Executive Summary

Many of the 1.2M course creators and corporate L&D teams today waste substantial time fixing irrelevant or unstructured AI-generated video drafts because outputs lack temporal metadata and are hard to edit into coherent lessons. As a result, teams still spend on average about $4K per year on production tooling and services to turn AI drafts into publishable content. Build a code-first video draft generator that emits layered, timeline-based project files (JSON/DSL) with scene descriptions, captions, camera moves and asset links so creators can edit at the code or UI layer instead of re-shooting or manually patching frames. The product would export to standard editors, support one-click renders, and let L&D teams apply reusable templates and metadata for tracking and compliance. The TAM is roughly $4.8B (1.2M creators × ~$4K/year) and is expanding as more subject-matter experts monetize content and enterprises shift budgets into scalable digital learning; improvements in generative models make structured, editable outputs technically feasible now. Where current tools produce opaque video blobs, a code-layer approach creates deterministic, editable drafts that integrate with existing toolchains, potentially cutting iterative edit cycles from days to hours and making outputs auditable for enterprise use. Key challenges are aligning generative models to produce reliable structure, building shallow UX for non-technical creators, and establishing integrations—these are solvable but require early engineering focus and strong product-market fit testing.

Market Opportunity

Reduce irrelevant AI video output by generating editable code-layer video drafts targets a $4.8B = 1.2M course creators & L&D teams × $4K average annual spend on production tooling and services total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 15% YoY (combined online learning and creator tools growth; sources: Statista, HolonIQ estimates).

Key trends driving demand: Creator economy growth — more subject-matter experts are monetizing knowledge, increasing demand for better course production tools.; Corporate L&D digitization — enterprises are shifting budgets to scalable video learning, creating steady mid-market demand.; Generative model maturity — models can now output structured descriptions and temporal metadata, enabling code-first generation.; Tooling for reusability — teams prefer assets they can version, translate, and repurpose across courses, favoring structured exports over one-off videos..

Key competitors include Synthesia, Descript, Pictory (and similar text-to-video tools).
