Review

You already know video works.
Making it is the hard part.

Recording is the easy part. It's everything after that piles up — until your channel goes quiet. Backstage handles all of it, so you keep posting.

— The production line

One app. Every role, from research to upload.

Researcher

Finds the topics your audience is already searching for, so you make videos people actually want — not guesses.

Scriptwriter

Writes a script you can read straight off a teleprompter, in your voice. Want a part changed? Just ask.

Video editor

Cuts the retakes, silences, and filler from your recording, then adds zoom-ins and color. Hours of editing, done for you.

Shorts producer

Turns one long video into as many as 25 short, captioned clips — cropped for phones, with the best moments picked for you.

Designer

Makes your thumbnails, channel art, and cover frames — and keeps tweaking them until you're happy.

Community manager

Writes your titles, descriptions, and comment replies in your voice. Nothing goes live without your approval.

— A week with it

The channel that was supposed to take off.

Monday, your team records — one sitting, the footage you already planned to shoot. That used to be the easy part.

Then it stalls. The edit waits on the one person who can do it. The shorts slip another week, then another. The title gets typed at 5pm Friday. "We should post more" turns into something everyone says and no one has time for.

With Backstage, that same recording keeps moving. You drop in the footage and it comes back done: the full video cut and polished, a stack of shorts captioned and cropped, and the titles, descriptions, and thumbnails written — all waiting for one person to say yes.

Your team spends its time on what only it can do — the ideas, the approvals, and the customers your videos bring in.

— Who's behind it

Built by someone who's actually done it.

Backstage comes from Selman — he built and sold a software startup, spent years building software at Kajabi, and grew his own YouTube channel to 255k subscribers and 12M+ views.

He watched team after team hit the same wall: everyone agrees video matters, but making it eats all their time. So he built the tool they kept wishing they had.

Every feature runs on a real, active channel before it reaches you — tested with real viewers on a real posting schedule, not in a demo. And when you start, Selman sets you up himself.

— Pricing

Cheaper than the hire.
Faster than the agency.

The usual way

Staffing it yourself

Researcher / scriptwriter~$4,000 / mo

Designer & shorts editor~$4,500 / mo

Tools & freelancers~$1,000 / mo

Total$16,000+ / mo

US salaries with benefits, 2026 (Robert Half, Glassdoor). Even fully staffed, that team can make maybe 6–10 videos a month. An agency runs $2,000–$5,000/mo — and you start over every time you stop paying.
