AI Video Editor

Free AI video editor: upload your footage, cut it, export it

A real multi-track timeline in the browser. Upload your own MP4, WebM or MOV, trim and layer it, add automatic captions and a voiceover, generate the missing shot or the soundtrack with AI, and export up to 4K. In many countries a new account gets 200 free starter credits, no card. Unused starter credits expire 24 hours after they are granted.

Timeline Editor

What you work with

Your footage

MP4, WebM and MOV up to 500 MB per file; MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG and FLAC audio up to 100 MB.

Timeline

Multi-track video, audio, text and caption lanes with cut, split, trim, ripple delete and snapping.

AI on the timeline

Generate a clip, extend a shot, make an image or a full song without leaving the project.

Export

16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5 at 1080p or 4K (3840x2160), server-rendered H.264 MP4.

Provenance

Machine-readable AI-provenance metadata and a C2PA signature on every timeline export.

How it works

From raw footage to a finished cut in three steps

The editor is the same one behind PrismPoster's Video Studio. It takes the footage you already have, not just what the AI makes.

  1. Step 1

    Upload or import

    Drag in MP4, WebM or MOV files and any audio, or pull clips, images and songs you generated earlier from your Library. Everything lands on the timeline as a clip you can move.

  2. Step 2

    Cut, layer and fill the gaps

    Trim, split and stack clips on as many lanes as you need. Add text, auto-generated captions and a microphone voiceover. Where a shot is missing, generate it in place with AI instead of leaving the project.

  3. Step 3

    Export in the shape you need

    Pick 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5 and 1080p or 4K. The export renders on our servers and comes back as an H.264 MP4 with provenance metadata, ready to post.

What you can do

A timeline editor, with AI where it actually helps

Most "AI video editors" are generators with a trim handle. This one starts from the editor and adds generation as a tool on the timeline.

Multi-track timeline

Stack video, audio and text lanes with snapping, ripple delete, lift and replace, and a source monitor for scrubbing your uploads before you cut.

Generate on the timeline

Type what the missing shot is and it renders straight into the gap. Extend a clip that ends too early. Make an image for a title card or a full song with vocals for the bed.

Automatic captions

Transcribe the audio on your timeline into styled, editable captions. Pick a preset, fix a word, and they render into the export.

Voiceover

Record narration from your microphone straight onto its own lane, in sync with the playhead.

Cut and finish

Split at the playhead, trim handles, lift or delete a range across every lane at once, and reorder clips by dragging.

Export up to 4K

Landscape, vertical, square or 4:5 at 1080p or 4K. Renders server-side so your laptop does not have to, and every file carries AI-provenance metadata.

What free means here

Editing is free. Rendering costs credits.

Uploading, cutting and previewing your project costs nothing. A finished export renders on our servers and is priced from 20 credits, so the 200 starter credits cover several exports before you need a credit pack.

In many countries a new account gets free starter credits, no card. Unused starter credits expire 24 hours after they are granted. Exports from a free account carry a small AI-generated label with the PrismPoster mark; any credit pack removes it.

  • Upload your own footage and audio and keep every project in your Library
  • Every timeline tool, including captions, voiceover and AI generation, is available on the free plan
  • Exports are priced per render, not per month, so you only pay for what you finish

FAQ

Common questions about the AI video editor

Can I upload my own video files to edit?

Yes. The editor accepts MP4, WebM and MOV video up to 500 MB per file, and MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG and FLAC audio up to 100 MB. Uploaded files sit on the timeline next to anything you generate and are cut exactly the same way.

Is the AI video editor free?

Editing is free: uploading, cutting, captioning and previewing cost nothing. A finished export is rendered on our servers and priced from 20 credits. In many countries a new account gets 200 free starter credits, no card. Unused starter credits expire 24 hours after they are granted.

What does the AI actually do in the editor?

Three things, each on the timeline: generate a new clip from a text description into a gap, extend a clip that ends too early, and create an image or a complete song with vocals for the project. It also transcribes your audio into captions. It does not edit for you automatically; you stay in control of every cut.

What export formats and sizes are supported?

H.264 MP4 in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5, at 1080p or 4K (3840x2160 for landscape). Pick the shape when you create the project and the export matches it.

Can it add captions automatically?

Yes. The editor transcribes the audio on your timeline into a caption lane, styled with a preset you choose. You can edit any word before exporting, and the captions are burned into the final file.

Is there a watermark?

Exports from a free account carry a small AI-generated label with the PrismPoster mark. Any credit pack removes it, except on real-person likeness work made with the Standard engine. On every account, generated files keep machine-readable AI-provenance metadata so platforms can identify AI content, though a platform that strips metadata can remove it.

Is my footage used to train AI models?

No. PrismPoster does not use your uploads, prompts or exports to train or improve any model, and there is no setting that enables it. The AI providers we use are bound by their terms not to train on customer content either. The full commitment is in our Data Processing Agreement.
