What these companies do

🔍 Problem

You need more video than you can make. Each channel wants its own aspect ratio. A full in-house team ships 300 videos a year at best. So you send the same video to a new lead and a paying customer.

💡 Solution

You describe the video once, point it at a data source, then a cloud renderer returns a finished file for each row.

💎 Why It Matters

The second video used to cost as much as the first. Now it costs cents to render.
