Pain Points:
- High Localization Cost: Re-creating videos for each target market—dubbing, translating on-screen text, switching currency—gets expensive.
- Workflow Complexity: Managing multiple language versions and assets is a nightmare.
- Cultural Missteps: Literal machine translation can cause embarrassing errors and miss emotional nuance.
Solution (Micro-SaaS): A one-click, end-to-end video globalization pipeline. Upload a master video; AI outputs localized versions for every market.
MVP Core Features:
