We launched Velo on Product Hunt this morning without expecting anything.
I thought we'd spend the day refreshing the upvote counter. Instead, I got hooked on reading every comment, watching sign-ups roll in, and seeing users create their first Velo in real time.
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? 💙

@ajaykumar1018 Many congratulations Ajay and team for shipping this. :)
Since the first time I connected to @grege_rodrigues and @madalsa_b I wanted to hunt this product. This is probably the best video generation / demo app I have seen on Product Hunt.
As @andrewchen said... (see screenshot below), I recommend makers on Product Hunt use Velo to make their launch demos. I look forward to using Velo for my social content. :)
@ajaykumar1018@swati_paliwal It does a great job, plus we have a good chunk of users from India. We also have a bunch of Indian Avatars as well! Would love for you to try it out.
We use loom and then iMovie for text overlays highlighting product features. But there is no way to polish the speech. Which is where I think Velo would help.
Right now, our pipeline is loom + iMovie -> demo video with unpolished audio
Velo can really help with a simpler pipeline and better result. Then we could just use velo for a demo video with polished audio. It would help us save a lot of time
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. 💙

@sourav_sanyal Congrats on the launch! Is this English only? Would love to try it out in Turkish as well if there is support. I will definitely use it for my global launch strategy though, great product.
@ajaykumar1018@abod_rehman We run a VAD model to check for places with audio, then we listen to intent from the audio and screen and your tonality and auto edit the video.
@becky_gaskell The whole point was to capture your intent in your raw video. We do that through your voice and screen and thing figure out how we can automate your edits, we check for diction, tonality and emphasis on voice to give your video an auto edit.
@becky_gaskell We automate most of it to get you a solid first version quickly.
Then you can preview and tweak anything: script, timing, inside our video editor before sharing.
Report
@ajaykumar1018 That makes sense, getting a strong first version quickly is a big win. Are you finding people mostly stick with the AI edit, or spend time refining it before sharing?
@ajaykumar1018@becky_gaskell Most people are not editing and just sharing directly from preview. We are also launching a streaming version soon. Where the video generation process happens at the same time you are recording it. You would get your output in almost 15 seconds after you finish your recording.

a really glad you included a brand kit feature. most ai video tools look way too generic, so being able to bake in our own colors and intros from the start makes a huge difference for client demos. how many 'public avatars' are available on the free plan? @ajaykumar1018@grege_rodrigues@Velo
@samatnotte We keep the original intent from your audio and build on top of that It cleans things up and improves flow, but does not change what you are trying to say.
And you can always tweak it in the editor if it feels off :)
@alina_anitei You get automatic zooms and we've worked really hard to get them. We also have a full blown editor inside where you could control your zooms to the last pixel :)

Appreciate the hunt Rohan :))
Velo
@grege_rodrigues @madalsa_b @andrewchen @rohanrecommends
Thanks a lot Rohan, really appreciate you hunting us 🙌
@ajaykumar1018 Congrats, how well does it handle Indian accents in voiceovers?
Velo
@ajaykumar1018 @swati_paliwal It does a great job, plus we have a good chunk of users from India. We also have a bunch of Indian Avatars as well! Would love for you to try it out.
@ajaykumar1018 any plans for text overlay?

Velo
@chintant Yes, you can add text overlays as well.
Just create a Velo, open it in our editor, and add text overlays along with shapes, callouts, and other layers/effects.
This should help replace your Loom + iMovie setup while also polishing your audio
Velo
@chintant @ajaykumar1018 Hope you like it, do reach out to me sourav@usevelo.ai I'd love to learn more about your workflow
@ajaykumar1018 Upvoted! This is a real problem. Recording never feels as natural as just explaining it.
Velo
@ajaykumar1018 @findfeny That's why we built this, would love for you to try it out
@ajaykumar1018 @sourav_sanyal thanks and definitely keen to try it out.
Velo
@ajaykumar1018 @findfeny Exciteddd
@ajaykumar1018 I'm really looking forward to using the image upload feature.

@syaman Hey Sinan, we're launching multilingual super soon
Triforce Todos
Congratulations @ajaykumar1018 ,
BTW, how does Velo decide what to cut vs. keep from a raw recording?
Is it based on silence, mouse movements, or something else?
Velo
@ajaykumar1018 @abod_rehman We run a VAD model to check for places with audio, then we listen to intent from the audio and screen and your tonality and auto edit the video.
Velo
@ajaykumar1018 @abod_rehman Hey, would love to hear your feedback!
How are you approaching editing vs automation here, especially for people who want quick outputs but still need some control over the final message?
Velo
@becky_gaskell The whole point was to capture your intent in your raw video. We do that through your voice and screen and thing figure out how we can automate your edits, we check for diction, tonality and emphasis on voice to give your video an auto edit.

Velo
@sourav_sanyal that's great
Notte
Super clean product congrats! Genuinely nails a real pain, can't wait to use.
How do you mitigate the possibility of things drifting and feeling over-polished / losing the ‘human’ feel after the AI rewrite?
Velo
@samatnotte You just prompt the script writer to be very human or write like Paul Graham. Usually works for me
Notte
@sourav_sanyal haha Paul Graham is actually a great shout thanks
Velo
@samatnotte One of my most used writing style prompts
Velo
@samatnotte We keep the original intent from your audio and build on top of that
It cleans things up and improves flow, but does not change what you are trying to say.
And you can always tweak it in the editor if it feels off :)
Notte
@ajaykumar1018 amazing, thanks Ajay, can't wait to try
Velo
@ajaykumar1018 @samatnotte Would love to hear your feedback!!
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?
Velo
@alina_anitei You get automatic zooms and we've worked really hard to get them. We also have a full blown editor inside where you could control your zooms to the last pixel :)
