Hey everyone! Sourav here, co-founder and CEO at Velo.
Building Velo has been one of the most challenging and rewarding things I've been part of. A team with a belief that making video messages should feel as easy as having a conversation.
The technical challenges have been wild: browser-based editing, AI voiceover sync, and a browser agent that records flows on its own.
Every layer pushed us into territory we hadn't been in before. We built things we didn't know we could.
But the reason we kept going is that I've been on the other side of this problem too many times: you know exactly what you want to say, you know it would land better as a video, and you just don't make it.
Because the gap between what's in your head and what comes out of a recording feels too wide.
Velo exists to make that gap disappear. And seeing people use it and actually share the video message instead of giving up - that's the moment that makes all of it worth it.
Grateful to be launching here. Would love for you to try it. 💙
I'm Ajay, co-founder and CTO at Velo. Super excited to launch Velo for the first time!
I've spent the last year obsessing over a weirdly stubborn problem: why is it still so hard to make a simple video message?
You know exactly what you want to show. You can explain it perfectly in conversation. But the moment you try to record it, everything falls apart - the pacing and the words are off, you re-record it four times, and the result still doesn't feel right.
We built Velo to close that gap.
Velo is an AI-powered tool that turns raw recordings, files, and URLs into video messages worth watching - pitches, tutorials, demos, async updates, courses, anything you need to show someone.
Four ways to create a video:
Record your screen: Capture any app or browser, naturally. Don't worry about getting the words right. Velo rewrites your script, enhances the voiceover, syncs audio to visuals, and delivers a polished video in minutes.
Upload a recording: Have a Zoom call, Loom video, or MP4 sitting in a folder? Upload it. Velo gives it a fresh script, clean audio, and synced visuals. That raw recording becomes something you'd actually want to send.
Paste a link: Drop in any live URL and tell the browser agent what to show, in plain language. It understands your intent, records the flow on its own, and produces a finished video. No recording needed.
Upload slides or images: Drop in a PDF or PPT. Velo converts them into a narrated video with automated zooms and cursor movements.
What Velo handles for you:
Script & voiceover: Transcribes your audio, rewrites it into a clean script, and generates an enhanced voiceover synced to your visuals. Adjust the tone, swap lines, or rewrite entirely.
AI avatars: Add an avatar that looks and sounds like you, or pick from public avatars.
Smart effects: Auto zoom-ins on key moments, plus spotlights, callouts, and cursor highlights.
Brand kit: Your colours, logos, intros, and backgrounds applied across every video.
Background swap, music, and intro cards: Set the tone and look without extra tools.
Share instantly: Generate a link or download the final file.
Who is Velo for?
Founders recording demos. Teams sharing async updates. Creators building courses. Support teams writing walkthroughs. Anyone who has something to show but doesn't want video production to be the bottleneck.
If you've got something to show, just Velo it.

We built this because we believe the showing part shouldn't be the hard part. We'd love for you to try it and tell us what you think.
What's the first video you'd make? 💙
Love this concept I literally do this in my personal all the time. Most of the time videos are easier to get the point across.
does it actually understand what matters in the recording, or is it mostly trim + zoom? curious how it handles long demos
Congratulations team Velo! Love the focus on closing the gap between raw intent and polished output. Regarding the AI Voiceover sync, if a user decides to edit the generated script after the video is processed, how does the engine handle the re-syncing of the visual timing? Does the browser agent actually "re-record" the sequence to match the new pacing of the speech?
This is great. Would surely test it out this week. Congrats on the launch!
Congrats on the launch!
The focus on 'early shaping' is what caught my eye—most AI tools try to be everything at once, but Velo feels like it's actually built to respect the user's existing workflow.
Excited to see how the environmental awareness layer evolves from here.
Huge congratulations on the launch 🚀
I gave Velo a quick try and was genuinely impressed, within minutes I had a polished video with smooth animations and a really solid overall result. As someone who’s not experienced in video editing, I found the process intuitive and easy to follow, which is a big win.
One thing I found a bit unclear: is there a reason we can’t add narration to a video that doesn’t already have audio? Since we can provide a script, it feels like enabling voiceover generation from scratch would be a natural extension and a valuable addition.
I’ll keep exploring and come back with more detailed feedback soon, excited to see how this evolves!
Nice idea
A lot of friction to just start using including the Chrome browser install. It would be good a 2-3 clicks max experience for a user to try.
Congrats on the launch!
I really love how cleanly it turns raw recordings into something actually watchable! this is such a real pain point, especially when you need to share product updates or demos quickly.
We actually just launched our product on Product Hunt a couple of days ago, so I can definitely relate, today is a big day, enjoy every minute of it
Wishing you a great launch and lots of traction!
recording a “quick video” and then re-recording it 5 times is way too real 😅. feels like the hardest part isn’t recording, it’s sounding like a normal human while doing it. if this actually fixes that, it’s a big deal
This looks like exactly what I've been looking for, so I'm definitely trying it today.
Can you control which moments get the zoom-in, or is it fully automatic?
Okay, but I am afraid that people will start to send me them with such frequency as voice messages :D
Jokes aside, quite innovative thing here on PH :)
Congrats team!!! After Google Vids 2.0, this is the most interesting video creation app I have seen on PH. I wish Loom also upgraded with AI features soon.
For content creators, the pricing might be too steep if they get only 3 to 30 minutes of avatar videos. Will there be any creator-friendly pricing tier introduced soon?
