Descriptiontext

DeepMake is an early-stage AI software company, founded in 2023 and operating as Arkavian Inc DBA DeepMake, that builds open-source generative AI tools packaged as an Adobe After Effects plugin. Its product runs open-source models locally on the user's computer, delivering text-to-image generation, image-to-image transformation, AI-driven face and object masking, and image/video upscaling without cloud dependencies or usage fees. The technical stack assembles third-party open-source models (Stable Diffusion, Meta's Segment Anything, GroundingDINO, and Bisenet) behind a unified plugin surface, with AI rotoscoping positioned as a near-term flagship capability.

The company targets visual creators, VFX professionals, Adobe After Effects users, and AI hobbyists via a horizontal, product-led go-to-market motion. It operates an open-core business model with a free Community tier, an unpriced Creator subscription, and a custom Studio enterprise tier sold through direct sales. Distribution combines direct website downloads, the After Effects plugin ecosystem, and community-led engagement through Discord, GitHub, YouTube tutorials, blog content, and a monthly email newsletter. The company is privately held with no disclosed venture funding, 1-10 employees, and no named enterprise customer logos as of the source data.

1Gling
TypeEmerging player
Description

AI video editing tool that automatically removes silences and bad takes for YouTubers. Competes for AI-native video editing mindshare among creators, addressing a narrower workflow (rough-cut automation) than DeepMake but targeting a similar prosumer user.

2Runway
TypeDirect peer
Description

AI-native video generation and editing platform offering text-to-video, rotoscoping, and VFX-style effects. Closely comparable as a direct competitor targeting creators and VFX professionals with AI-powered post-production tooling, though cloud-rendered rather than local.

3Adobe
TypeBroad incumbent
Description

Owner of After Effects (DeepMake's host platform) and developer of Firefly, Adobe's generative AI suite being embedded across Creative Cloud. Competes broadly via integrated AI features, distribution control, and suite pricing — DeepMake's plugin must coexist with Adobe's own first-party AI.

4Wonder Dynamics
TypeEmerging player
Description

AI VFX tool (now part of Autodesk) that automates CG character integration and compositing for filmmakers. Comparable in applying AI to traditionally manual VFX tasks; overlaps with DeepMake's rotoscoping and compositing-adjacent features.

5Pika Labs
TypeEmerging player
Description

AI video generation and editing startup offering text-to-video and creative editing features. Competes for the same creator audience seeking AI-augmented visual content production, though focused on generation rather than After Effects-based post-production.

6Luma AI
TypeEmerging player
Description

AI company building generative video and 3D capture models (Dream Machine). Targets the same AI-for-visual-creators market with emphasis on photorealistic video generation, partially overlapping with DeepMake's text-to-image and enhancement tools.

7Descript
TypeEmerging player
Description

AI-driven video and podcast editing platform with transcription-based editing, filler-word removal, and AI effects. Competes for the video creator/prosumer segment with an AI-native editing workflow, though oriented toward spoken-word content rather than VFX.

8Topaz Labs
TypeEmerging player
Description

AI image and video enhancement software (upscaling, denoising, sharpening) widely used by video professionals. Directly comparable to DeepMake's BasicSR/Upscaler plugin offering for AI super-resolution in post-production workflows.

9Blackmagic Design (DaVinci Resolve)
TypeBroad incumbent
Description

Developer of DaVinci Resolve, a leading professional editing, color, and VFX suite that has been adding AI features (Magic Mask, voice isolation, Speed Editor). Comparable as a broad incumbent in professional video post-production that DeepMake could expand into as an alternative host to After Effects.

10Captions
TypeEmerging player
Description

AI-powered video editing app for short-form social content with auto-captioning, eye contact correction, and AI effects. Targets the same creator/prosumer audience as DeepMake but with a mobile-first, social-video workflow rather than professional VFX.
