Hera Launch

Congrats @peter_tribelhorn I was hesitant about the result, but after trying the first result got me excited and even trying to export the video and use it as my next launch. Well done guys. One more thing to think about adding is the animation sounds, background music, and voice over.

I've been a video editor for years and motion design has never been my strongest area. This looks super useful

Good job Peter! I was able to quickly make a decent video and with a few edits it's just what I need. What new features are coming?

Just tried it and honestly, this is AMAZING. First try, 0 prompt, 0 effort and the video generated is great !! Congrats @peter_tribelhorn @chia_lun_wu1 @hyung_lee @garrytan

This is the sleekest animation tool we have ever used. Way better than the replit slop

Congratulations

Hera sounds a bit funny as read by a Ukrainian..:) Congrats on the launch!

Congrats on the launch. Is it possible to prompt and fix certain clips?

Congratulations @peter_tribelhorn I tried it on phone and went with the default prompt from my website, it did a good job with a good starter video that I can play around with for a little bit and end up with some great results. I felt loading took too much for the website fetch, I think even more than the actual video creation. Again, a great product and definitely solves a pain. Good luck with your launch.

The "taste baked into the AI, not the user" call is the right one — most prompt-driven creative tools fail because they outsource judgment to people who don't have it (yet). Adjacent use case: I host the ModeLoop Podcast on financial modeling (https://open.spotify.com/show/0m...), and announcement videos for episode drops are exactly the recurring "ship fast, look good" need that's underserved. Quick question — does Hera handle audio-first content well (waveforms, episode covers, podcast clip animations), or is the current opinion-set tuned mostly to product-launch motion? Would buy day-one if so.

Congrats @peter_tribelhorn I’ve seen a lot of startups struggling with demo videos so definitely much needed tool! How does this compare to screen studio for product demos?

I’ve tried learning After Effects three separate times and I still can't get my easing right. 😂 The fact that you’ve handled the how it looks part so I can just focus on what it shows is the exact tool I need. Does it allow for custom brand font uploads, or are we limited to the baked-in presets? @peter_tribelhorn

Big congrats! Do the videos come in different aspect ratios for social, or is it mainly 16:9 for now?

Hey PH 👋 Peter here, one of the co-founders of Hera.

We started Hera because making a good launch video is unreasonably hard. Hiring a motion design studio costs thousands and takes weeks. Doing it yourself in After Effects takes weeks of learning. Most AI video tools sit in between: technically capable, but the output looks like AI made it, because they have no taste of their own. The user has to bring the taste through the prompt, and that's a lot to ask.

So we made a different bet with Hera Launch, our new extension of Hera: the AI should have the taste, not the user. We baked in opinions about pacing, typography, motion curves, and easing, the way a good motion design studio would. The user describes what they want to show. Hera handles how it looks.

The surprising part is what this unlocks. Once a launch video takes 10 minutes instead of 2 weeks, you stop saving them for the big quarterly moments. You start making one for every feature, every release, every announcement.

We built this for product teams that ship fast and want to launch often. If that's you, try it at [launch.hera.video](http://launch.hera.video). And if you're launching something soon and want a hand getting your first video right, DM me. Happy to give you free access and walk you through it personally.

Would love your feedback.
