About Martius · Built by XPilot
We built Martius for the people with real products to show, real customers to reach, and another version to make tomorrow.
01 · The work behind the video
A commercial film has to represent the actual product, survive review, reach the right audience, and stay useful when the business changes.
Our work on X-Pilot brought us into video production and revision workflows. These are the points of friction Martius connects in one desktop workflow.
A product demo can begin with finding a recording tool, rehearsing a workflow, recording it, trimming it and uploading it. Product photos, logos and the brief often live in separate places.
The Martius workflowBring chosen local material into the project. For supported software, the Agent performs and captures the agreed workflow, then references that capture in the film.
A compelling shot can still contain the wrong package, price, specification or software screen. A beautiful video that misrepresents the product creates more review work.
The Martius workflowGive supplied product facts and real assets a separate review path from generated atmosphere, pacing and creative direction.
A request to change a headline can ripple into the voiceover, captions and several scenes. Rebuilding the whole film can disturb the opening, music or shots already approved.
The Martius workflowShow which text, narration and scenes the request affects. Update that scope, then compare it against the creative choices the team wanted to retain.
An offer expires, a feature name changes, or a software interface is redesigned. The existing MP4 carries yesterday’s information, while its original sources may be hard to trace.
The Martius workflowKeep the editable project and its source relationships useful after the first export, so the next business update can start from the approved work.
Comments in chat, screenshots and “final_v3” files make it difficult to tell which instruction belongs to which scene, or whether an exported version contains every approved change.
The Martius workflowKeep feedback attached to a scene and a version. Make review and handoff visible parts of the same project.
The MP4 is only one part of delivery. Captions, covers, placement versions, destination settings and a course runtime can create another handoff after the creative has been approved.
The Martius workflowConnect each approved project version to its delivery requirements and publication record. Distinguish sending an ad asset from activating a campaign, and a lesson video from an LMS course or learning record.
An unreleased product, customer footage or a private software interface can be useful source material without being ready to leave the team’s device. Uploading entire folders and videos adds both transfer time and a decision about who can hold them.
The Martius workflowKeep original documents, source footage, editable projects and finished videos on the device, without uploading the original files to the cloud.
02 · Why desktop
Your originals and working project stay on your device. You decide when a finished output is ready to leave.
A launch video may start with an unreleased product, customer footage or an internal software screen. Martius works with that material locally, without uploading the original files to the cloud.
The product may be running in another application; its footage and brand material may be in local folders; next week’s campaign may begin with an existing project. Desktop connects that working context: selected sources, supported software capture, editable scenes, approved publishing and the next revision.
Martius keeps original documents, source footage, editable projects and finished videos on your device by default. Original materials and projects remain local; only selected delivery copies and required metadata leave after your explicit publishing approval.
For software, the Agent operates an agreed, supported workflow and captures the actual result. A real application screen then becomes source material for the video.
The original source, the scene it appears in and the approved project need to stay connected. The desktop workflow makes returning to that work practical when the business changes.
For a software launch
A supported workflow shows how the new feature works in the actual application, capture that interaction, and use the clip in a launch video. If the interface changes later, the next revision identifies where that screen was used.
Explore desktop product captureFor a product campaign
Bring the pack shots, product footage, brand kit and confirmed offer into a project. Explore the atmosphere and storytelling around that material. When the offer changes, review the affected words, narration and scenes alongside the work already approved.
Explore connected video updates03 · What stays in your hands
Your source material, product facts and approved work should stay under your team’s control. These principles connect the desktop workflow from the first brief to the next published version.
Original documents, source footage and editable projects belong on your device. Finished outputs remain local by default; only selected delivery copies and required metadata leave after an explicit publishing approval.
Local desktop projectsPrices, names, specifications and actual product screens need their own place to be confirmed and edited. Creative choices can change the feeling of the film while those details remain available for review.
Product details and creative directionThe next campaign starts with the existing project. A request such as “change the price and the second benefit” reveals its scope and makes the retained creative work easy to compare.
Affected content and the next versionSoftware can be represented by actual captures from supported workflows. Physical products use real footage, photos and supplied brand assets. The original material should remain identifiable inside the creative process.

Martius is built by the team behind X-Pilot. XPilot Inc. is the company’s global legal entity, incorporated in the United States in 2025. Its research and development headquarters is Optimus Prime (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd., established in 2018. The founder and CEO of XPilot is Heshan Bian.
X-Pilot continues to focus on education and skills training. Martius is a separate commercial video platform for merchants, brands, and marketing, sales and product teams. Martius includes educational and training video examples, but product advertising, launches and commercial explanations lead its positioning. X-Pilot’s customers and past results belong to X-Pilot.
Real business material often lives in local files and working software. Martius keeps original documents, source footage, editable projects and finished videos on the device by default. Original files and projects remain local; selected delivery copies are sent only after an explicit publishing approval. The desktop workflow also connects selected material, supported software capture and later revisions, so the next version can start from the approved project.
For supported software, the Agent performs an agreed workflow, captures the actual product screen and brings the recording into a video project. For physical products, the workflow uses your existing real photos, footage and brand material. The desktop Agent does not replace on-location product filming.
Martius works from local business material and three connected creative jobs: review product facts separately from creative decisions; update affected content while retaining approved work; and bring actual product material into the project through selected assets or supported desktop capture. Originals and editable projects stay on your device. Finished videos remain local by default; a selected delivery copy leaves only after your publishing approval.
The desktop workflow keeps original documents, source footage, editable projects and finished videos on your device by default. Publishing sends only the approved delivery copies and required metadata to the destination you choose.
Martius is a desktop AI Video Agent with local source files and editable projects. Keeping files local is separate from running every model offline. Model requests, service metadata and approved publishing transfers have their own data boundaries; the privacy and workflow documentation explain those distinctions.
