Online video and audio editing without the upload

Video and audio editing without a render farm

Video is the category where “online editing” hurts the most: uploads measured in gigabytes, progress bars, previews stamped with someone else’s mark, and a queue behind a shared render farm. None of that applies to the tools on this page. The codecs, the timeline and the preview all run in your browser as WebAssembly; the footage is read from your disk and stays there.

FilmCraft is the editor: a multitrack timeline that reads MP4, WebM, MOV, WAV and MP3, and exports MP4 (H.264/AAC) or WebM (VP9) using its own in-browser codecs — no server renders your file. EffectCraft is the compositor: build compositions, keyframes and 3D camera moves, then export MP4, WebM, a PNG sequence or Lottie JSON for web animation. SoundCraft completes the chain: record and mix multitrack audio and MIDI with per-track inserts and sends, then export 32-bit float WAV, MP3 or OGG.

The format table below is generated from the same record the app pages print, so what these tools open and save cannot drift from what the hosted builds actually do.

What local-first means for footage

A video project accumulates the material nobody else should see: unreleased footage, client cuts, an embarrassing first draft. When the editor is local, opening a file is not a decision you have to think about. There is no upload stage to sit through, no processing quota, and no lock-in — projects export to standard containers on your own disk, ready for the next tool. Once cached, these apps keep working offline, which is also what makes them usable on a laptop at a shoot.
