We launched Velo on Product Hunt this morning without expecting anything.
I thought we'd spend the day refreshing the upvote counter. Instead, I got hooked on reading every comment, watching sign-ups roll in, and seeing users create their first Velo in real time.
The async revolution was supposed to kill meetings, but it did the opposite. Since 2020, weekly meetings have increased 153%, despite every company adopting Loom, Slack, Notion, and a dozen other async tools. The tools multiplied, the meetings stayed. Something structural is broken.
Velo is soo cool .. as a founder I've been using a bunch of the products and always thought there was a gap .. y'all solved it ! Made a short explainer video, hope I got it right.
@alina_anitei You get automatic zooms and we've worked really hard to get them. We also have a full blown editor inside where you could control your zooms to the last pixel :)
@nuseir_yassin1 We have both of them, but we have that cloning features available in our Ultra Plan. I would love to give you a free trial, if you could give me your email ID or shoot me a note at sourav@usevelo.ai
For content creators, the pricing might be too steep if they get only 3 to 30 minutes of avatar videos. Will there be any creator-friendly pricing tier introduced soon?
@mykola_kondratiuk Yes the whole recording is treated as an intent capture, almost always the length of your recording and the output will be entirely different but we capture all the intent and then do the auto edits. Would love to have you try it out.

Intent capture framing makes sense. The variable output based on length is interesting - sounds like longer recordings compound the context, not just extend it.
ha yeah. the async angle is underrated - half the sync meeting culture is just habit.

tried screen recording tools before but the editing part always killed the workflow. does velo handle zoom/pan automatically or do you have to set that up manually? asking becuase thats the bit that takes forever
This looks like exactly what I've been looking for, so I'm definitely trying it today.
Can you control which moments get the zoom-in, or is it fully automatic?

Help me understand, does it automatically clone your voice with AI or it adds an AI voice to it?

@iamanantgupta Yes, we will be relooking at our pricing, incase you want to try it out shoot us a DM and we can get you a discount too!
does it actually understand what matters in the recording, or is it mostly trim + zoom? curious how it handles long demos

@lumm All of it is automatic, you should try it out
Velo
@hamza_afzal_butt Thanks Hamza,
Most tools help you edit videos, Velo actually creates the video for you from a raw recording.
You do not need to write a script, worry about speech, or do retakes, it handles that part
Try it out on www.usevelo.ai
Velo
@hamza_afzal_butt Yeah works well for that
People are using it for sharing guides, tutorials, product updates, demos, even walkthroughs from a URL.
Anything where you need to explain or show something via video message
Congrats. Looks neat. Does it allows me to host the videos like Loom does or I need to export the video and host at my end?
Velo
@ragsyme We allow hosting too without any watermarks, you get a URL you can share.
