We're [Runbo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/runboli/) and [David](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidhu2000/), and we’re building [Magic Hour](https://magichour.ai/), a video creation platform that makes it easy for anyone to create professional-quality videos.\n\nImagine swapping your face onto [Anne Hathaway’s](https://vimeo.com/919285653?share=copy) in The Devil Wears Prada, or transforming [Michael Jordan](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0etTFPu82Y/) into a marble statue shooting a game-winner in the Colosseum.\n\n**Try Our Website**: [**magichour.ai**](https://magichour.ai)\n\n![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/uj-ZNSVmwSdWtWRUhHFLgD15D5jMgY15bfHB-ZqNZqo4widCmOnzG23lk7XMCuZahyrBie0WUW1T6SyhgbAocdpOanu9vfNtZ6Io9DNQdt2ni5BGj1Tth5gy3JMk2PsTtv879SvBJeKxY3UQusUQvYs)\n\n**The Problem**\n\nMany creators, professionals, and businesses struggle to produce enough engaging, high-quality videos due lack of video production expertise and constraints on time and budget.\n\n**The Solution**\n\nWe take the best open-source AI models, figure out the best settings, and put them in a user-friendly UX so anyone can create high-quality videos in three easy steps: **choose a template, customize it, and share it**.\n\n**About Us**\n\nOur moms are best friends and introduced us in 1997 (left). Magic Hour is born out of experiences helping our parents market their small businesses, where we learned how hard it is to create engaging video content.\n\n![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/wO2hXAv9DwXnRIIawRUkI2NMU2Jz4N3pLBWLRahJBSmMQl-tsjBHfEcA3iCanBClT4KculXKeeR0uavWcXtmTRqeKk0sqyMXuVrj-cXbQ3oHPUW16DyTDnYECf0DYdXFuYCc9zN6QKQ8eWdhOYIf_KY)\n\n**Our ask**\n\n* Try \u003chttps://magichour.ai\u003e\n* Share with friends and family\n* Give us feedback at [founders@magichour.ai](mailto:support@magichour.ai) \n* If you have any connections to businesses that make a lot of video content, especially professional sports teams, we’d love to connect\n\nFeel free to reach out at [founders@magichour.ai](mailto:support@magichour.ai) anytime!","slug":"KZ1-magic-hour-create-engaging-videos-using-ai","created_at":"2024-03-05T01:39:16.302Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T01:26:04.018Z","total_vote_count":23,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/KZ1-magic-hour-create-engaging-videos-using-ai","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":29461,"name":"Magic Hour","slug":"magic-hour","url":"https://magichour.ai","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/57875ffefcede579f19a1952d91ce8fd43305cc7.png","batch":"Winter 2024","industry":"Consumer","tags":["Artificial Intelligence","B2B","Video","Media","Creator Economy"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/29461"}}
