seems like the landing page is detracting from the main product, this is good feedback so thanks! For now, avoid the scaries and head directly to https://edit.mosaic.so to try the actual canvas interface

Since video is your thing, I feel like you need to just make a very edited demo reel and put all your energy into trying to get people to watch that video. Meaning, remove almost all text and bloat from the site and just show us all the cool stuff the product does for/to video editing. Distill it to 60-120 seconds and put that on your landing, hell put it on auto play if you want to, so long as it's clear that is the one thing I'm supposed to be paying attention to

yeah I think a demo reel of a BEFORE vs AFTER immediately somewhere in the hero even or right below it would be helpful

I've put the /edit and /docs links in the first sentence above to soften the blow as well :)

They really managed to handcraft a unique user experience, that's for sure.

thanks for the feedback — you can head directly to https://edit.mosaic.so to try the actual canvas interface

Please don't cross into personal attack. We're trying for the opposite on this site.
