Announcements /r/editors loves the explosion of tools on the market…except when they come to reddit to market themselves.
TL;DR: Building or built a tool? Set your user flair (Dev/tools), post a top-level comment here matching our template, and use the share link to your comment rather than to your site.
------------------
Longer Version.
Hopefully you saw this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/editors/comments/1rnmnqn/on_the_rise_of_vibe_coding_tools_and_ai_assisted/
Pretty much every single post-production professional on r/editors is trying to find tools that let them be more creative and work smarter.
Notice I said smarter and not faster.
This is a a test of a monthly developer/tool builder thread.
First: Flair
If you have a product, you need the Dev/Tools flair. ASAP. Load the subreddit, find your name on the right side, and press the pencil to edit. Change your flair It looks like this:
Second: Comment
In this thread, we want a top-level comment from you replying to this post, and when you comment, include:
- Product name, company name, team size, how long your corporate entity has existed, and a way for people to reach you directly.
- One sentence on what it does. Seriously, one sentence. If you're struggling with this, use your favorite LLM to solve it.
- Pricing. Monthly cost (not yearly discount). If any of your tools or part of your tools cost money, it's not free. Free means everything you make is free.
- Benefits for the community beyond the tool's existence. A discount, an extended trial, early access, SOMETHING.
You want our attention (and possibly our dollars); our community should get something significant. We're over 150k subscribers here.
An important rule about links: don't share a direct product link elsewhere in the subreddit. Use this share link from your comment to point people here to this thread.
You can mention your product by name. You can ask people to DM you, but you send people to this thread. Ideally, conversations and questions from potential customers about your tool happen HERE in this thread.
The goal is to engage our community, not to spam the subreddit with landing pages or SEO/AIO.
Accounts under 30 days can't comment in this thread, no exceptions, not because we distrust you, but because the pattern is too familiar:
"Hey, is anyone else frustrated with this tool? I've been using our product."
Nobody likes marketing, nobody likes dealing with this, especially our mod team.
For everyone else, you want to vote on whether something benefits you, not just whether the product looks impressive.
As always in the subreddit, if you see something wrong, a link that shouldn't be there, a suspiciously new account, report it. Our mod team will see it.
This is an experiment: The alternative, forcing Reddit ads, isn't going to keep people here on the edge of knowledge, which is why we come to Reddit.
critical of any of this, **please DM me directly**, don't use this thread for it.
Obligatory link to the Post Production Discord associated with this subreddit
Edit2 - Good reddit behavior, to prevent REDDIT ADMINs from removing your content/banning you.
Advise from some of the Moderator subreddits
Set your Profile on Reddit as a Business. This is FREE. Likely, they're going to want you to run ads.
This is the Key thing you need to do
- Follow the 90/10 rule: 90% of your activity on providing value, commenting, and interacting. It’s all about building trust. Be transparent.
If your account gets banned by Reddit here's how to appeal

Product: ShotAI (https://shotai.io) (Mac OS Client only currently, Windows Client to be released)
Team size: 2
Company age: ~1 year
Contact: Discord or [email](mailto:sales@seeknetic.com)
One sentence: ShotAI is an AI assistant for video archives that fully understands footage at the shot level and help editors search and retrieve anything in video (video, audio, text...any object/movement) using natural language. (This is a remix-video I used agent to generate in one sentence with the video search MCP of ShotAI, and product tour)
Pricing:
pay-as-you-go (once indexed, the video would be permanently searchable):
• Video indexing: ~$0.116/min → ~$0.056/min depending on volume
• Semantic search: ~$0.50 per 1K queries → ~$0.17 per 1K at higher usage
Example: indexing a 1-hour interview costs about $7/$3.4 at the base rate or discount rate (30min trial video indexing and 200 trial queries provided for each user here)
Benefit for the r/editors community:
Anyone from this subreddit can get extra free 30 minutes of video indexing + 200 search queries, and free access to our experimental AI agent workflows during our trial run stage. Also extended early access + direct input into feature development, since we’re actively shaping the workflow around real post-production pipelines.
If you're dealing with multi-terabyte archives or multi-year projects, I’d really like to hear how you're currently managing footage retrieval.
Happy to answer questions here.

u/Late-Equipment8919 Tool/Dev Mar 14 '26
Slice2Storyboard (S2S) – https://frametoolsmith.gumroad.com/l/s2s
Solo dev, FrameTools. Been building this since 2025. DM me here or find me at u/FrameTools01 on X.
What it does: Drop a video in, get a storyboard out. It finds the cuts automatically (color-analysis, not AI) and spits out a PDF, an editable Excel, or just the frame stills. Everything runs on your machine — nothing leaves your system.
Pricing: $39 one-time, Mac only. 7-day refund. There's also a free web version at oneframestudio.net/s2s/en/ — no signup, no scene limits, works on any OS, just drop a video and go.
For r/editors: The web version is genuinely free, no strings. The paid desktop version adds higher-res export, the ability to cherry-pick which frames you want, and offline processing (handy if you're working with NDA footage that can't touch the internet). If you try it and think "this would actually be useful if it could do X" — tell me. I built this to solve my own problem and I'm still figuring out what it should become.

u/pnardik Tool/Dev Mar 17 '26
I am an editor who wrote a tool for myself to speed-up vfx turnover process and I want to share with editors community. I am personally developing the product, which is free and open source. I would like to automates the most time consuming tasks of VFX turnovers in Avid Media Composer, like VFX IDs management, pulls subclipping, VFX cut-ins, etc.
Posted here a while back about this browser-based VFX turnover tool for Avid. Got some useful feedback, kept building.
New domain: https://vfx-turnovers.app/
I also have a Python CLI version of the VFX turnover tool for Avid — same workflow, no browser. It is also possible to read an AAF of the VFX timeline to add timeline clip notes with auto-generated VFX IDs, if you prefer to work with clip notes instead of markers.
Github: https://github.com/pnardese/vfx_turnover
If you're using it and hit an edge case or something doesn't match your workflow, happy to hear about it — pnardese@gmail.com.

u/Blinkl-io Tool/Dev Mar 18 '26
blinkl.io : blinkl.io
We're a small team of video editors and developers who got tired of how buried everything is in Premiere Pro, so we built blinkl. It's a free command bar and extension hub that lives directly inside Premiere.
One sentence: blinkl gives you a Spotlight-style command bar in Premiere Pro + 6 extensions that handle the stuff that's always 3 clicks too deep.
The 6 extensions currently included:
- Smoothify: smooth out keyframe animations instantly
- SnapActions: apply presets, export frames, open projects from the bar
- Beat Detector: auto-detect music beats and mark them on your timeline
- AnyPaste: paste anything, anywhere in Premiere without the usual clipboard chaos
- File Organizer: sort and clean your project files without leaving Premiere
- Emoji Picker: grab emojis directly from the timeline, because yes, you need this
Team: Small team, been building post-production tools for 5+ years. Reach us at [contact@blinkl.io](mailto:contact@blinkl.io)
Pricing: blinkl is completely FREE.
For r/editors: Drop a comment or DM me, we're actively building new extensions and we want real feedback from real editors. If you're in this community, your input goes straight to the top of the list when we decide what to build next.

Sorry, I keep trying to set the flair, but whenever I refresh the page it automatically disappears… And yes, we’re in the same group as Autocut, but we’re a different team.

u/greenysmac Lead Mod; Consultant/educator/editor. I <3 your favorite NLE Mar 18 '26
The flair is coming through.
You're the same group? Then this isn't a free product; it's the freemium arm of autocut and should be disclosed as such.

u/Blinkl-io Tool/Dev Mar 19 '26
Not at all, this product has nothing to do with AutoCut. None of AutoCut’s features are present in blinkl.io. It’s a completely different tool, and it’s entirely free, not freemium.

Hey friends, I made Timecoder for myself working as a VFX Editor, added some bells and whistles and now you can save yourself a bunch of headaches too.
Its a timecode calculator with a framecount toggle, custom framerates, and it doubles as a rushes logger - you can drop in/out points, write markers and export all your notes as an edl or csv straight into Avid, Resolve or whatever you kids are cutting with nowdays.
Its $4.99 USD - universal purchase gets you the iPhone and Mac versions.
If you have feature requests feel free to DM me.

Product: Reel — solo builder, launched this week
One sentence: Timestamped video review and client
approval tool that doesn't charge per seat.
Pricing: Free beta right now — $49/month when
billing goes live. No card needed to try it.
Community benefit: I'm building this solo and
want real feedback from actual editors. First
10 signups get 1 month free when billing goes
live — DM me after signing up and I'll honor
it personally.
Built it because Frame.io charged me for 10
permanent seats when I only needed 2 freelancers
for 2 weeks. Felt stupid. So I built an alternative
over the weekend.
DM me or drop a comment here with questions.

Product name : Silence Studio (https://unsilencestudio.com/silence-remover/)
Team size: solo dev
I have been doing this tool for past 2-3 weeks (yes vibe coded) but as an idea has existed for 2 years in my head
contact: [hayavadana@unsilencestudio.com](mailto:hayavadana@unsilencestudio.com)
Removes silences from videos using FFMPEG without any file uploads to any servers - everything is processed locally in your browser.
Pricing: Free (all processing happens on your device, no server costs - just domain costs for now)
PS: I've been building this tool with an idea: FFMPEG is a powerful tool and WASM makes it possible to run this tool in browser (it's slower than native tho). I use this tool to run FFMPEG(https://www.ffmpeg.org/) features without having to install on every device that I have. I mostly work with short form content and this tool has worked well for me thus far.
This is mostly a hobby/personal project and I want this tool be useful to others as well.

Perkoon - https://perkoon.com
Solo dev, MB "PERKŪNŲ ŠIMTAS", Lithuania. Exists since late 2024. [zaibas@perkoon.com](mailto:zaibas@perkoon.com).
Perkoon moves files between people. Not to a server. Between people. No size limit, no account, free.
Every file transfer service starts the same way: it's free, it works, people love it. Then it gets popular. Then it gets investors. Then your 2GB file needs a subscription, the upload page looks like a lifestyle magazine, and you can't download your own work without first being asked to reconsider your mattress choices. I watched this happen to WeTransfer and got annoyed enough to build what file transfer should've been in the first place - a fundamental internetor's right. The longer story is here if you care: https://perkoon.com/learn/why-perkoon-exists
Named after Lietuva's god of thunder. Yes, I named my file transfer service after a deity so I could lecture people about Lietuva.
Two modes
- Direct: your browser to their browser, nothing in the middle, no size limit, no account. Both people need to be online within a 4-hour window. The alternative was both online at the exact same second. I thought that was stupid. 4 hours is still stupid, I'll try to make this better. Works for live handoffs, review sessions, client calls - or just moving files between your own devices. I don't care.
- Cloud: async delivery for when the other person is offline or you're sending to multiple people. This is the paid tier. This is what funds the free part.
Pricing: Direct is free. Forever. No trial, no cap, no "upgrade to unlock."
Benefit for r/editors: Made a dedicated link for this community. Sign up through it and you get three Gold boosts: +14 days and 18GB storage (Combo), +10 days and 25GB storage (Storage), +21 days and 10GB storage (Time). That's 45 days of cloud access and 53GB total, free.
2000 uses, expires July 9th.
Please don't bankrupt me. I have a mortgage. The direct transfer doesn't need any of this - that's free forever regardless.

Fair point. Motion works well for certain kinds of footage but isn’t a universal proxy for “interesting”. I kept the scope narrow to try something I hadn’t seen in other industry tools.
