Big fan of community-driven products like this. What's the most creative use case you've seen with Capsule so far, @champ_bennett?
Champ Bennett
@rrhoover Thanks Ryan! This one happened just yesterday: a big agency was pitching to win a multi-million dollar RFP. They used Capsule to share personalized videos from the team. Apparently it worked because they were writing to thank Capsule for helping them win!

Hi! If you have a comment for the makers, you can use Capsule to submit a video. We'll be replying to some comments with videos as well! Yes, we're a little obsessed with video. Why'd we make Capsule? It took ~10 years for video platforms to radically change way we create and consume information in our lives at home. Today, that same transformation is taking place at work, but on a very compressed timeline. Capsule is helping businesses adapt to this new reality with a collaborative video platform that makes it easy to direct and collect professional-looking short-form video. As one customer said, "You're like TikTok, for businesses." What are the use-cases? πŸ“Ή Customer testimonials πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» Content marketing 🀳🏽 UGC Campaigns 🀝 Events and networking πŸ™‹πŸ½β€β™€οΈ Video AMAs πŸŽ‰ Company comms and celebrations πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦ Community building + Dozens more Hear from the makers Leading up to launch, the team shot some videos for you (using Capsule, of course!). BONUS! We made FREE video template for all the makers our there! All the videos above were made with a limited edition Product Hunt video template. We're giving it away for free so that other makers can share their launch stories with video, too! To get it, just go capsule.video and create your first Capsule. Select the Product Hunt template before it's gone!

Honestly a lot of people can benefit from this especially start ups!
Champ Bennett
@preeti_chovoor Thank you! Aboslutely agree on start ups and that was our mission from the start. To democratize video for any business, large or small.

Champ when you demoed Capsule, I truly felt it is going to change the way people use video for many use-cases - product demos, social proof, creating content and more. Congrats to you and the whole team! Curious what's next on the roadmap?
Champ Bennett
@5harath Hey Sharath! Thanks for the kind words and jumping in with this question! Big picture we're building Capsule as a suite of tools to help people create more professional looking video content without and any video expertise. The next tool we're building is called Clips and it's the easiest way to produce awesome short video clips from longer content. πŸ‘‰ It's coming soon! watch the video + sign up for the beta here!

Great concept, and really good explainer videos. Excited to try this out - the Quick Create feature looks really useful. Congrats on the launch of 2.0, @champ_bennett πŸš€ OOI, how do professional users feel about not being able to remove all capsule branding?
Champ Bennett
@bertie Thanks for dropping in and thanks for the thoughtful question. The Capsule branding is only applied to the Personal and Creator plans. Once you get into the Pro and Enterprise tiers, the branding is removed. In fact, for our Enterprise customers, we go even a step further and offer a service to design video templates that perfectly match their brand guidelines! Ultimately we're going to make our video templating IDE available to developers so they can create their own video templates, too. Thank squarespace/wordpress but for video templates.
Dawn Veltri
Love the responsive video templates!
Champ Bennett
@dawn_veltri1 Thanks Dawn! Exporting to multi platforms was by far our most requested feature. We've been working hard on that one!
Pauline Maxwell
Looks pretty cool! Is this primarily geared towards startups or enterprises as well?
Champ Bennett
@getfortune500 Hey! Thanks so much. To bootstrap Capsule initially we sold it to enterprises where the contract sizes were much higher, but ultimately our vision was to build a product for businesses of all sizes. We raised our first round of funding in the beginning of 2021 to help us do it. We launched the self-service product shortly thereafter.
Ruben Wolff
Easily one of the best products for video creation I've seen launched here in quite a while. Congrats on the great job
Champ Bennett
@rubenwolff Wow Ruben - that's a huge compliment! Thank you so much.
Michael Bester
Looks like you guys are doing it right with Capsule @champ_bennett! I'm thinking about ways to incorporate it into a thing I'm currenting tooling away on. πŸš€ Exciting times!
Champ Bennett
@mibester Hey thanks Michael! So great to see you in here. And that sounds very interesting. We're actually working on some lower level APIs to allow for third-parties to integrate our camera into their apps. We should chat :)
Tyreik Thomas
Omg bless! So I can delete Adobe premier pro now?
Champ Bennett
@tyreikandrew HA! perhaps one day we will get there!
Karin
Capsule makes it easy to create professional quality video... which is especially useful when customers have a range of skills and production setups.
Champ Bennett
@karinklein Thanks so much all the support Karin!
Shruti Gandhi
I love Capsule and how it’s so easy to use! It cuts hours/days from a current manual process of gathering videos from your users such as testimonials, feedback, intros, etc. Their real-time video processing platform also makes you look really professional in matter of seconds!
Champ Bennett
@atshruti Thank you, Shruti!
Gabe Perez
The responsive video templates is killer, the amount of time spent resizing and adjusting is way too much. Congrats on the launch @champ_bennett !
Champ Bennett
@gabe__perez Thanks gabe! Appreciate you!
Sune B. Thorsen
Neat idea. I'll have to remember to return back to this if I need the functionality in the future. Seems well-put-together :)
Champ Bennett
@sunebthorsen Thanks Sune! Would love to see you there. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need a hand getting started :)
Chris Ashby
Love this, and great website πŸ’ͺ We're still in the early days of business using video as a bigger part of their content strategy so interested to see where this goes!
Champ Bennett
@chrisashby Chris - thanks, that's really nice of you to say. Agree it is very early days on businesses using video!
