We tried out the demo last summer (which was a bit of manu-mation before the product was fully built out -- kudos to Lenny & crew for doing things that don't scale) and had a great experience! Here's an example of one of the videos we got via Milk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4jOqVqyAo8

Excited to circle back and try it out again now that it's software instead of humans doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes!

Thank you!

Context here - before we started working on the current software, we planned to do a opaque marketplace for post-production video work. To vet the idea, we reached out to companies with webinars and manually edited their videos.

In the process, one finding was that its hard to make styled word-by-word highlighted captions. This resulted in a small utility app that turned SRT and VTT caption files into a dynamically sized/styled caption videos, and later evolved into todays product.
