| 0:00.0 | A company called Morello has just raised $41 million from Index and A16Z to solve one of |
| 0:07.7 | AI videos biggest problems, and that is not having sound effects, background, music, or |
| 0:13.3 | audio in the background of AI generated video clips. |
| 0:17.6 | Today on the podcast, we'll be diving into the state of AI video generators and what this company, |
| 0:24.7 | Morello, plans on doing with their $41 million in this seed round that they have just raised, |
| 0:30.2 | who gave it to them, what the plan is, and where the market goes in the future. |
| 0:33.3 | Before we get into all of that, if you want to try all of the AI models I talk about on the show, |
| 0:38.3 | make sure to go over to AIbox.AI. There's over 40 different AI models from OpenAI to Gemini, |
| 0:45.2 | to Claude, to GROC, to 11 labs, 40 other ones. And instead of paying subscriptions to all of |
| 0:51.4 | these different companies, you can pay $20 a month and get access to all of it |
| 0:54.5 | in one place without having to switch tabs, have multiple subscriptions. I hope this saves you a ton of time. |
| 0:59.5 | You can also compare models side by side. Go check it out at AIbox.a. All right, let's get into the show. |

| 1:10.5 | saying that Morello is, |
| 1:12.0 | you know, going to be completely struggling as a company, they do have a lot of headwind. So they have |
| 1:16.5 | just raised $41 million. This is their seat round. It was led by A16Z and index ventures. So obviously, |
| 1:23.5 | they're getting a lot of VC funding that's going into it. Earlier this year, this company was based in Berlin, but they just released SFX v1.1. So essentially, this is an |
| 1:33.6 | AI model that it watches a video you upload to it, and then it's going to add synced sound effects |
| 1:38.4 | to the model. To be honest, I think this is something that's really impressive, but the headwinds |
| 1:42.7 | will be facing are from Google and a lot of other AI labs that are already including sound effects into their videos that are being |
| 1:50.5 | generated. Now, this wasn't the case when this company first started out, but today that is the case. |
| 1:57.2 | So the new money that they've raised, they said it's going to help them to compete |
