// the problem
Sound Familiar?
Subscription math that never works
"I can't convey how much I hate subscriptions." Another $15–199.99/month. Cancel and you lose everything you built.
The credit trap
You burn credits on takes you throw away, and whatever's left expires at the end of the month.
Too many tools, too much friction
Images in one tab, video in another, and a separate bill for each.
Unlimited, until it isn't
Pay for unlimited and you land in the slow queue, or the unlimited window closes the week a new model launches.
And here's what actually happens. You burn through a month of credits in one afternoon trying to get the perfect shot. You stop experimenting because each generation costs credits you might not get back. You get conservative. And conservative is where good creative work goes to die.
You're not creating anymore. You're budgeting.

“The storyboard to timeline thing is what got me. You block out your whole sequence, hit generate, and it all just lands in the editor ready to cut. It actually feels like a real production tool.”
Robert Weaver
Founder, Brilliant Games
“You just type @character in the prompt and it pulls the right reference into every scene automatically. I don't have to dig through folders or paste anything. It just knows who they are.”
Sean Disero
Lighting Artist, Humanoid Origin
“I use it for concept art and previs for game cinematics. Being able to generate a bunch of variations in the grid and then pull only the ones I want saves me so much time in the ideation phase.”
Monique Mazereeuw
Senior Environment Artist, Skybox Labs
“I'm so tired of everything being a subscription. I just do this for fun on weekends. You buy it once and it's yours, no meter running. That's how it should be.”
Matt Rafuse
Finish Carpenter
“Tried like five different AI video tools before this. They all feel like web demos. This one actually has a timeline and keyboard shortcuts and stuff. It feels like software.”

“I run a candle business and I could never justify paying someone to shoot product videos for every launch. Now I just make them myself and they actually look on brand.”
Sarah Swanson
Small Business Owner
“I've been messing with AI video tools for my music stuff and this is the first one where I didn't have to bounce everything out to another app just to put clips together.”
Marshall Rasmussen
Musician & Producer
“I don't make content or anything, I just wanted to put together birthday videos for my girls. Had it done in like 20 minutes. The grid where you pick from 9 options is so good.”
Brian Bento
Pest Control Technician
“I shoot drone footage for local businesses and the AI transitions between clips are insane. I used to spend hours in After Effects just to get a smooth sequence. Now I drop my aerials in, generate transitions, and it looks like I hired a whole post house.”
Dee-Jay Valenzuela
Drone Videographer
“The DaVinci Resolve export is clutch. I generate everything in Slates and then do my final color and audio in Resolve. It actually fits into a real post workflow.”

// who built this
Meet the Founder
I'm Eric Disero. Audio engineer turned software developer, based in the Comox Valley, British Columbia, Canada.
I built Slates because I was tired of paying $99/month for AI video tools I used twice a week. I wanted one app with every latest model, where I pay only for what I generate, and actually own the software.
So I built it. Slates is bootstrapped, independently owned, and every dollar goes into making the product better.
