Two years ago, I was frustrated with video editing. Every time I wanted to create content, I'd spend more time editing than actually creating. That's when the idea for Zemo was born.
💡The "Why" Behind Zemo
I'm not a video editor by profession. I'm a developer who wanted to share ideas through video but kept getting stuck in the editing process. I'd record a 10-minute video and spend 2 hours editing it.
The worst part? Most of that time was spent on repetitive tasks:
- Removing "ums" and "ahs" from my speech
- Cutting out long pauses
- Adjusting audio levels
- Adding captions manually
I thought: "There has to be a better way." That's when I started exploring AI for video editing.
🚧Early Challenges
Building an AI-powered video editor is harder than it sounds. The first challenge was understanding video processing. Videos are complex - they have audio tracks, video tracks, different codecs, frame rates, and formats.
Then came the AI part. Training models to understand speech patterns, detect filler words, and make smart editing decisions required a lot of experimentation.
But the biggest challenge was speed. Nobody wants to wait 30 minutes for a 5-minute video to be processed. We had to optimize everything.
⭐What Makes Zemo Different
There are other video editing tools out there, but most of them still require you to know how to edit videos. Zemo is different because it's designed for people who don't want to learn video editing.
Our approach is simple:
- Upload your video
- AI automatically detects and fixes common issues
- Get your edited video in minutes, not hours
🔮Looking Forward
We're still in the early stages. Zemo can already remove filler words, generate captions, and create highlights automatically. But there's so much more we want to build.
Our vision is to make video creation as easy as writing a blog post. Upload your raw footage, describe what you want, and get a polished video ready to share.
We're not there yet, but every day we get a little closer. And every user who saves time with Zemo reminds me why we started this journey.
