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.

Video Editing Handoff Friction

Video editors repeatedly perform manual, error-prone tasks across NLEs and VFX tools because clips, metadata, effects, and timelines don't transfer or sync reliably.

In their words

I kind of hate Premiere Pro's project manager, as half the time I get errors that make it hard to consolidate projects and it takes me a day to figure out what is wrong

r/editors on Reddit

If the captions are made in CapCut, it becomes frustrating to go back and update the video.

r/premiere on Reddit

Currently debating getting opus clips Pro for that reason so I save more time instead of manually editing.

r/podcasting on Reddit

Premiere is the single greatest source of work stress for me right now. It's super buggy, it lags, pinwheels, freezes, and crashes constantly.

r/premiere on Reddit

half the time i don't know which plugin will save me 3 hours of keyframing

r/content_marketing on Reddit

I'd like to achieve exactly that — a streamlined workflow and consistent look between my photo and video work, but without sacrificing the quality of stills.

r/davinciresolve on Reddit

Software devs are shoehorning prompt boxes and auto-generative tools into every single update instead of fixing playback drops, timeline lag, or bugs that have been broken for years.

r/AfterEffects on Reddit

it can just double my work if they come back with amends after the grade

r/editors on Reddit

Right now I open each timeline, load a preset, add to queue, rename the output, and so on... for every timeline.

r/davinciresolve on Reddit

compared to how fast I move on the picture side it feels clunky, and I never feel like I’ve found a workflow I fully trust

r/finalcutpro on Reddit

man the amount of times i had to explain to client why their export look different in quicktime vs vlc is crazy.

r/colorists on Reddit

I needed to duplicate/modify 96 compositions

r/AfterEffects on Reddit

when you hit undo once it could undo multiple recent changes (never know how many exactly, just have to guess)

Hacker News

one thing that would make me actually switch though is proper proxy generation for 4k footage, my laptop struggles with raw timeline scrubbing

Video editors and post teams

Where they talk

  • r/davinciresolve
  • r/premiere
  • r/editors
  • r/AfterEffects
  • r/VIDEOENGINEERING
  • r/videography
  • r/kdenlive
  • r/colorists

Tools they use today

  • Premiere Pro
  • DaVinci Resolve
  • After Effects
  • Resolve
  • Avid Media Composer
  • Kdenlive
  • ComfyUI
  • Final Cut Pro

Why those fall short

  • resolution change wipes project or screws up element positions
  • devs shoehorn prompt boxes instead of fixing playback drops and timeline lag
  • Resolve sharpening oversharpens and adds fringing; can't match Capture One detail
  • Blender lacks SFM-style shot cutting; scenes and 1-frame snaps are awkward
  • None correct the deformation; stabilisers assume instability, not deformed frames.
