Easy-to-use video editor with powerful creative tools
From your first cut to the final export, OpenShot makes video editing simple. Bring video, audio, and images together for films, animations, YouTube videos, tutorials, highlight reels, and more. OpenShot Video Editor is open-source, with no watermarks or subscription required.
Creative tools include:
- Timeline editing: layer video, audio, and images with drag-and-drop editing, trimming, splitting, and precise frame-by-frame control.
- Titles and transitions: customizable title templates, fades, wipes, and image overlays.
- Animation and speed: keyframes, motion, scaling, rotation, transparency, slow motion, and reverse playback.
- Effects and compositing: an extensive library of video and audio effects, green screen (chroma key), masks, and layered visuals.
- Color grading: color wheels, curves, LUTs, and video scopes.
- Audio and recording: music and dialogue mixing, volume keyframes, waveforms, audio visualizations, and microphone and webcam capture.
- AI tools and effects: local AI models for object masking, plus ComfyUI integration for generation, enhancement, and custom workflows (additional models and ComfyUI setup required).
- Formats and export: combine popular video, audio, and image formats, then export videos for online sharing or local playback.
