Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m Sam, founder of Bansi and Writesonic.
We built Bansi because long-form video editing is still painfully manual. There are various tools in the market for short video editing but no good ones for long form.
If you want a polished talking head video, you still end up spending hours doing the same repetitive work:
- cutting silence and bad cuts
- adding punch zooms and captions
- inserting B-roll
- cleaning up audio
- fixing pacing, transitions, and emphasis
Top creators use these techniques in every strong video. But most people don’t have the time, skill, or budget to do it consistently.
So we built Bansi, an AI video editor for long-form content.
You upload raw footage, and Bansi automatically applies the editing patterns great videos use, like smart cuts, punch zooms, captions, B-roll, sound design, and audio enhancement, to turn it into a polished, publish-ready video.
The goal is simple: help creators, marketers, founders, and agencies go from raw footage to finished video without needing to master complex editing software or hire an expensive editor for every project.
Thanks for checking out Bansi today, excited to hear what you think.

I tried Bansi and am genuinely impressed.
been editing videos for about 2 years now, mostly Canva, barely scraped the surface of Premiere Pro, and After Effects scares me. So I'm not a pro editor per se.
Bansi is what was missing. The b-rolls are smooth, the zoom-ins feel intentional, and the output doesn't look like AI generated at all. For someone like me this is a big deal.
Two things I'd love to see, any chance of letting users add their own clips or control the motion of individual elements? And is short-form editing on the roadmap?
Writesonic
@tanay_ahir Thanks for trying it, Tanay. Good to hear the B-roll and zoom-ins feel right. That's the part we've been testing hardest.
On your questions: custom clip uploads are coming soon. More control over individual elements is on the list too. Short-form is something we're thinking about, but long-form is the focus for now. That's where editing takes the most time and the least tooling exists.

Working on this was a lot of fun. The goal was simple: take the repetitive parts of long-form editing off your plate without making the output feel generic saving hours of your precious time. If you try it, please tell us what works and what doesn't

@sidhant_srivastava Sidhant's been heads-down on the zoom pipeline. The goal he describes is right: take the repetitive work off your plate without making it feel templated.

Builder here! 👋
Working on Bansi has been an incredible ride. We set out to make video editing really easy for you - the AI handles the tedious pacing, cuts, B-Rolls, zooms and what not.
As a dev, I’m always looking for ways to break things and make them better, so please be honest - what do you love, and what can we improve?

@sahoobishwajeet Bishwajeet's been one of the core builders on this from day one.

Super excited to finally share Bansi with the PH community. We’ve spent a lot of time obsessing over one question: how can we make long-form video editing feel 10x easier without making the output look generic?
We built it to remove the repetitive parts of long-form video editing: cuts, punch zooms, B-roll, captions, pacing, sound design, audio polish, etc.
Would love for you to try it and tell us what feels good, what feels missing, and what we should build next.

@ashish_bedi The 'doesn't look generic' constraint is the hardest one we set for ourselves. Ashish has been pushing the team on that from the start.

It was really a great experience building it, making it version managed internally and making sure everything just fits in well. Would love any suggestions / feedback for future iterations.

@himanshu512 Infra and version management. The work nobody sees but everyone depends on. Thanks, Himanshu.

Excited to introduce Bansi on Product Hunt.
We built it to take the heavy lifting out of long-form video editing—handling cuts, pacing, B-roll, captions, and more—without making your videos feel generic.
Would really appreciate your honest feedback: what works, what doesn’t, and what we should improve next.

@amrendra_kumar6 The honest feedback part is real. We need it. Thanks for putting this out there, Amrendra.
