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.
