Exciting project! With so many companies thrust into remote only, the potential for sharing information via video is huge. I always say, if a picture is worth a thousand words, video is worth a million. (But, you have to consider that 1M words then is a processing problem for the viewers.)
The promise you wrote up really speaks to me. But the demo video doesn't look like much beyond a web based PPT tool. I'm struggling to see why I would use that over a generic tool like Google Docs.
When I was at a large fortune 500 company I saw others struggling to understand deep technical discussions without the video. I built an internal video sharing tool and would hound people to record their presentations so I could host them. It wasn't YouTube scale but thousands of people watched these videos, especially less technical team members that probably wouldn't have been invited to those meetings or wouldn't have felt safe to ask questions in those meetings. It was a big success in my opinion as a way to share tribal knowledge.
Good luck, very exciting space, especially because of Covid-19.

Appreciate this observation. For people who've not done much video editing before we want Tella to feel as familiar as possible (e.g. editing a slide deck). Equally, we'd eventually like people who do know their way around a video editor to feel like they can create what they want in Tella.
Yes, and I definitely got that from your write up. It's a huge opportunity.
I'm not sure how easily you can add the things I'm excited about into a demo video, namely the idea that you can post process video in a browser. The things you describe, synchronization, etc are really time sinks even when you know what you are doing and have the right tools. If you capture 10% of the functionality and make it automated and simple, you'll have a winner. Maybe you already have this, I haven't played with it, sorry if I'm ignorant about the true offering!
Yeah the demo doesn't illustrate the MediaSync aspect very well. But if you give the product a go you ought to get a sense of what we described in the implementation part of the write-up.
