  I got tired of spending hours editing short videos, so I built something — curious what people think

  Hey everyone,

  I’ve been noticing something about myself (and a lot of people around me).

  Coming up with ideas for videos is actually the fun part.
  Recording them is easy too.

  But somehow… the moment editing enters the picture, everything slows down.

  You open the footage, start adjusting things, fixing captions, trying to make it “look right”… and suddenly the whole thing feels like homework.

  And a lot of good ideas just stay in drafts.

  So over the past few months I’ve been building a small tool called Obula with a simple goal:

  Take a raw video clip and prepare it into a clean, ready-to-post short video automatically.

  The idea wasn’t to replace professional editors or advanced tools.

  It’s more for people who:

  • want to start posting content
  • want to stay consistent
  • but don’t want to spend hours learning editing

  We’re planning to open it publicly very soon, but before doing that I genuinely wanted to ask people here:

  Would something like this actually be useful to you?

  Or do most creators still prefer editing everything manually?

  Also curious about things like:

  • what part of editing slows you down the most
  • what would make a tool like this actually worth using
  • what would make you immediately avoid it

  I’m mainly looking for honest feedback so we can improve it before launch.

  And if anyone is curious to try the early version and share thoughts, I’d be happy to send access.

  Appreciate any thoughts 🙏
