Browser-Based Video Editing: Cut, Trim & Export Without Software
Why Edit Video in the Browser?
Traditional video editors like Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve require large downloads, powerful hardware, and steep learning curves. Our browser-based video editor runs entirely on your machine using the Canvas API and Web APIs — no downloads, no uploads, no subscriptions.
Key Features
- Multi-track timeline — Multiple video, audio, and text tracks with drag-and-drop arrangement
- Cut, trim & split — Drag clip edges to trim or press S to split at the playhead
- Text overlays — Customizable fonts, sizes, colors, and positioning
- Filters — Brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, blur, grayscale, sepia, and invert
- Speed control — Slow-motion (0.25×) to fast-forward (4×) per clip
- Chroma key — Basic green screen removal with adjustable tolerance
- Fade transitions — Smooth fade-in and fade-out on any clip
- WebM export — High-quality export using MediaRecorder API
How It Works Under the Hood
The editor renders each frame on an HTML5 Canvas by compositing all visible clips at the current timeline position. Video frames are drawn from hidden <video> elements, images are drawn directly, and text is rendered with the Canvas text API. Filters are applied via CSS filter strings on the canvas context.
