In their own words
Async
Async is an online AI video editor where users create and edit videos through chat. It can remove filler, pauses, repetitions, bad takes, and awkward moments. Magic Dust reduces background noise and clarifies voices, while chat can generate B-roll, visuals, scenes, or music within an edit. Users can add subtitles and turn moments from longer videos into short-form clips. Async presents the workflow for ads, vlogs, explainers, podcasts, and other formats, and says it is built for creators and teams. Its browser-based remote interview feature supports up to 10 participants with separate tracks; local recording and automatic transcription are also listed. The Voice API supports text-to-speech and speech-to-text, including streaming over WebSockets. Async is available on the web and iOS, with no Android version listed. The Free plan is free and includes 10 lifetime AI credits, one hour of media upload to AI chat, exports up to 720p, and 2 GB storage. Paid pricing starts at $11.99/mo (annual).
SFX Studio
SFX Studio is an AI sound-effects generator for film, games, trailers, and motion. Users describe what happens on screen and receive a sound-effects take. Listed sound areas include whooshes, impacts, transitions, UI cues, textures, footsteps, cloth, props, abilities, hits, pickups, ambience, and weapon cues. Foley prompts can cover movement, handling, and contact sounds, while game workflows include interface feedback, combat, magic, machines, pickups, ambience, and prototype audio. SFX Studio is the focused front door; the complete generation workflow runs inside TwoShot. New TwoShot accounts receive free credits at signup without a credit card or trial expiration date. The free tier has no watermark or resolution cap. Outputs are available as WAV and MP3, and commercial use is included. TwoShot’s integrations hub covers MCP, REST API, automation, IDE agents, and Coproducer. Plans are Free at free, Pro at $9.50 a month, and Credit pack at $15, paid once. Outputs cannot be directly resold, redistributed, or used to train models.
