Why we built the Escalium video editor
Made for 300 videos a month,now made for you.
Escalium started as a music marketing platform. Running ads for our artists meant making more than 300 videos every month, and every editor we tried slowed us down: hunting for footage, rebuilding the same text styles, guessing where TikTok's buttons would cover the captions.
So we built our own editor, with the clips inside, our styles saved once, and the phone screen of every platform right in the preview.
It got so good that it became a product of its own, and we keep adding to it every day.
