Exaecut: High-Performance Video Effects Built Like Game Engines

Marvin is a video editor from France and the founder of Exaecut, a new plugin platform that brings game-engine speed and responsiveness to professional video editing. Built for creatives who care about smooth performance and affordable tools, Exaecut is gaining early traction among editors fed up with slow, expensive plugin suites.


What problem does your product solve, and who is it for?

We make blazing-fast video effects plugins for Premiere Pro and After Effects.

Our approach is similar to how shaders work in video games. Focused on performance, stability, and real-time speed. We believe editing should feel like playing a game at 60fps, not waiting around for renders.

Exaecut is for editors who want powerful tools without bloated subscriptions or slow workflows.

What inspired you to start this? What’s your personal backstory?

We’re editors ourselves. We were paying thousands every month for plugin suites, most of which we didn’t need.

The plugins were often unstable, outdated, or poorly optimized. And worst of all, you had to pay for the entire suite, even if you only needed two or three effects.

So we started building our own. With Exaecut, you can either subscribe or buy effects one at a time - lifetime access, no strings.

Marvin’s adding a new high-performance effect every single month.

What’s your current traction?

  • $200 MRR
  • Around 25 paying users
  • A growing Discord community of 900 video editors

What’s one decision or moment that changed everything for your startup?

We’re still looking for it. Right now, we’re focused on building a rock-solid product and learning the marketing side.
