Launch week: every idea card is free.Get Pro

SaaS ideas, mined from what people actually complain about.

Every idea comes from real Reddit posts, was researched against today's competitors, and survived an independent skeptic before it made the list.

Slow Manual Footage Search

Video editors waste hours manually scrubbing and organizing long raw footage to find the right moments before they can edit.

In their words

with 360 footage that balloons easily into like 4 hours, mostly spent in arguments with Insta360 Studio

r/Insta360 on Reddit

These videos are frequently lost or moved and no one can find anything so I’m always getting requests like “could you find a video of the winner of our competition”

r/editors on Reddit

as a small team it wastes a lot of time to see the full video and find clips from it

r/aiToolForBusiness on Reddit

Every minute of footage takes 5 min to review and edit unless you’re super fast or you sub it out to a pro editor.

r/mobileDJ on Reddit

Manually scrubbing ride footage is soul crushing.

r/gopro on Reddit

I can not remember any recorded demo where it was not necessarily to fix all these automatic zooms

r/macapps on Reddit

One of our guys ended up spending around 40 minutes going through a few cameras before finding them.

r/sysadmin on Reddit

There are folders named with the date and roughly the event, but the files are almost entirely MXFs and CRMs, so I can’t even quickly preview them.

How to efficiently sort through 4 to 5 hours of live footage to edit short videos every day ?

r/davinciresolve on Reddit

Most of that time was just jumping between cameras and going through footage trying to spot the same person and package again

r/lossprevention on Reddit

80% of my time is just spent doing grunt work before I can even get to the fun creative stuff

r/NewTubers on Reddit

it took us close to an hour to get there

r/Warehouseworkers on Reddit

I have a huge demand personally to run AI noise-filtering models on many TB per month of raw video files. It takes about 3 days per file.

Hacker News

most video ai tools just work off the transcript and miss everything visual. being able to say 'find the shot... would save me so much time

Where they talk

  • r/editors
  • r/davinciresolve
  • r/AI_Agents
  • r/NewTubers
  • r/ContentCreators
  • r/computervision
  • r/Filmmakers

Tools they use today

  • Premiere Pro
  • DaVinci Resolve
  • Claude
  • Opus Clip
  • YouTube
  • Cardboard AI
  • Descript
  • Gemini

Why those fall short

  • cryptic interfaces, vague requests, time ranges often wrong
  • MXF and CRM files cannot be quickly previewed
  • text-based editing is inaccurate and doubled the workflow
  • client timestamps are too random; scrubbing still takes hours
  • no cross-camera search; must check each camera separately
