Everything you need to start editing, in one page.

Getting started

  1. Open the editor. You can load the demo project to look around, or start with your own files.
  2. Import video, audio or images from your computer and drag them onto a track of the timeline.
  3. Move the playhead, press Space to play, and cut or trim clips until it looks right.
  4. Open the export dialog, choose a format and save the file.

Editing basics

  • Split a clip at the playhead with S, and remove selected clips with Delete or Backspace.
  • Drag the edge of a clip to trim it. Drag over empty space on the timeline to select several clips at once.
  • Undo with Ctrl+Z and redo with Ctrl+Y.
  • Press K to save a keyframe for position, zoom and sound at the playhead, and use [ and ] to jump between keyframes.

Exporting

  • Video export plays the timeline in real time, so it takes about as long as your video. Keep the tab open until it finishes.
  • The video formats on offer depend on your browser. If one fails, try WebM in a recent desktop Chrome or Edge.
  • WAV exports the audio only, and PNG saves the current frame.

Your files

Signed out, Replay Editor keeps no copy of your files: editing and exporting happen in your browser. Export a copy of anything you want to keep.

When you save a project while signed in, it is stored on our servers (Cloudflare R2) with the media files in it: the free plan allows 1 project of up to 1 GB and a subscription allows 5 projects of up to 10 GB each. Deleting your account deletes your projects. If a subscription ends, you have 30 days to open, export or delete the projects over the free limit before they are deleted.
