    This is a sharp direction.

    Treating video as portable structured data instead of a component tree is a much more interesting angle than just “create videos from code.”

    One thing I’d watch is the name. VideoFlow explains the category, but it also sounds close to a lot of generic video workflow tools. The product itself feels more like a developer engine for programmable video generation.

    If this grows beyond an open-source toolkit into serious video infrastructure, a more ownable .com like Exirra.com would probably age better than staying inside the descriptive “video workflow” frame.
