SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Katalist, an AI platform for professional video production, announces new funding from South Central Ventures. Using machine learning, the company is pioneering end-to-end production automation for complex high-end video across film, marketing, and more.

As video consumption scales exponentially, video production teams face increasing pressure to execute faster while maintaining a high degree of quality that audiences expect. Katalist meets their need for a unified AI video production workflow that enables them to turn their scripts into shotlists, storyboards, and videos—scaling production while maintaining a high degree of control.

Co-founders Andraz Zvonar and Blaz Blokar first met nearly five years ago while working together on creative automation products. They’ve seen firsthand how difficult video production can be, even with big budgets and top talent. “We helped the world’s top brands create higher-quality video and reach more than 1 billion people while spending less. Now our mission is to empower storytellers everywhere to do their best work without budget or time constraints,” said Katalist co-founder and CEO Andraz Zvonar.

Today, over 250,000 professionals use Katalist to automate their video production process with AI. Since its launch, users have created millions of projects and generated tens of millions of images and videos. Millions of people have seen Katalist-produced videos on TV, social media, and streaming platforms.

With this new funding, Katalist aims to become a foundational tool in modern video production, enabling creatives to make videos in a way that outperforms traditional production techniques in terms of quality, speed, and cost.
