About this tool
This is a timeline video workspace that runs entirely in your browser; no rendering queue, no account, no upload of footage that might be personal. Add clips, trim the start and end of each, and arrange them in order; add independent audio layers under the video (music beneath a screen recording, narration over clips) or pull the audio out of a clip to use it separately.
Image and text overlays render on top of the video; a logo in the corner, a title at the start, a caption over a section. The preview plays your composition, and export renders it to a WebM video file using the browser's own media machinery; even the final render happens on your device.
How to use it
- Add one or more video clips to the timeline.
- Trim each clip's start and end, and drag clips into the order you want.
- Add audio: upload music or narration as separate layers, or use Extract audio to split a clip's sound into its own layer.
- Add image or text overlays and position them over the video.
- Preview the composition, then export; the browser renders a WebM file locally.
Tips
- Trim ruthlessly at the start: the first seconds before anything happens are the most common dead weight in casual video.
- Extract a clip's sound to replace its visuals. You can also mute the original sound and add music underneath.
- Long or high-resolution exports are limited by your device's memory and speed; browser editing shines for clips and short compositions rather than feature-length projects.
FAQs
What formats can I upload, and what does export produce?
Uploads accept MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V, and OGV, depending on your browser's codec support. Export produces WebM, the format browsers can encode natively; it plays in all modern browsers and imports into desktop editors.
Why WebM and not MP4?
Browsers can encode WebM themselves via the MediaRecorder API, which is what makes fully local export possible. MP4 encoding isn't natively available; converting the exported WebM in a desktop tool is straightforward if a destination demands MP4.
Can I combine several clips into one video?
Yes; clips play in timeline order after trimming, and export as one continuous video.
Does my footage get uploaded while editing?
No. Decoding, preview, and the final render all use your browser's media engine on your device; footage never leaves it.
Can I edit long videos?
Short-form is the sweet spot. Because everything lives in browser memory, very long or 4K footage can hit device limits; for those, desktop software is the right tool.
