This is the full editor — free, no account needed. Editing and exporting run entirely in your browser.
Worth knowing: on this page VideoCraft is squeezed into a slot on a website. A free account opens it as the real full-screen app — every panel, preview and toolbar at its proper size, which is a far nicer way to actually work — and that’s where your projects save to My Projects (100 MB of storage, free forever), the royalty-free B-roll library opens up, and AI captions start working.

Select a clip on the timeline to edit its settings.
Drag an effect onto a video clip in the timeline (or select one first).
Drag onto a CUT between two clips (or a clip's first/last edge) — or double-click to add to the start of the selected clip.
Everything VideoCraft can do
A serious editor that happens to run in a browser tab.
AI Edit — Beat Cut
Pick your clips and a song: Beat Cut finds the beat and lays a cut-to-the-music edit on the timeline — real, editable clips with transitions and overlays, free, right in this page's demo. One undo removes the whole thing; in the app, the AI Director mode watches your footage and directs the edit itself.
Multi-track timeline
Up to 16 video and 16 audio tracks with move, trim, split, razor, ripple-close, snapping and a frame-accurate ruler down to individual frames.
Keyframe animation
Animate Motion, opacity and every effect parameter with a real keyframe editor, bezier curves, a graph editor and per-keyframe interpolation.
Green-screen & keying
Ultra Key, Color Key and Luma Key with a GPU pipeline. Key out a background and the track below shows through.
Effects & 16 transitions
A searchable effects library (blur, color, stylize, keying) plus cross dissolve, dips, wipes, pushes, iris, shake and zoom-punch. Drag one onto a cut with a live magnet preview.
Multi-layer compositing
Every video track composites at once with blend modes, opacity and per-clip Motion: stack overlays, PiP and manual cross-dissolves.
Free B-roll library
A built-in library of royalty-free 1080p stock clips. Drop one straight onto the timeline, free for everyone.
Export to MP4
Render the finished timeline to MP4 (H.264 or HEVC), WebM VP9 or GIF, with an in/out range and no watermark. Encoded on your own machine, so there's no upload and no render queue.
Pro workspace
Dockable, tear-off panels you can pop into their own window, a program monitor with picture-in-picture, and editor-wide undo.
How it works
Import your clips
Drag video, audio and images in, or drop a clip straight from the free B-roll library onto the timeline.
Cut, layer & animate
Arrange clips across tracks, add effects and transitions, key out green screens, and keyframe motion and opacity.
Export your video
Render the timeline to MP4, WebM or GIF right on your own machine, grab a still frame at full resolution, or hand the audio off to SoundCraft.

Is VideoCraft free?
Yes, the editor is free for everyone with no watermark and no card required. Paid plans add storage and tokens for AI jobs; editing is free.
Does it add a watermark?
No. VideoCraft never stamps a watermark on your video.
Do I need to install anything?
No, it runs entirely in your browser. There's nothing to download and your footage stays on your device.
Is it made for AI-generated video?
Yes. VideoCraft is built specifically for creators editing AI video from tools like Runway, Sora, Kling and Pika: compositing, keying and cleaning up clips.
Can it edit a video for me automatically?
Yes — ✨ AI Edit. The free Beat Cut mode listens to your song's beat and energy and assembles your clips into a beat-synced edit with transitions and overlays, laid down as normal editable clips (a single undo removes it). In the app, the AI Director mode goes further: it looks at your actual footage and directs the shot order, pacing, text and effects.
Can I animate with keyframes?
Yes, Motion, opacity and every effect parameter are keyframable, with a full keyframe and graph editor and bezier interpolation.
Can I export my finished video?
Yes. Export the whole timeline, or just an in/out range, to MP4 (H.264 or HEVC), WebM VP9 or GIF, with no watermark. The render happens on your own machine rather than on a server, so there's no upload, no queue and no export limit.
Can I export video with a transparent background?
Yes. Key out a green screen and export a WebM with a real alpha channel, ready to drop straight onto another timeline as an overlay.
