Sequoia Bets on 'Video Version of Cursor': Preview Raises $12 Million

According to monitoring by Beating, AI video production platform Preview has raised a total of $12 million. The General Partnership previously led a $2 million pre-seed round, and six months later, Sequoia led a $10 million seed round. The core problem Preview aims to solve is integrating AI generation seamlessly into professional film production workflows. It functions more like an AI video production control hub, combining scripts, storyboards, shot lists, AI generation, review, and feedback into a single workspace. Teams can simultaneously utilize different models and centrally manage characters, scenes, and props. Each frame also records who generated it, along with the model and parameters used. Sequoia believes what AI video currently lacks is a 'video version of Cursor.' Over 100 studios are already using Preview, including agencies producing ads for Fortune 500 companies and Hollywood film production teams. Additionally, 3,000 more studios are on the waiting list to use the platform. [Original Link]
