Hi, we're CapSend π
Send someone a link. They tap it, record on their phone's browser, and the video lands back with you.
No app. No login. No "can you resend that, it came through weird."
Link in the replies π
@SueHorner@TribeInc Same test works for exec video scripts. If the CEO wouldn't say "utilize" at the coffee machine, it shouldn't be scrolling past them on a teleprompter either.
Feature spotlight: uploads while they record.
Your exec hits stop and the clip is basically already in your inbox, ready for the all-hands cut. No staring at a progress bar like it owes them money.
Getting a 30-second video from your CEO:
Week 1: "Sure!"
Week 2: "Remind me Friday"
Week 3: films it at the airport, texts it, arrives sideways
Or: one link, teleprompter by the lens, done before boarding.
@buildwithsid The secret is usually the question, not the edit. Ask a customer how their experience was and you get a brochure. Ask what almost made them not buy and you get a story.
@Shwinnabego The "they don't always watch, it's the appearance of them" part is so real. A row of real faces does trust work before anyone hits play. Which is also a good argument for keeping them short and parking them near the buy button.
@MacWorsham@PRDaily Asking the same trust questions every quarter is such a good move. It turns "the town hall went well" into a trend line the CEO can't argue with. Also, respect to whoever answered Uncrustable. Most honest take on a comms calendar I've heard.
@HenryJEvans The all-hands should win every time, but it usually can't be scheduled fast enough. A two-minute video from the leader, in everyone's inbox before the press gets it, is the version that actually beats the headline.
@DTCtalent_ The trust job gets a lot easier when the person on screen is an actual customer. A real face in the first second is a pretty solid hook on its own.
@sagupta_nyc Which creator converts is the one that hurts most. Same story with customer clips: the best testimonial you have is useless if nobody remembers where the original file lives.
@boagworld Almost good is painfully accurate. So often the missing piece is proof: a named customer, a real number, ideally a face. Looking forward to the Aaardvark one.
@AmasCreates Hosting the wall is the easy part to rebuild. The hard part is still getting customers to actually hit record. We build CapSend for that side, and honestly that's where all the friction lives.
Hot take: the best remote footage doesn't come from the fanciest phone. It comes from the person who wasn't stressed out by the process.
Agree or disagree?
Video producers: constant frame rate MP4.
That's it. That's the post.
(CapSend gives you the original file *and* an edit-ready CFR MP4, so your timeline stops drifting.)
@Manojkumar2257 Local editing is great for client privacy. The other half of the battle is getting the footage from the client in the first place without it going through a chat app and arriving looking like a potato.
@pierreeliottlal Funding announcements are basically a public calendar of companies that just got budget and need to look good fast. Unfair is the right word.
@willia_mbrown Collect customer testimonials is quietly doing a lot of work in the $10k tier. It's also what makes the paid ads in the $25k tier actually convert.
@yann_srg Smart way to bootstrap proof. When each video starts ranking, ask the founder for a quick clip about the results. If that ask ever gets slow, CapSend lets people record from a link on their phone, no app or login, and you get the original file.
