Alpha Program - Limited Access

For creators ready to escape the editing grind.

Look, we'll be honest. This is alpha. It's focused on A-roll assembly right now. But it already saves hours on the most tedious part of editing.

We need creators who:

  • Currently spend 6+ hours editing

  • Want their time back

  • Can handle some rough edges

  • Will actually tell us what needs some love

Not looking for testers. Looking for co-creators.

prismiq FAQ

Your questions about faster, smarter video editing

Getting started with prismiq

  • No editing experience required. If you can upload a file and click buttons, you can use prismiq. We've designed it for creators, not editors. The technical complexity is hidden—you just see your story coming together. That said, if you're an experienced editor, you'll appreciate how prismiq handles the tedious parts so you can focus on creative decisions.

  • prismiq excels with narrative-heavy, talking-head content: tutorials, reviews, commentary, educational videos, and vlogs with significant A-roll. We need words to work our magic. If you spend hours organizing and cutting your spoken narrative, prismiq is perfect for you. We're initially focused on solving this specific problem exceptionally well before expanding to more visual-heavy content types.

  • Yes! Vertical, portrait, horizontal, or landscape—prismiq handles them all. While we're currently optimized for traditional YouTube content with talking-head A-roll, we support any aspect ratio. We're focused on solving one problem exceptionally well first: the fact that editing professional-grade videos can take up to 40 hours for complex projects. Enhanced short-form optimization is on our roadmap as we expand beyond our alpha phase.

  • prismiq is a web application that works on any device with a modern web browser. Mac, PC, even Linux—we don't discriminate. Currently best viewed on desktop, prismiq gives you the freedom to edit from anywhere without expensive hardware or software installations.

  • We're selectively choosing 50-100 creators who are serious about escaping the editing grind. Apply at prismiq.pro with details about your channel and current editing struggles. We're looking for creators editing 6+ hours per video who want to be co-creators, not just testers. Your feedback will directly shape the product. Spots are genuinely limited—this isn't marketing hype.

Core features & capabilities

  • prismiq automatically identifies and removes pauses, dead air, and filler moments during the assembly process. Our system analyzes your speech patterns and narrative flow, cutting out awkward silences while preserving natural pacing. We also have an intuitive way to remove irrelevant or unnecessary words in our editor. Unlike manual editing where you'd spend hours scrubbing through footage, prismiq does this instantly. The result? Tight, engaging content that keeps viewers watching—and you get your evenings back.

  • Absolutely. This is one of prismiq's core strengths. When you record multiple takes of the same segment, our media intelligence analyzes each version for clarity, energy, and lack of stumbles. It automatically selects the best take for your assembly cut, but you can preview alternatives and swap them with one click. No more watching yourself repeat the same line 5 times to pick the best one—we've already done that for you.

  • prismiq includes automatic transcription and caption generation as part of our narrative analysis. While we don't yet generate on-screen subtitles, we're processing your spoken content to understand story structure, so accurate captions are a natural byproduct. These sync perfectly with your edit and export with your project, ready for YouTube's caption requirements.

  • prismiq processes your footage in the cloud using intelligent proxy technology. You work with lightweight preview files in our web application, while our exported files (EDL/XML) link directly to your local full-quality video files—whether that's 1080p, 4K, 8K, or beyond. This means smooth editing even on modest hardware—no expensive computer upgrades needed.

  • prismiq handles all major formats YouTube creators use to record (whether from iPhone or Android): MP4, MOV, and more. We process modern codecs including H.264, H.265/HEVC, and ProRes. Upload straight from your camera or phone—we'll handle the rest. Our focus is on making the technical aspects invisible so you can focus on creating content, not managing codecs.

prismiq versus other editors

  • prismiq offers a fundamentally different approach than traditional editors. While tools like Premiere are powerful, creators spend 3-6 hours editing medium-length videos (5-15 minutes), with much of that time spent on tedious A-roll assembly. prismiq automates the most time-consuming part—turning your raw talking-head footage into a structured narrative cut in minutes, not hours. You can then export to your favorite editor via EDL/XML to add your creative touches. Think of prismiq as your editing assistant that handles the grunt work, so you can focus on creative refinements.

  • Yes, prismiq is designed to be intuitive from day one—no steep learning curve like DaVinci Resolve's node-based system. While DaVinci is incredibly powerful for color grading and professional work, prismiq focuses on one thing exceptionally well: getting your A-roll assembly done fast. Upload your footage, and our narrative intelligence organizes it automatically. No complex timelines, no technical knowledge required. You can literally go from raw footage to rough cut in the time it takes to watch your content once.

  • While Descript focuses on text-based editing and inVideo.ai emphasizes template-driven content creation, prismiq's philosophy and approach centers around storytelling. We take a narrative-first approach specifically designed for YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram Reel creators. Instead of editing text to edit video (Descript) or filling in templates (inVideo), prismiq understands story structure and pacing at a fundamental level. Our system analyzes your content, identifies the best takes automatically, and builds your narrative flow based on proven YouTube structures. This storytelling-centric approach is very different from these tools. We're not just processing words or applying effects, we're helping you craft compelling narratives that keep viewers engaged. Ultimately, helping you scale as a content creator.

  • prismiq doesn't replace these video editors—it supercharges your workflow before you even open them. Most professional editors say editing takes about 1 to 1.5 hours per minute of finished video, with the assembly phase being the most tedious. prismiq handles that assembly in minutes, then exports via XML directly to your preferred editor. You keep all the creative control and finishing power, but skip the part that has you "scrubbing the timeline at 2am."

Workflow integration

  • prismiq works best with raw footage at the start of your workflow, not as a midstream solution. However, we export standard EDL/XML files that seamlessly integrate with your favorite editor. Think of prismiq as your first step—we get you from chaos to rough cut, then you take it to your favorite NLE (non-linear editor) for finishing touches. This preserves your existing workflow while eliminating the most time-consuming part.

  • prismiq focuses on A-roll assembly and narrative structure, then hands off to your creative tools for effects and graphics. After you export from prismiq to Premiere via XML, you can use Dynamic Link with After Effects as usual. We handle the tedious organization and cutting; you handle the creative flourishes. It's about working smarter, not replacing your entire toolkit.

Saving editing time

  • A basic talking-head video with minimal cuts should be simple, but creators lose hours on repetitive tasks: reviewing footage, selecting takes, removing pauses, and building basic structure. As a rule of thumb, expect 30 minutes to an hour of editing time per minute of finished video—and that's for simple content! prismiq eliminates this bottleneck by automating A-roll assembly, turning hours of work into minutes of automated processing.

  • The biggest time-saver isn't learning more shortcuts—it's eliminating repetitive tasks entirely. prismiq cuts editing time by 75% by automating the assembly phase where you typically spend 40-50% of your total editing time. Instead of watching your footage multiple times to make cuts, prismiq analyzes it once and delivers a structured edit. You go straight to creative refinement instead of organizational tedium.

  • Medium-length videos (5-15 minutes) usually require 3-6 hours with traditional editing. With prismiq, that same 10-minute video can have its A-roll assembled in under 15 minutes. Add another 30-60 minutes for B-roll, titles, and polish in your preferred editor. What used to be a 6-hour marathon becomes a 90-minute focused session—leaving you energy to create more content or actually have a life outside YouTube.

Your creative journey

  • Consistency is king on YouTube, TikTok, and other platforms, but maintaining regular uploads is challenging. 87% of video marketers get good ROI from their videos—if they can stay consistent. prismiq makes consistency achievable by removing the editing bottleneck. Film on Sunday, assembly cut done in minutes, polish and publish by Monday. No more missed upload dates because you're still in "editing jail" at midnight.

  • While we can't solve all of YouTube's challenges, we attack the biggest energy drain: endless editing sessions. When you cut editing time by 75%, you're not just saving hours—you're preserving creative energy. Finish editing with enthusiasm left for community engagement, planning next videos, or simply resting. prismiq isn't just about faster editing; it's about sustainable creation.

  • prismiq helps you publish more consistently and maintain consistency in style and structure in your content—both crucial for YouTube growth. When you're not exhausted from editing, your on-camera presence improves. When you can iterate quickly, you can experiment more. When you publish regularly, the algorithm rewards you. We don't promise viral videos, but we remove the technical barriers to growth.

Pricing & Access

  • prismiq is currently in alpha with limited access for serious creators who want to help shape the product. We're not following the freemium model—we're building a professional tool that delivers massive time savings worth paying for. Alpha testers get founder pricing when we launch. If you're spending 6+ hours editing each video, the time saved pays for itself in your first project.

  • We're inviting a small group of content creators to join our Alpha Program—be one of the first 100 creators to cut hours of wasted time and shape the future of editing. Here's how it works: Apply (takes just 2 minutes, honestly), we'll review applications, you'll get your create-your-account invite code, start creating, then tell us what works, what doesn't, and what's missing. You're perfect for this if you edit your own videos (and know the pain), create talking-head content like tutorials, reviews, or vlogs, actually care about making this tool better, and can handle some early rough edges. If that's you, we'd love to build together. Real creators. Real feedback. Real impact. Ready? Apply at prismiq.pro—takes 2 minutes, no BS.
