Just launched videocode 🚀 make videos and images programmatically using CSS
Hi, I've been working on this side project for a while. I wanted to make videos programatically and I couldn't find a solution with the customisation that I wanted so I ended up building my own.
https://videocode.io lets you create videos and images (.png images, animated .gif and .mp4 videos) using HTML and CSS. You can create videos and images in the web editor, or use the code generated by the editor as a reference to make dynamic content using the API.
This is a (very) rough MVP. Any feedback is appreciated.
This is pretty neat! What do you think will be the main business use case for this? A few years ago, I tried to create something like this for video demos of products, but it was an app rather than an API.
Hey, thanks for the the reply.
I think the main uses cases are replacing manual image and video creation with an automated process to save time.
For example, for marketing you can make one design and send API requests to dynamically generate videos or images with different text or colors according to the brand or campaign you are targeting.
One of the good things about using CSS for the designs is that it can be "responsive", so technically you could make just one design and use the same design on landscape or portrait on different social media platforms with different height/width requirements.
I see the target user as companies that generate a lot of images and videos, so this may be overkill if you want just a couple of images and videos.
