Use Open Edit - Can you edit this video into a snappy, fast-paced social media video with silences and filler words removed, and add subtitles to the video in the style of the reference that I've given you. It needs to be a fun edit with subtitles, graphics and music

Generating a good video from code is not the problem.
The problem is how you edit it natively.
How you use use fonts, branding and build repeatable templates.
And that’s why we built OpenEdit.

Opus 5.5 is incredible at instructional video generation.
I made this launch video for a inference startup in 1min for ~$2. Videos like these used to take weeks if not months and a lot of coordination with agencies and 1000x the costs.
Humans broadly prefer video to text. This changes the substrate of communication. These videos actually help communicate technical ideas in seconds (photorealistic video gen like Seedance is not very useful here).
- changes how often marketing should be talking about products and launches
- change how sales people can talk about technical products to their customers
- allow technical people to easily explain concepts internally without long docs
And thats just scratching the surface within startups.
Prompt: “make a modern slick and punchy video for a modern startup that works on inference”

New macro product marketing trend:
Frontier model + My product = WOW!
It’s smart because it does not take product or dev work to execute.
The real undercurrent:
Everyone company is now a marketing company.

My income before my startup:
Year 1: £35K
Year 2: £55K
My startup’s revenue after I started it:
Year 1: $0
Year 2: $100K ARR
Year 3: $1.5M ARR
Today: 8-figure ARR
Lesson?
Always bet on yourself.
And never quit.

The fastest-growing AI companies today are following the same playbook.
I call it the M.A.G.I.C. framework:
M – Model-native.
Your product gets better every time the underlying model improves. Lovable gets better every time Anthropic releases a new model.
A – Agentic and API-first.
Built for agents and makes your products & features pluggable into other products. ElevenLabs is a great example.
G – Generative by default.
Make the UI super lazy. Look at the products winning right now: Claude, Lovable, Cursor. They are basically a chat box with simple UI.
I – Instant time to value.
Users experience the “aha moment” before any heavy setup. ChatGPT lets you get the experience before even creating an account.
C – Compelling leverage.
Small inputs create enormous outputs. One prompt in Lovable can turn into a working app in seconds.
If you want massive growth, you can’t keep playing by the old rules.
