Culls and edits a wedding shoot overnight
Aftershoot learns from edits a photographer has already made and then applies that style to a whole shoot, after throwing out the blinks, the blurs and the duplicates. For anyone delivering thousands of frames a wedding, culling is the job it saves most of. Plans are sold by how many images a year you put through it, and everything exports back into Lightroom or Capture One rather than replacing them.
Our note
The thirty days matter more here than on most trials, because the tool has to learn your style before the output is worth judging. Feed it a whole delivered wedding early rather than a handful of frames, or the trial will tell you nothing.

Voice generation and dubbing you can publish
ElevenLabs clones a voice from a short sample and dubs video into other languages while keeping the delivery. Creators use it for narration, corrections and reaching audiences in other languages. Disclose it, and get permission before cloning anyone else.
Our note
The commercial licence sitting on the paid tier rather than the free one is the thing people miss. If a generated voice is going anywhere public, be on Starter at least, and disclose it.
