Piktostory Beta

@sspassova thanks for the feedback! Yeah we're still working on some fine tuning and will improve on what you just mentioned! If you're interested, I'd love to get in touch to learn more about how you are using it as part of your workflow! Thank you for the support!

@elvin_lkh happy to participate in any research :)

@sspassova that's great! Let's work something out!

@sspassova for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to send a message on Product Hunt so I've sent a connection request to follow up on LinkedIn! Thanks!

Thanks for love @aazar_ali_shad ! We are aware that there are a lot of video editing tools out there. Many focus on professional marketing videos and thus are more complex to use. There are also newer solutions using video transcribing technology (like we do) that are good for editing podcasts. Piktostory was explicitly made with video content repurposing in mind. Over one year, the Piktostory team led by @elvin_lkh, has spoken with hundreds of marketers and agencies. We learned that most use a combination of a minimum 2-3 tools to snip their videos into smaller clips and to share them on social media. We wanted to build a simple solution for them. That would allow them to: a) Easily transcribe any video recording b) Edit videos in the same way as they would edit a text document c) Repurpose existing video content, sitting on their Drive or Zoom, by clipping it into shorter videos and sharing it on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or LinkedIn Ultimately, it is what makes Piktostory a unique product.

@aazar_ali_shad Hi Aazar thanks a lot, we're very excited too 🌈 How we're looking to differentiate 👇 📝 Text Based Editing Just like Sketch redefined designing for screens we believe that video editing is due the same. For videos that mostly contain speech we've been scrubbing timelines and finding the right in and out points for so long. By allowing you to edit video just like editing a document you get result much faster while knowing how to use it intuitively. ♻️ Repurposing Our goal is to maximise quality content while minimising the amount of time you spend creating. One great way to start is to use existing recorded footage like webinars. Companies often don't realise the value they are giving away to a limited audience. Taking the best bits and putting it out on social will bring even more people to your next live event and help you figure out what topics you should focus on. We have many more features to come in this area ✌️ 💬 Subtitles & Templates We merged the experience of formatting subtitles and cutting/editing into one text based interface. Each line represents a subtitle in the video. Currently we also have the option to use a dark or light theme, but the plan is to have lots of templates and customization options to brand your videos. All in all we're at the start of the journey but we believe that text based video editing (or as we like to call it 'conversational editing') is the next big leap in content creation. With powerful ML and AI technologies on the rise there we can achieve a 10X improvement in the creation process.

@aazar_ali_shad @elvin_lkh @agatakristo it looks great. BTW are you guys planning on adding 9:16 format to clips? I can only do 1:1 and 16:9 for now.

@alimirza2k thanks! Yes we are looking to add more formats like 9:16 and others like Facebook posts' 4:5 for vertical videos in the upcoming updates!

@alimirza2k @elvin_lkh ahh got it.. thank you
