Launch HN: Prism (YC X25) – Workspace and API to generate and edit videos
Source: Hacker News
Overview
We’re Rajit, Land, and Alex, building Prism – an AI video creation platform and API. Prism keeps the entire workflow in one place, allowing you to generate assets (images, video clips) and assemble them directly in a timeline editor without downloading files between tools.

The Problem with Current AI Video Creation
Creating an AI video today typically involves stitching together a dozen separate tools (image generation, image‑to‑video, upscalers, lip‑sync, voiceover, editor). Each step requires export/import and file juggling, scattering assets across tabs and local storage. Iterating on a multi‑scene video becomes slow and cumbersome.
How Prism Solves It
- Unified workflow: Generate assets and edit them on a single timeline without leaving the platform.
- Model flexibility: Try different models (Kling, Veo, Sora, Hailuo, etc.) and settings for a clip, swap it on the timeline, and iterate without re‑exporting.
- Templates & one‑click recreation: Reuse workflows from us or the community. Templates are exposed through our API, enabling AI agents to discover them, supply inputs, and generate videos repeatably.
- Reduced “glue work”: No more constant downloading, prompt/version tracking, or manual stitching in separate video editors.
Pricing
- Usage‑based credits.
- Free tier: 100 credits/month and free models, no credit card required.

Call for Feedback
We’d love to hear from people who’ve tried making AI videos:
- Where does your workflow break today?
- What parts are the most tedious?
- What do you wish video‑creation tools could do?
