Raylight launches free Pro tier for startups
Raylight has launched a startup program offering early-stage teams from pre-seed through Series A a free year of its Pro plan, providing 4K exports and monthly credits to create launch videos, product demos, and feature announcements without motion design experience. The platform features an MCP server integration that lets teams hook Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor directly into video timelines for AI-automated camera choreography and storyboard generation.
Offering free pro tooling to early-stage founders is brilliant distribution that turns customer launch videos into viral billboards for Raylight. Connecting Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT via an MCP server bridges the gap between shipping code and generating promotional video assets, eliminating the need for expensive motion design agencies or complex tools like After Effects during high-velocity launch cycles. Requiring startups to share at least one created video establishes an organic viral growth loop across social media while positioning Raylight against browser-based motion design alternatives like Jitter and Canva by focusing specifically on developer-led launch workflows.
