VideoGen makes it easy for anyone to create professional, copyright-free videos in seconds. Making videos is hard, time-consuming, and expensive if you hire someone to do it for you. With VideoGen, it only takes a few clicks!

VideoGen solves the biggest pain points of video production—complexity, cost, and time. In just a few clicks, anyone can create professional, copyright-free videos without breaking the bank. As YC founders, Anton and David built VideoGen to empower creators and businesses to produce content at scale, faster, and more affordably than ever before.

Hi Anton! VideoGen sounds like a game-changer for anyone needing quick, professional videos. How customizable are the videos generated with your platform?
Anton Koenig
@alex_dulub You can easily add simple customizations after the generated video, like uploading your own music, adding custom media (images/videos), and changing the caption style. Open to suggestions!

I like how you are not only relying on AI generated videos because simply they are not yet ready for mass use without some tweaking, but opted to focus on relying on existing assets. There is definitely enough footage enough for B-rolls in that 3M asset library. I'm curious how do you differ from all the other AI video editing/gen tools out there? They all seem to have features like generating script, video timeline, music and TTS. Congrats @antonckoenig and team on the launch! Thanks for the hunt @garrytan.

@tonyhanded +1 on your question 💡 would love to hear the founders' take on their differentiators 🙌
Morgane Granier
Congrats on the launch! 🎉 Excited to try it out—making quality content fast is a huge win for anyone in marketing or content creation... or when you're a founder with no team to do it 😂

@morgane_glt Thank you! Our goal is to keep empowering individuals to create the best videos.

Love the support from different languages and accents - this def gonna change how creative marketers launch campaigns. Makes it easy to test copy and visual and create dozens of variations. Congrats on the launch! 🤠
Anton Koenig
@ali_eskandari We worked super hard to improve language support! It's important to us!

Hey Anton, can I generate video from the transcripts I got for my podcast? I have only got an audio-only podcast and was wondering if Videogen can genearet videos based off the transcripts of my episodes.

Launching soon!
After 100-day streak here on PH, I've seen a good deal of video creation tools. Now, VideoGen is one I'll definitely give a try! The UI/UX looks neat, just the way I like to craft mines.
Vishnu Suresh
@endiluamba Thanks and it will only continue to get better.
Alexander Kovalov
Looks awesome! Now faceless TikTok and YouTube channel owners have unlimited source of content to post. New economy creates a demand, and you offer a brilliant tool for them. What are the next features in your roadmap?
Anton Koenig
Hey everyone! 👋 I’m Anton, co-founder of VideoGen, and I’m so excited to share what we’ve been working on. It’s been a journey—David and I used our Palantir and AWS internship savings to bootstrap VideoGen out of college, and now we’re proud to serve thousands of customers. We believe video is the highest bitrate and most engaging medium of communication, but video editing is too hard and cluttered with too many buttons. Our mission is to make video creation accessible, fast, and easy for everyone. Got questions or feedback? Drop them in the comments—we’d love to hear from you! Thanks for being part of this journey with us!

The AI-Powered video template feature seems amazing! I always spend too much time when working on videos, but with VideoGen, I think I can save time innovatively! Congrats on your launch @antonckoenig
Anton Koenig
@kellypoly Thanks so much :)

Great tool! I´ve noticed that the spanish version is not fully translated and have some mistakes..wanna talk about it?
alexandra.kozareva
Congrats on this launch! I have been looking for a way to generate professional looking videos. Will be trying this.
Vishnu Suresh
@alexandra_describy Thanks! Let us know your thoughts.

This seems super intriguing what was your motivation behind creating this?
Jan Bogaerts
Yep, you got something good here, I think. Definitely for people like me. This is a skill extender. I'll probably start playing a little more with it over the weekend. Thanks for the code, that'll help. One thing that's going to be important for me, which I think is possible, but haven't tried yet, is to upload some of my own images that can be incorporated into the video, like screenshots or short videos of an application.
Anton Koenig
@jan_bogaerts Great! Thanks for trying out the product :)
Nifal Adam
Amazing! Curious to know how different it is compared to InVideo?
Josephine Mary
Just tried Video Gen. lts really cool, saves a lot of time to create videos especially for socials. Congratulations on the launch @antonckoenig l and the team
Khaled Hassan
I'm not entirely happy that I have to give out my credit card info to get the free month, even if I can cancel my sub straightaway.
Vishnu Suresh
@khaledhass Hi Khaled, we have a limited free-version of the platform that you can access without putting in your credit card information. You will be able to generate a video, choose narration operations, etc.

Congratulations on your launch! I tried it end-to-end to create a Tiktok ad, and it's not really usable. The voice is robotic, and the images are low-quality with spaghetti text. Would be helpful you could show me some best use cases.
