Show HN: Milk Video - Capture, clip and ship video content
milkvideo.comSharing the latest iteration of Milk Video with HN.
Milk Video makes it easy to gather video testimonials, edit and share them in one place. We created a robust browser based video composition tool for teams that produce webinars, and recently added a feature to gather video testimonials via a link.
The overall application runs via a React application with a Ruby on Rails API. To gather video recordings, we use Daily.co as a recorder and stream the recordings using Mux. To composed new video with the collected recordings, we made a video rendering engine that breaks the source video material into frames, and screenshots individual frames of the composed final video. Once the frames are created, we reconstruct the video and add the audio tracks on for the final product.
If you have anyone in a Marketing team at the company you work at, I'd greatly appreciate sharing it with them and seeing what they think!
Thank you!
Very interesting approach! Trying this out right now. A lot of information gets lots with Typeforms, and this could be the disruption of this.
Let me also ask you, do you see yourself competing with Zoom recordings? Would the asynchronous approach be a value prop you would be doubling on?
The reason we made this is because you often need to juggle multiple tools when doing anything in video. Rather then using one tool for video collection, another tool for editing, and another for sharing clips - we wanted to have one tool for everything.
I believe we are the only video collection tool that also lets users design around the collected video clips in a free-form drag-and-drop editor and share out final videos.
I'm a Milk user and love the core product. Really looking forward to trying out this new feature.
Do you have suggestions for what to ask for from users when getting a testimonial? Or just let them run wild with it?
