Ahead of launch
Video suite questions, answered
- Is the video editor really free?
- Yes. The video editing suite is completely free, with no sign-up, watermark or upload required.
- Are my videos uploaded anywhere?
- No. Like every InkyTools tool, the editor runs entirely on your device — your footage never leaves your computer. Only the chosen fonts and the one-time MP4 encoder are fetched from the web.
- What can I do with it?
- Arrange video, image, audio and text clips on a multi-track timeline; trim, split and reposition them; add transitions, colour adjustments, speed changes and animated text in hundreds of fonts; then export an MP4 or WebM.
- How long does exporting take?
- Exporting records the timeline in real time, so it takes roughly as long as the video's duration. Keep the tab in the foreground while it runs.
