👋 Hi Product Hunters, Six years ago we launched Findie on Product Hunt, a short-form video discovery website (hunted by @rrhoover). We were discovered on Product Hunt by @pmchx, ended up white-labeling for our first big customer (L’Oreal) who tasked us with automatically editing and resizing 130,000 (!!) horizontal beauty videos to optimize them for mobile screens and after a successful campaign, knew we had the foundation of an exciting new technology. Fast forward 3 years, and we’re thrilled to be back on Product Hunt to launch Kamua: a browser-based automatic video editing tool that helps creators optimize video across all major video platforms, from YouTube to TikTok to Instagram (and of course, more!).

While Kamua is a great tool for editing videos one-at-a-time, our secret power is Kamua’s Automation AI that intelligently re-sizes and crops video based on the most interesting or relevant parts of the video AND automatically adds closed captions that adapt to whatever aspect ratio you need.

One reason why this is important: in order to address the widest audiences, video content needs to offer accessible closed captioning and not only does Kamua do this, but it also gives you control over the size, positioning, and readability of captions. We've had great feedback from people who suffer from hearing loss — and @sharonfeder, (our newest advisor!), will share more below. Real examples of Kamua in the wild Offbeat Media Group: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C... Roam Media https://www.instagram.com/roam/?... Shelly Palmer https://www.tiktok.com/@shellypa... AfroLandTV https://www.instagram.com/afrola... Natalie’s Outlet https://www.instagram.com/reel/C... How is Kamua different? Browser & cloud based so you can work from anywhere Work up to 90% faster (we have a customer who went from a 16 hours workflow to 15 mins) No video editing experience required Automated captions in 60 languages that you can easily edit AI automation of “Hard and Boring Tasks“ 👈🏻 🔑 Let me just dig in here for a moment. What are “Hard and Boring Tasks”? Think about all of the things that prevent you from making your videos great and/or better for various social networks, like TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram Reels, Stories and IGTV, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, Pinterest Stories, LinkedIn Stories, Triller, Twitter (see why this is a challenge?) To celebrate our return to Product Hunt, we’re offering a special discount just for you ➡️ use code ‘KITTY’ for $20 off our $25 tier! One last thing - we were supposed to launch last week but some kind of glitch happened and we only ended up being listed for a short while in the afternoon. That's why some comments are from last week. I’ll be around all day — supported by my team (@eek @jimh @arthur_sempebwa) and would love to hear what you think — or if you have any complex video tasks that you’ve been unable to tackle recently! -Paul

Hi Product Hunters! I'm Radu, the CTO & Co-Founder of Kamua, wanted to add a few more things to what @prcary said. Behind the UI tools of Kamua is a fully-automated workflow that we started building back when we were auto-generating trailers for several customers like Red Bull, L’Oréal and Nissan. You can still see the origins of this trailer automation on findie.me, after which we added the ability to AutoCrop, to generate different Aspect Ratios as well. AI is not perfect - and not capable of human nuance and context. So we built a UI to allow people to tweak things to their taste and fix outright mistakes made by the AI. Over time, the AI will help suggest edits based on a combination of what the editor chose to do and how videos perform on various social platforms. That’s the power of data and technology lowering barriers to creativity. We are an AI-first company, more than we are a "tools'' one. So, when you see our UI, please be kind :) We have plans to add more and more AI capabilities (from upscaling content, removing objects from videos with inpaint, realistically place objects and change appearances, video repair, colorization and transferring styles), we're big fans of Generative Adversarial Networks and we're here to show the world that AI can be your friend. So if you want to talk tech, add a reply below. Until then, I'll leave you here with a short test we've done a while ago about inpainting.
