That is BY FAR the best product video I've ever seen. Wow. "Really makes me excited for the product."... well said! I think that's what marketing is supposed to do.

I don't even have to look at the credits to know who put the video together - https://sandwichvideo.com/
They are f*king awesome and produce the best ads/product videos i've ever seen in my life. Unfortunately extremely expensive (the cost of 2 Ferraris) - unaffordable unless you are a SV startup that has raised $millions :)

Yes! Extremely helpful and time saving. The app has changed since then but a few years ago I had a blast using it.
You can also indicate who is speaking as you generate a transcript. I would then export a closed caption file and use ffmpeg to generate the video based on who was talking before merging it with the audio (think no budget v-tuber, just a different image on screen depending on who’s voice is playing)
As for the product itself, I think the biggest "feature" is the ability to cut the audio by cutting the transcript, which makes it easier to quickly edit files. Transcribing is pretty common, the dubbing also sounds interesting but depends on how good the quality is.
I think the use-case for this is not YouTubers who expect high-quality, but social-media users who want to generate more average-quality content in a short amount of time.
