Executive Summary

Many small businesses, local brands, and independent creators face a persistent production bottleneck: platforms reward frequent short clips but creating dozens of 15–60 second, on‑brand videos per month requires skilled editors, equipment, or expensive agency retainers. Across an addressable pool of roughly 10 million businesses and creators who currently spend about $1,000 per year on video creation tools (a $10B market), the pain is time, cost, and inconsistent brand quality. You could build a web‑native, AI‑driven platform that converts plain text and user assets (images, logos, raw clips) into finished short marketing videos automatically, producing near‑instant drafts and batch variants optimized for different platforms and aspect ratios. Key features for an MVP would include a brand kit, templates, auto‑captioning and voice synthesis, scene/storyboard generation from a script, an API and bulk uploader, and export scheduling to social platforms. A freemium model—free exports with a watermark and paid tiers unlocking HD output, commercial licenses, team collaboration and analytics—aligns with creator expectations and supports a realistic $200–2,000 ARPU range depending on target segment. The market is attractive now because short‑form dominance, multimodal model improvements that enable rapid draft generation, and creators' willingness to pay for workflow automation converge to lower acquisition costs and accelerate product–market fit in the next 12–24 months. To stand out you must prioritize output quality and brand fidelity (not just speed), invest early in moderation and rights management, and offer workflow hooks (asset libraries, A/B testing, platform integrations) that agencies and SMBs find operationally indispensable—technical complexity and competition are real challenges, but a focused product that proves clear time and cost savings can capture a meaningful slice of the $10B market.
