Research

Pain Point Analysis

I reviewed user feedback on Trustpilot, App Store, Reddit threads (r/VideoEditing, r/Filmmakers), and comments under YouTube tutorials. I identified 5 key pain points and estimated how well the platform addresses each.

The two biggest gaps:

"Which track fits my video?" — Recommendations exist, but no preview on the user's video.

"What did I use in that project?" — Download history exists, but no smart link between track and project.

Pain Point Artlist Coverage Main Gap
Endless scrolling ~70% No analysis of uploaded video
Can't remember what I used ~40% No smart track↔project linking
AI promises much, delivers little ~50% No iterative dialogue
Don't know what to choose ~30% No preview on video & A/B
Every video from scratch ~30% No personal presets

Competitors

I looked at Luma, Runway, Pika, OpenArt, and Kling — AI tools for creators where new interaction patterns are being shaped. Neither gap is fully addressed by any platform.

"I can't remember what I used" — no one solves this.

"I don't know what to choose" — Luma Brainstorm comes closest: it helps articulate mood and direction. But it stops there — it doesn't analyze the user's video or match a specific track.

The gap: no platform offers video analysis + track matching + an explanation of why.
