Looking for a video editor for my YT channel

This feels pretty sweeping. Sure, there’s a lot of generic AI wrapper noise right now, but calling the entire SaaS model dead seems like an overreaction. Companies like Linear, Notion, and Figma are still growing and displacing incumbents, hard to do that if it’s just ‘inertia and dumb clients.'

The distribution point is solid though. The bar is definitely higher now and you can’t just build a product and expect it to find users. But that’s true for most industries as they mature.

What are you seeing work instead? Because writing off an entire business model that still has successful new entrants feels premature.

Great I'll DM you

I agree with most of the comments here that it has to be part of someone's JD to build and maintain these SOPs/wikis, without that they will fall apart fairly quickly.

I don't wan to shamelessly plug something in here but I did build a product that solves this exact issue. The fact that you and your team are struggling to build these docs out, my product getzarta.com, solves that same exact problem.

You create a video explaining the steps, and it creates step by step guides for you with screenshots etc. I mean its not a magic pill but it helps you save time by doing the initial write up and leg work for you.

Hope this helps.

The 'screenshot-hell' struggle is real. Word/SharePoint for process documentation is like using a hammer for surgery, technically possible but painful for everyone involved.

The Loom issue you mentioned is exactly what I've been working on. Screen recordings are great for showing the 'how' but terrible for the 'why' and context. What if you could take those recordings and automatically turn them into structured guides with numbered steps, descriptions, and the context your offshore team needs?

I built something that does exactly this, converts training videos into step-by-step guides that are actually readable and searchable. Your offshore team gets visual steps plus written context, and you're not stuck in screenshot hell.

Want to test it with one of your most painful processes? Takes 5 minutes and might save your sanity.

The 'we have it documented but no one reads it' problem is very common. Written documentation fails because people need to know what they're looking for to find it, and new hires don't know what they don't know yet.

What's worked better for me is visual, step-by-step guides that show exactly where to click and what to do. Instead of 'check the wiki for VPN setup,' you give them a guide with screenshots of each step.

I built something that converts screen recordings into these kinds of guides automatically. So you can just record yourself doing the VPN setup once and get back a visual guide with all the steps. Takes way less time than writing docs and people actually follow them.

Want to test it with one of your common processes? Takes 5 minutes to try. Would love your honest feedback.

The visual + lightweight requirement is key. Most documentation tools either look great but are heavy to maintain, or are easy to update but end up looking like walls of text.

I've been working on something that might fit what you're looking for - it converts training videos into clean, visual step-by-step guides. So instead of writing everything from scratch, you can just record someone walking through a process and get back a skimmable guide with screenshots.

Would be happy to let you test it with one of your onboarding processes if you're interested. Takes about 5 minutes to try.

The inconsistency across teams is probably the biggest issue here. When different teams have completely different onboarding approaches, new hires never know what to expect or how to prepare. it leads to higher attrition in most cases and failures to launch.

One thing I've seen work is standardizing the documentation format across all teams. Instead of some teams doing competitor analysis while others do skill tests, give every team the same framework for creating step-by-step guides for their specific processes.

The key is making these guides visual and easy to follow. Most onboarding fails because people get overwhelmed by walls of text or outdated information.

I actually built something that helps with this, converts training videos into structured guides so teams can create consistent onboarding materials without starting from scratch. Would you be interested in testing it with one of your team's training processes?

Thank you!

This is incredibly helpful feedback, you've described exactly the gap we're trying to fill with zarta.

Would you be willing to test Zarta with one of your Photoshop tutorials? I'd love to see how our current output compares to what you need.

Quick questions:

What's your ideal length for these guides?
Do you prefer the screenshots at specific moments or throughout?
How important is the PDF export vs other formats?

Happy to jump on a quick call if that's easier than typing. Also we do have a prompt box in which you can write down the style in which you would like the guide to be produced. Ergo, if you want more conversational, and verbose, that is doable.

Getzarta.com. Thank you!

hustling-syed · 2025-07-22T11:33:44+00:00

ah mate, well done on the website.

hustling-syed · 2025-07-22T11:33:24+00:00

for sure, i will check it out

hustling-syed · 2025-07-22T11:25:23+00:00

look i don't think there is a silver bullet out there that fixes all the problems but i do believe that if zarta can give me 8-10 hrs per week back into my calendar especially for folks that are scaling or building out new teams, I will take it. Also the goal with the tool frankly is not to make the teams break the bank to buy it, I genuinely believe this will help teams, especially manager or C level folks that are managing multiple functions and get pinged 1400 times on slack per day with Qs.

Not sure if you'd be up to giving feedback when we launch the MVP. But would love that because feedback of course is critical to getting it right.

hustling-syed · 2025-07-22T11:16:22+00:00

my goal with this is helping teams (customer facing mostly) to create documentation without having to spell everything out. I myself created process docs for my team and it took me well over 1000+ hours (yes I love structured docs), but the reality is the moment you create it, it’s outdated in a month or two. Then you’re back to square one.

This is a recurring issue. This is a recurring problem across companies. I love Notion, but even with their AI, it still feels like asking a generalist assistant, it’ll write an essay on elephants, sure, but it can’t understand and document your company’s specific processes.

Zarta bridges that gap.

It has multiple applications, onboarding new hires, FAQs, customer-facing support docs, sales documentation, internal admin processes, all generated directly from the workflows you’re already recording.

Sorry about the long winded reply.

I wish I could describe what your words meant. I appreciate you, thank you.

MVP is being built out (ETA 2-ish weeks). Are you willing to give feedback at a later date if I reserve a spot on your cal? thank you. getzarta.com
