A timeline video editor that runs in your browser — meet Nova Clips

nova-clipsintroduction

Nova Clips is a video editor that runs in your browser. It uses the multi-track timeline layout familiar from desktop editors, with nothing to install.

What it does

  • Timeline editing: arrange video, audio, and images on tracks, then trim, split, and move clips to build your cut
  • Clip adjustments: position and size transforms, effects, fade in/out, and speed changes
  • Text: place captions and style them — drop the text in, then fine-tune it in the inspector on the right
  • Inspector: adjust the selected clip precisely with sliders and numeric inputs
  • Export: render the finished video as WebM

How to use it

  1. Import your media (video, audio, images) by drag and drop
  2. Arrange it on the timeline and shape it with trims and effects
  3. Export as WebM from the menu

No sign-up, no installation.

How your data is handled

Editing and export both happen in your browser — your footage is never uploaded to a server. It's free.

When it comes in handy

  • Cutting the dead air out of a screen recording and adding captions
  • Assembling a quick video on a machine where you can't install an editor
  • Trying out video editing for free before committing to anything
