Story Creator — Simple online video editing for digital creators
Story Creator is a simple online video editing tool for digital creators. You can think of Canva as Photoshop for dummies while Story Creator is After Effects for dummies.

At first glance, the product looks very promising @michael_joseph_aubry :) Is there a limit to how long the videos can be?

@gaurabhmathure Currently it's 10 minutes. With motion graphics and a lot going on that can eat up a lot of resources. I am working on scaling out the infrastructure. Once the system can consistently handle 10 minute videos with ease you can expect the limit to be increased :)
@yoavush No specific API -- I actually plan to release an API soon, that will be dope.
@michael_joseph_aubry at Coverr.co we developed an API for products like you to use, let me know if interested in hearing more. (it's free)
Congrats on the launch @michael_joseph_aubry! Love your comparison as the Canva for Video. Also really appreciate the synth/vaporwave music samples 👌 Looking forward to testing this out and comparing it to apps such as InShot. Are there any plans for mobile support?
@juan_perez2 Haha thanks, I love synthwave, the movie Drive got me hooked on it. I plan to expand the music selection soon though.
Mobile support will come once I build a team. My core focus right now is growth, I cant't wait to build it but it'll have to hold off for now.
I may release a basic mobile version to do quick video editing tasks, still brainstorming ideas around the future of video. Whatever it is, I certainly want to be a part of it.
Keep in touch, we're going to make it happen together.
@michael_joseph_aubry makes complete sense. The future of video and video editing is really exciting, love seeing apps like this. Best of luck and will continue to test our Story Creator with some projects.
Synthwave~ yess!!!
This is incredible! I've only spent 10 minutes trying it out and already so impressed. Congratulations on a successful launch day.
Story Creator makes putting together a professional looking video super simple. Super happy with the results of my first video and excited to make another one.
Nice work @michael_joseph_aubry
@mattcrail Can't wait to see it. Keep the vlogs coming, always fun seeing users creations :)
Awesome tool, @michael_joseph_aubry!! Love the effects you've implemented and super smooth. Thank you for this!! 🙏🏾 Would upvote 1000x if I could!
@devansood Devan thanks for the kind words. They need a Super Saiyan mode for upvotes. That would be awesome.
Really nice, polished product! Looks like a great tool for creating short videos for social media.
Was bummed that when going from creating a video in the demo -> sign up via Google, it loses the video you were making. Everything else was super seamless.
@futhey Awesome, thanks for the kind words.
Yes, that was on my mind today. A function was lost due to a major migration a few weeks ago. I will put that as a higher priority for the next users. I apologize if that was annoying.
Super glad you gave it a shot and liked it though :)
@michael_joseph_aubry Yeah, everything was smooth & super intuitive, which is why little things like that stand out :)
Second time seeing the tutorial was like "Wait, you forgot about me? I just made this dumb video where I didn't even change the placeholder text. I thought we were friends?"
Took like 10 seconds to remake :D
A bit late to the party - but I need to say that this is my fave product in these past few months. Literally my pocket tool for everything. Michael is also very hands-on with his customers, he debugged some issues for us on the spot!
@anitakirkovska thanks for the kind words Anita. I’m so stoked to have you on board using the product and glad to be one of your current favorites.
👋 Product Hunters! My name is Michael Aubry - the creator of https://storycreatorapp.com and I'm very excited to launch my project on Product Hunt!
💡 What is it?
https://storycreatorapp.com has been designed for creators to make videos for social media faster.
🤔 Why?
Gary Vee and others like him were paving the way for how brands should be marketing via Social Media. They make it seem so easy, then I tried to copy what they were doing -- I found myself tearing my hair out.
With little experience in After Effects, it was a pain to find assets and inspiration. Then I found myself Googling how to do things every 5 minutes.
I wanted a tailor-made video editor to help me pump out high-quality content in less time. I wanted something enjoyable and fun to use. When adding templates and assets they should only be one click away.
If you want to see what it's all about then go check out the product. Leave some feedback and if you would like to you're welcome to DM me on Twitter or leave a comment below 👇
@michael_joseph_aubry Congratulations on the launch of Story Creator.
Story Creator could be solving this need gap - 'Simple Video editor for beginner youtubers' posted on my problem validation platform - https://needgap.com/problems/148....
You're welcome to explain how Story Creator solves their problem for Story Creator to be found easily by those who need it.
@michael_joseph_aubry Glad you got it reposted properly! And my opinion still stands, this is a-m-a-z-i-n-g! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Such a dope product! Can’t believe it’s so easy to whip up video - something that’s super hard to learn.
@corey_haines Glad it was easy for you to use. Thanks for the kind words Corey.
This product is awesome! 👏 We already created a first Video for our Instagram Account. It’s super easy and the support was great!
Maybe in the future there could be an API to just change text and images and render new videos based on a template. 🤔 Just an idea... :)
@patte87 I cant wait to build that. Once I grow a team you bet we are going to be tackling this. I want to describe how to make a video to Alexa and have a news worthy video on Social Media. That would be epic.
I have only this to say... AWESOME product! The UI is so easy for a dummy in editing videos like me. Also, there are bunch of cool stuff you can add that I usually have trouble finding on other platforms, like cool animations, transitions, music...
Congrats Mike on being the PH #1 product!
@michael_joseph_aubry, A really great job with Story Creator, simple, great UI/UX and to top that quick and responsive
@iamvarunnair Glad to hear that and thanks for the kind words. That means a lot.
Bought the lifetime app.
This is exactly what I was looking for, if you ever need feedback on what's next - I would love my video to snap into the mobile element.
@kevin_ramirez2 Great feedback. I have that on the roadmap -- I want to add grouping as well. You're going to love it, good choice and so happy to have you in the family.
I became a paying user the moment I learned about this a few months ago. Extremely handy for adding the audio progress bar to podcast promotions, and adding text effects to get attention.
Huge value for a very worthy price.
@rememberlenny You're the best, also I really appreciate the feedback you immediately gave me. It helped the product significantly.
