide and the free pro coupon is nowhere to be seen ....

After 100-day streak here on PH, I've seen a good deal of video creation tools. Now, VideoGen is one I'll definitely give a try! The UI/UX looks neat, just the way I like to craft mines.

Amazing! Curious to know how different it is compared to InVideo?

Hey Anton, can I generate video from the transcripts I got for my podcast? I have only got an audio-only podcast and was wondering if Videogen can genearet videos based off the transcripts of my episodes.

All the best for the launch @antonckoenig & team

VideoGen sounds super cool! Just checked it out, and it looks really promising for easy video creation. Congrats on the launch, Anton! Excited to see how this evolves.
