Three eras of digital video.
Desktop put an editor on every computer. Mobile put a camera in every pocket. AI puts the whole shoot in a sentence.
01 · 1999 – 2009
The desktop era.
Editing software came to the home computer. With a camcorder, a cable and a free weekend, anyone could cut a film. You still needed the gear, the skills and the patience.
- Camcorders and tapes
- Cut on a computer
- Render overnight

02 · 2010 – 2023
The mobile era.
A camera in every pocket and an audience in every app. Everyone films now, vertically, all day. But you can only post what you were there to catch.
- Everyone films
- Vertical by default
- Only what you caught
03 · 2024 – now
The AI era.
Now you describe the shot and the best models make it: any place, any cast, any scale. Then you cut it like any other footage. That’s what Shotz is for.
- Describe any shot
- The best models
- Cut it in the same place
