In this video, we are going to explore the uhh.. benefit of long-term index fund investing - the best type of investing. It is .. pretty.. i mean.. incredibly simple and allows for wealth accumulation with minimal effort. You can build your portfolio over time, on any budget, and reduce your risk by diversifying across the entire market. Oh actually, speaking of markets, I used to try and trade options but I lost all my money.. wait maybe i'll make a different video about that... what was I saying.. oh right... The beauty of index investing is that you buy it and you can forget about it for 20 years. No stress, no part time job, just set and forget.

I cut a 45-minute podcast down to 12 in under ten minutes. With 1 prompt. This shouldn't be possible and yet here we are.

I've used Premiere since 2012. I switched my entire social team to VidTL in a week. The text-based editing is just obviously correct.

The auto-silence-cut alone saves me two hours per video. The multi-cam sync saves me another four. Worth every penny!

Frequently asked.

Does my video actually stay in the browser? +

Every cut, transcode, and render happens on your own machine. Files only leave your browser if you explicitly choose to sync them to cloud storage or use tools which require server processing. 

What browsers are supported? +

Chrome, Edge, Arc, Brave and Firefox (latest two versions). Safari works for viewing and light editing, but heavy operations are faster on Chromium browsers.

Can I import projects from Premiere or DaVinci? +

Yes — we support XML & FCPXML imports. Your tracks, clips, transitions, and markers come across. Effects are converted on a best-effort basis.

How accurate is the transcription? +

Around 99.7% word accuracy on clean English audio, and 95%+ across 64 other languages. You can edit the transcript directly if anything slips through.

Is there a desktop app? +

No — and that's the point. VidTL is designed to be accessed from anywhere on any computer, so it feels native without the 3GB download.

Can I cancel anytime? +

Yes. One click, no phone call, no exit interview. Your projects stay accessible on the free tier forever.
