Three eras of
making video.
Every era of video put the camera in more hands. This one hands over the whole crew. Here’s how we got here.
01 · 1990 – 2006The tape
The tape
era.
Making a film took a crew, a camera hire and an edit suite booked by the hour. The people who finished things did it for a living.
- Crews only
- Edit suites by the hour
- Tapes in a drawer
Suite B · booked 4 hrsTC 01:02:14:08
Recents4,812 videos
02 · 2007 – 2024The phone
The phone
era.
Everyone got a camera in their pocket, so everyone films. Thousands of clips in every camera roll, and almost none of them ever edited.
- Everyone films
- Nobody edits
- Camera rolls full
03 · 2025 – nowThe AI
The AI
era.
Now you can generate the shot you didn't get and cut it in the same place. The crew, the edit suite and the missing shot, in one tab.
- Generate the missing shot
- Edit in plain words
- Every model, one plan

“I’ve cut ads on tape, on drives and on phones. My own trip videos were still sitting in my camera roll. So I built Shots.”
