Wave.video
"Don't build another all-in-one video suite - build the 'Video Quick Fix' tool that solves the 3 things creators actually need."
"One-stop shop fantasy - creators want to avoid juggling 5 different tools for recording, editing, streaming, and hosting."
Video processing is computationally expensive. Cloud costs can eat margins if not carefully managed. Also, Canva is adding video features aggressively.
The 4-Dimension Scorecard
$216k revenue shows strong demand for video creation tools. Market is validated and growing.
4.54 rating with 219 reviews indicates solid product-market fit but room for improvement. Users like it but aren't in love.
Video editing/hosting has clear value metrics (minutes processed, storage). Not an unlimited AI trap.
Competitors are strong (StreamYard, Vimeo) but focused - StreamYard on streaming, Vimeo on hosting. All-in-one approach creates complexity gaps.
The Opportunity Radar
Deep Review Mining & Gap Analysis
Pain & Gaps
"Users overwhelmed by professional editing tools want Canva-like simplicity for quick social videos"
"Content creators work on-the-go but desktop-focused tools force them to wait"
"Time is money for creators - slow exports kill productivity and momentum"
Niche Discovery
"Multiple mentions of needing quick TikTok/Instagram Reels creation without professional editing skills"
"References to needing simple editing for educational content without Hollywood production values"
"Comments about creating product demos and explainer videos without hiring agencies"
Marketing Angle
The 10-minute video editor for busy creators who don't want to learn Hollywood software.
Use this angle to position your product against the generic competitors. Focus on the specific pain points identified in the "Pain & Gaps" module.
The "Buggy Clone" Syndrome
- Jack of all trades, master of none. The 'all-in-one' becomes 'mediocre-at-everything' with bloated UI and hidden limitations.
Sniper Verdict
"Listen to the hate. Build the cure. Steal the revenue."
The Battle Plan
"Wave.video tries to be everything to everyone - recording, editing, streaming, hosting. The gap is a hyper-focused tool that does ONE video job exceptionally well for a specific audience. Social media managers need quick edits, not streaming capabilities."
MVP Build
- Drag-and-drop timeline editor (Why: 80% of users just need to trim, add text, and overlay music)
- One-click social media formatting (Why: Auto-resize for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube without manual adjustments)
- Template library for common video types (Why: Speed over customization for time-pressed creators)
MVP Drop
- Live streaming features (Why: StreamYard owns this. Don't compete with specialists.)
- Video hosting/CDN (Why: Vimeo/YouTube do this better. Not your core value.)
- Advanced color grading (Why: Professionals use DaVinci Resolve. Amateurs don't need it.)
