Not amazing
When I first logged in, I got super excited as the Trending section immediately gave me tons of ideas. I didn't mind that the output wasn't very original cuz at least I had the ideas, then went on to rewrite myself or with the help of other AI.
Now, more than two months in... output is very generic ChatGPT. And while I already knew this, the Trending section is no longer even useful, cuz it's literally STAYED THE SAME since I first logged in. Literally, the exact same videos on the list, all of which I seemed to have gone through a long time ago. These seem to not update at all.
Using the key word search bar for trending vids does nothing. It'll come up with nothing, even though there could be millions of that hashtag.
Video creation is clunky when using your own videos, I've abandoned it altogether. Just stays forever in 'processing' mode after uploading it. And if you're Remixing a b-roll with voiceover, you can record yourself, but then there's no option to directly upload your b-roll video onto that audio, so you need to copy and paste your script, go to the Studio area and create it from scratch there.
Your response here does not answer to my comment, I'm not talking about the video editor/studio, I'm talking about when remixing a video.
Additionally re Trending, you can't open a video in new tab, and every time I got back to the main page, rather than going back to the previous page, it goes back to page 1 of search, and without the right filter I'd already set, so huge time wasting.
I feel like this has got lot of potential, and it has helped me create a bulk of stuff when I started with it, so I'm hoping it'll improve on these, otherwise it's good for starters but then just stops being useful.

Thanks for your feedback!
The Video Editor does allow you to bring your own B-Roll and such, by clicking "Preview Video" and then decide to edit scene-by-scene instead.
the Video Editor is explained at the bottom of this guide: https://help.genius.ai/hc/en-us/articles/32782003822611-AI-Made-for-You-Reels
It might help with some of what you said!
Regarding the Trending Section - this is something we are working on improving soon, with more frequent updates!
Regards,
Sergio
