+                  Video editing software has become increasingly complex, expensive, and invasive.
+                  Cloud-based editors upload your personal videos to remote servers.
+                  Professional tools cost hundreds of dollars per year.
+                </p>
+                <p className="text-lg text-muted-foreground leading-relaxed">
+                  OpenCut exists to provide a <strong className="text-foreground">free, private, and simple</strong> alternative.
+                  We believe everyone should have access to quality video editing tools
+                  without sacrificing their privacy or their wallet.
