Cloud queue for video edits and uploads that survives SA power cuts.
South African content creators suffer frequent Eskom load shedding power outages that interrupt live streams, video editing, and uploads, causing lost revenue and audience engagement.
EditVaultSA lets creators upload raw footage to a smart cloud queue that processes edits and uploads only during power-stable windows. It auto-detects outages via Eskom feeds and resumes where it left off, with progress syncing across devices. Perfect for uninterrupted workflows and timely YouTube monetization.
