“I still don’t have a promo video for Unicorn Platform because motion design is so expensive.”
— Alexandr Isora, founder of Paracast

The $2 000 Video Problem

If you’ve ever priced a 30-second product trailer you know the quote: somewhere between $2 000 and $5 000, two weeks of revisions, and “source files not included.” For indie founders and lean marketing teams that money belongs in runway—not After Effects.

Yet scroll any launch feed (Product Hunt, X, LinkedIn) and the posts that win eyeballs all share one trait: they move. Static screenshots are yesterday’s table-stakes; today’s timeline rewards motion.

Enter Paracast — Motion Design at Start-up Speed

Paracast is a web app that turns your landing-page URL into a polished promo video in under a minute. Paste a domain, pick a palette, and the engine:

Auto-detects your copy, logo, screenshots
Drops them into a hand-crafted motion-graphics template chosen for your product type (CRM, dev-tool, mobile app, etc.)
Outputs a vector-based MP4/WebM that stays crisp on 4 K, TikTok, or Times Square.

Need tweaks? A lightweight timeline editor lets you swap slides, fonts, or scene order without touching keyframes.

Five Strengths That Make Paracast Stand Out

Strength	Why It Matters
Speed-to-draft (< 40 s)	Keeps launch momentum—no waiting on agencies or Fiverr bounces.
Vector templates	Infinite resolution; one render fits YouTube, Shorts, and conference LED walls.
AI-guided, not AI-locked	The generator gets you 80 % there; human polish is a drag-and-drop away—no “deep-learning black box” surprises.
Flat, predictable pricing	A $280 lifetime deal or credit bundles mean you’ll never see “scope creep” invoices.
Plug-and-play API	Launch platforms like DevHunt already embed Paracast so every new listing auto-gets a trailer—free virality for both sides.

Who’s Already Using It?

Indie SaaS founders shipping their Product Hunt debut next week.
No-code freelancers upselling “promo video” without learning Premiere.
Open-source maintainers who’d rather code than animate.
Series-A marketing teams cranking A/B variants for paid social in hours, not days.

What’s Next on the Roadmap?

Template Marketplace – share-and-sell motion packs built by pro animators.
Brand Kits & Team Workspaces – lock colors and typography across every video.
Multi-format rendering – export the same storyboard in vertical, square, or widescreen with one click.
Analytics Layer – see which version actually converts before the ad budget goes live.

Founder Credibility You Can Trust

Alexandr Isora isn’t a newcomer chasing the AI gold-rush. He bootstrapped and sold Unicorn Platform, a no-code site builder famed for its pixel-perfect minimalism. Paracast carries that same “less-but-better” DNA: one button style, one clear workflow, zero complexity creep.
