What is Video Editor?
Video Editor is a browser-based, non-destructive video editing workspace. Upload one or two videos and cut them into a sequence, or compose them together into split-screen and picture-in-picture layouts — without uploading your footage to a server or account.
What can Video Editor do?
- Trim — set precise in/out points for any clip.
- Split — cut a clip in two at the playhead.
- Delete — remove an unwanted segment.
- Join — merge adjacent clips back together.
- Reorder — drag clips into a new sequence.
- Undo/redo — step backward and forward through your edit history.
- Split-screen — two videos side by side or stacked, with an adjustable divider.
- Picture-in-picture / video call — a main video with a repositionable, resizable overlay in any corner.
- Per-clip audio — keep or mute each clip's audio independently.
Non-destructive editing, explained
Every edit in Video Editor works by changing which part of your original file plays and in what order — your uploaded file itself is never modified or re-encoded until you export. That means you can trim, split, delete, and reorder freely, undo any of it, and only pay the cost of real rendering once, at export time.
Split-screen and picture-in-picture composition
Add a second video as an overlay track to unlock composition. Split screen places both videos side by side or one above the other, with a divider you can drag to adjust the balance. Picture-in-picture keeps your main video full-size and places the second video as a smaller box in whichever corner you choose — the layout used for video-call-style reaction or commentary videos. Both modes crop instead of stretching mismatched aspect ratios, so neither video is ever distorted.
Common use cases
- Trimming footage — cut a long recording down to the part you need.
- Removing mistakes — split around an unwanted section and delete it.
- Reordering clips — rearrange multiple takes into the right sequence.
- Reaction and commentary videos — picture-in-picture your face over gameplay or footage.
- Interview and comparison videos — split screen two speakers or two angles side by side.
Supported formats
MP4, WebM, MOV, and other video formats your browser can natively play and decode.
Privacy and temporary processing
Editing, preview, and export all happen locally in your browser — your video files are never uploaded anywhere. Nothing about your video is saved on Convertam's servers, because it never reaches them in the first place.
Limitations
- Two tracks: one main track plus one optional overlay track — not an open-ended multi-track timeline.
- Rendering speed: export runs in your browser, so it takes real processing time proportional to your video's length, composition, and your device's power.
- Transitions and effects: not supported in this version — cuts are hard cuts.
- Text overlays and titles: not yet available — planned for a future update.
