JavaScript tips, AI explainers, quick tutorials. The kind of content that works on TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Every single video needs the same things: a voiceover, captions synced to the words, maybe a code snippet on screen. And every single time, I'd open a video editor, import the audio, manually time the captions, add the code overlay, and export. For a 30-second video, this took 20-30 minutes of clicking around.
