Public company, workplace, funding, and market signals
Updated Jul 30, 2026
Codec.io appears to be a very small San Francisco-based AI video startup publicly associated with the video-editing product once called Dumme: it says it turns everyday videos into movies, and public writeups describe it as repurposing long-form video into short-form clips. The public record is inconsistent on funding and employee count, so I used the most direct sources available and left unsupported fields null.

Business model
Investors
Public-facing messaging is highly creative and product-driven, emphasizing filmmaking, pockets, and turning everyday videos into movies. I found no detailed public benefits or culture page for codec.io itself.
Pricing
No public current pricing page found; 2023 reporting said the team was considering $0.40 per processed minute or a monthly subscription.
