Type your story to edit your video. Moonshine enables a fundamentally new and simpler way to create videos. Watch your relevant media float into your timeline as we find what you're looking for and bring your story to life. Now available for free, in beta.

Hey Product Hunt! 🌟 We’re Ganesh and Harsha, the duo behind Moonshine. Moonshine was born from our shared desire to revolutionize video editing. Despite the plethora of tools available, nothing seemed to break free from decades-old norms, even though video as a capsule for storytelling has evolved so much. We craved a more intuitive way to edit videos. 🎥✨Moonshine is a browser-based, story-powered, video-making machine. One of the first things you’ll notice is that the timeline is vertical! This enables more intuitive text-based video interactions directly on the timeline. Right now, text helps you quickly find the relevant clips from your uploads, based on visuals, actions, and dialogue. Start a story with a phrase like “Ordering pizza with my friends” and we’ll automatically show the exact clips you're looking for. 🎬🔍 Need a shot from a different angle? Or want more footage of your friend? Just tap on a moment in your timeline, and visually similar clips from your library will be magically highlighted for you to add. And to elevate your story, transitions, text, and audio layers work exactly how you’d expect! Moonshine removes the technicality of editing and puts your storyline front and center. We believe that this storytelling-based flow can be general enough to apply to any type of video editing, starting with video search so you never have to waste time finding the moments you need.

We’re thrilled to have you along for the ride! 🚀🌙

@ganeshthep Impressive features and sleek design—this product is a must-have!

This is definitely quite different from the main-stream video editors. Looks very interesting and hopefully it can help video editors to edit videos more easily. Congrats on the launch!

@kehui_guo Yeap, looks different and also user testing will tell if it's a good format. Reason why video editors look like they look, is a common patterns that users are already familiar. I wish all the best to Moonshine team!

@kehui_guo @brave_nick 100% agree, our biggest challenge will be making the gradient between innovation and familiarity as smooth as possible

@harshatheg good point. Like I said, wishing you all the best. You are on the right track.

This is super cool. These are the biggest steps I've seen in video editing since the mid-2000s, I love the UI shake-up. Great work on this, I can't wait to see where this goes!
