Promising - Like OpusPro but missing some key features and doesn't work on mobile
Firstly, I would emphasise that this is a great deal - AppSumo is the place to come for these kind of early stage products that have a lot of promise for the future, even if they're not quite perfect yet.
I've used Opus Pro before and this is essentially exactly the same (it even has an identical interface and basic features...). However, Minvo is missing some key features like:
- Cropping the input video to remove unnecessary intro / outro sections (wastes credit).
- Two-frame templates, e.g. showing two faces on the screen at a time (one above the other) or a video feed + screensharing feed.
- Ability to set preferences for video duration, template, text style, background music (why is this even an option??? Importing clips with existing background music is a major no-no for most social media apps...), etc BEFORE starting the AI video generation (instead, Minvo requires loads of extra editing afterwards for each individual clip).
Also, it doesn't seem to work on mobile (kinda an essential, given that many of us post from mobile to apps like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, etc) - I can download on mobile, but not edit at all. I hope they prioritise making it fully mobile friendly soon.
It would also be helpful if they could show the transcript for the resulting short videos, rather than some weird AI generated summary, on the "moments" (results) page. It's a pain having to click "play" on each one to figure out exactly what section of the video was selected.

May 9, 2024Hi there, We're glad you found Minvo!
We actually DO have some of those features already!
1. click on the video to enable 2-speaker splits (tutorial coming soon)
2. you can now set the moment duration and prompt the AI to look for specific moments.
Other features will be coming soon, please request anything you like here:
