I really like the vision behind your product. It feels like you've got a good handle on what creators in this niche need. But, gotta be honest, the AI-generated B-roll isn't quite there yet. I get that generative AI is still finding its feet and can be a bit wonky and pricey, but right now, the stuff it's spitting out just doesn't cut it. The quality's below par, making it pretty much useless to me since B-roll automation is my biggest need. I mean, in today's world, nobody's gonna stick around to watch that.

And let's talk about the customization limitations on those B-rolls, thats a major drawback. Even if we could keep regenerating them until they're halfway decent, it'd take forever. At that point, we might as well just do it ourselves, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of using the tool.

I know this is an Appsumo deal, and early-stage tools often come with their quirks. But I think it's important to invest in tools that actually provide results from the start. Otherwise, it feels less like an investment and more like rolling the dice. Honestly, I don't see this tool getting a major makeover before my 60-day guarantee runs out. And I've been burned by too many broken promises on Appsumo to hope for a major turn in the coming weeks, and i need something that works now. I don't need something like Opus, but something that i can use.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you won't come through eventually. But right now, I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how to use this thing. The output's just not practical, and the rendering time is a snooze-fest. I could whip something up way quicker in Premiere Pro with the "autocut" plugin, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of using Slick.

I'm laying all this out because I genuinely believe in your vision for the tool. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother taking the time to write all this out. I've been itching for a tool like this to be functional for ages. I'm willing to give it another shot down the road and update my review then. But for now, the tool's just not cutting it. And that's my gripe with AppSumo sometimes — the tools should be usable right off the bat. I'm cool with early stages and all, but they gotta be functional.

Oh, and just a heads up, API access wasn't advertised for this deal, but it would've been a game-changer.
