WeVideo is the online video editor that makes it easy to capture, create, view and share your movies at up to 4K resolution for stunning playback anywhere.
Our online video editing platform democratizes the creation of incredible video stories, using the power of the Cloud to ensure that cost, complexity, and technology are never barriers. WeVideo makes it possible for friends and families, teachers and students, and businesses small and large to create incredible videos that inspire, motivate, and form indelible memories. WeVideo began life as Creaza, an online creative toolbox which by 2010 was used by hundreds of thousands of children in Europe. As high-quality video recording became readily available to billions of people through smartphones, the developers recognized a hunger among consumers, educators and small businesses for easy-to-use storytelling tools for the masses.
What’s astonishing is the fact that the app was created and is being developed by a single person: Ivan Kutskir, a 28-year-old programmer based in Prague, Czech Republic. Kutskir spent 7,000 hours developing the app while studying computer science in college — about 5 hours a day for 3.5 years — and last month a whopping 1.5 million people used the app. Kutskir only recently started placing ads on the app and now makes a decent income from his project.
WeVideo's founders crossed the pond and set up shop in Palo Alto, California, the heart of Silicon Valley and in close proximity to innovation leaders at Apple, Facebook, Google, HP, LinkedIn, and Twitter. They quickly gathered around themselves a team that saw the confluence of widespread video recording capability, the unlimited potential of cloud-based storage and processing, and a deep seeded need for people to share their stories on YouTube, Facebook and other platforms.
WeVideo also attracted the attention of Google which saw WeVideo as an ideal partner for its cloud-based collaboration and storage services. Google was so impressed that it partnered with the barely one month old WeVideo to bring a full-featured video editing solution to YouTube. This was the beginning of an important relationship. Today WeVideo is a Google for Education partner and is the exclusive digital storytelling solution for Google's Education Creative Bundle for Chromebooks. Through this program, WeVideo helps to empower millions of students worldwide.
Whether for Hollywood or home, video processing has always demanded the most expensive, up-to-date, and complex hardware and software resources. WeVideo pioneered a radical shift that leverages the unlimited computer processing power of the Cloud to make it possible for anyone with access to even the most humble computer or mobile device to have the power of a supercomputer at their command.
WeVideo is leading a movement that is putting powerful creative tools within reach of everyone. Why not give it a try? The next time you capture some video with your phone or video camera, visit wevideo.com, start an account, and see what we can create together.
