Public events like concerts, protests, and sports games are often captured by attendees who share videos on social media, but these clips remain scattered across platforms. This fragmentation makes it hard for viewers to get a complete, synchronized view of the event. While professional broadcasts and hashtag collections exist, there's no middle ground—no simple way to stitch together crowd-sourced footage into a seamless, multicamera experience after the event ends.

The Vision: A Crowd-Sourced Event Experience

One way to solve this would be a platform that automatically collects, synchronizes, and edits videos from social media to create immersive post-event replays. Here's how it could work:

1. Videos tagged or geolocated for an event are pulled from platforms like Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok.
2. The system aligns clips using audio waveforms (e.g., matching crowd cheers) or timestamps.
3. Edited outputs could range from a switchable multicamera view to a highlights reel, withenaAI filtering shaky or duplicate footage.
4. The finished experience lives on a central hub, embeddable for easy sharing.

For example, after a concert, you could watch the guitar solo from 10 different angles or toggle between front-row and balcony views.

Why This Fills a Gap

Existing tools have limitations:

• Hashtag feeds just list videos chronologically—no editing or syncing.
• Professional broadcasts require expensive equipment and miss crowd perspectives.
• Google Photos/Storify aggregate content but lack video synchronization features.

This idea sits in the middle: leveraging smartphones' ubiquity to create a professional-grade viewing experience without needing crews or permission.

Getting Started: From MVP to Scale

An initial version could focus on small concerts or local events with manual video collection and basic syncing (e.g., using open-source tools like FFmpeg). Early adopters might include fan communities or indie artists looking for promotional content. As the platform grows, automation could handle larger events, with monetization through sponsor integrations or premium features like downloadable replays.

The key would be proving demand first—starting small, then expanding as the tech and partnerships solidify. If successful, it could redefine how we collectively relive shared moments beyond what any single camera captures.
