Craze is an AI video maker that plans, edits, and turns creative direction into finished videos in one place. It blends pre-production planning, generative production, and a post-production timeline editor, allowing users to direct with natural language notes while the system handles execution. The platform supports uploading custom footage, generating missing shots, and exporting to MP4, WebM, or an XML timeline for Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.

Problem
Traditional video editing requires significant technical skill and time, forcing creators to move between multiple tools for planning, production, and post-production. This fragmented workflow makes it difficult for non-editors to execute their creative vision, while experienced editors lose time on repetitive assembly tasks.
Solution
Craze provides an all-in-one AI video maker that covers pre-production, generative production, and a post-production timeline editor, so an idea reaches a finished cut without leaving the platform. The system reads the user's footage and direction, then assembles a cut by choosing takes, sequencing beats, and adding titles and captions. Users give notes as they would to a human editor, and Craze handles execution, while the timeline remains open for manual adjustments. It can generate video, audio, music, and motion graphics, and supports mixing user-uploaded clips with AI-generated shots on the same timeline.
Target Audience
Primary users are content creators, marketers, and filmmakers who need to produce polished videos quickly without deep editing expertise, as well as professional editors seeking AI-assisted workflows for faster turnaround.
