JSON2Video is a functional, well-documented video editing API with genuine utility for developers and marketers automating content. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and vague data ('everyone', 'marketcap: null'). While the technology is sound and market timing is favorable due to the rise of short-form video, the project's score is heavily penalized by the lack of verifiable traction data and the unreliable nature of the provided inputs. The product exists and competes in a valid niche (e.g., against Shotstack), but the submission fails to demonstrate its actual scale.
