How to Use WebEdit Pro

1

Open a video

Drop a video on the editor or choose one. It opens in this browser in a moment, with its sound shown under the picture and small pictures along the timeline.

2

Cut what you do not need

Split at the playhead, select a part and delete it, or drag the ends of a clip to trim it. Turn or flip the picture and pick a shape such as 9:16 for phones.

3

Fix the colour

Change brightness, contrast and saturation, try the eight looks, or grade warmth, tint, shadows and highlights. The Color Harmonizer can match your video to another one.

4

Add text and subtitles

Put a title or caption on the video and drag it into place, and add subtitles from the playhead. Save the subtitles as an SRT file too if a video site asks for one.

5

Add music and effects

Import music, set the volumes, fade the sound in and out, add fades and transitions, change the speed, or lay another video over yours with green screen.

6

Save the video

Choose the size and MP4 or WebM and press Save video. It records the edited video as it plays, so keep the tab open until it is done.

Why Use WebEdit Pro?

🎬 A whole editor on one page

Cutting, colour, text, subtitles, music, transitions, layers and saving are all in one place, with undo for every step, so a short video can be finished without installing anything.

πŸ‘€ The preview is the saved video

The preview is drawn the same way as the saved video, frame by frame: the cuts, turns, shapes, colours, texts, layers, fades and transitions you see are the ones you get.

🎚️ Sound mixed in

The video's own sound and up to five music or voice files play together, each with its own volume, and the whole mix can fade in and out. What you hear is what is recorded.

πŸ“± A shape for every screen

Turn a wide video into an upright 9:16 one for phones, a square for posts or a 21:9 cinema strip, and save it at 720p, 1080p, 4K or its own size.

πŸ’‘ Your edit is kept

The cuts, colours and texts stay in this browser, so you can close the page and carry on later with the same video, or save the edit as a small project file.

πŸ”’ Nothing uploaded

There is no account and no upload. Your video is played, edited and recorded by this browser on this device, so even long or private videos stay with you.

Video Editing Explained

⏺️ How saving works

The browser plays your edited video from start to end and records the frames and the sound as they are drawn, then gives you the file. That is why saving takes about as long as the video, and why the tab must stay open and in front while it records.

🎞️ Clips, joins and transitions

A clip is a part of your video that you keep. Where one clip ends and the next one begins there is a join; without a transition the picture changes at once, while a fade, dissolve, wipe or slide makes the change softer.

πŸ“ Shape and size

A shape such as 16:9 or 9:16 is the ratio of width to height. The size is counted on the shorter side: a 1080p widescreen video is 1920 x 1080 pixels and a 1080p upright one is 1080 x 1920. Larger sizes look sharper and make larger files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is WebEdit Pro free, and is my video uploaded?

It is free, with no registration. Like every page on ZeroDataUpload, it is supported by advertising. The videos, pictures and sound files you open are played and edited in this browser and are never sent to a server. Your edit (the cuts, colours, texts and so on, not the video itself) is kept in this browser, so it comes back when you open the same video again; New project removes it.

How long does saving a video take, and why?

Saving plays your edited video from start to end and records the preview as it plays, so it takes about as long as the saved video: a 5-minute video takes about 5 minutes. The Save window shows the length before you start and the time left while it records. Keep the tab open and in front: a hidden tab pauses the recording until you come back.

Will I get an MP4 or a WebM file?

You choose MP4 or WebM. MP4 is made where your browser can record it, which recent Chrome, Edge and Safari can; where it cannot, the file is saved as WebM and the Save window says so before you start. The file name always ends in the format the file really has.

How do I cut out a part of my video?

Move the playhead to where the part begins and press Start selection (or I), play or move to where it ends and press End selection (or Shift+E), then press Delete selection. You can also press Split (or S) at both ends, click the clip between them on the timeline and press Delete. The saved video jumps over removed parts, and Undo brings them back.

How do I add music to a video?

Open the Sound group, press Import sound and pick a music or voice file. It plays from the start of the saved video at its own speed, with its own volume and mute, beside the video's own sound, and both are recorded into the saved file. The sound fades work on the whole mix; Normalize works on the video's own sound.

How does the green screen work?

Add a video filmed in front of a green or blue background as a video layer, place and size it, then in Green screen pick the background colour and press Turn green screen on. That colour becomes see-through, so your main video shows behind the person or object. Similarity sets how close a colour must be to disappear and Smoothness softens the edge.

How is WebEdit Pro different from the site's other video tools?

GIF Forge turns a part of a video, a screen recording or pictures into a short GIF or clip. The media converter changes a file from one format to another. WebEdit Pro is a video editor: you cut and arrange the parts you keep, change the colour, add text, subtitles, music, fades, transitions and video layers, and save the result as a new video.

Save your edited video

Saving plays your edited video from start to end and records the preview as it plays, so it takes about as long as the video itself: a 5-minute video takes about 5 minutes. Keep this tab open and in front until it finishes; a hidden tab pauses the recording.

Color Harmonizer

Give several clips the same brightness, contrast and colour: each is measured, then moved towards the average of all of them. Download each clip, or merge them into one video. Both record the clips as they play, so they take as long as the clips.

    How WebEdit Pro works

    Everything happens in this browser on this device: the videos, pictures and sound files you open are not uploaded. Open a video and edit it with the groups beside the preview. Every change can be undone with Ctrl+Z (the last 49 steps). Your edit (not the video itself) is kept in this browser, so it comes back when you open the same video again, until you press New project.

    The timeline

    The timeline shows the whole video. The green boxes are the clips you keep; the parts between them are left out of the saved video. Click the ruler above the clips or the Sound row to move the playhead (with Snap on it catches a whole second, a clip edge or a marker close to the pointer), drag across it to scrub, and zoom in for detail. Click a clip to choose it (the playhead stays where it is), drag its ends to trim it, drag its middle to slide it, and press Delete to remove it.

    Cut and trim

    Split (S) cuts the clip under the playhead in two. With the Cut tool, a click on the picture splits at the playhead and a click on a clip splits where you click. With the Trim tool, drag the start and end of the edited video. A selection runs from Start selection (I) to End selection (Shift+E); trim to it, or delete it. Turn and flip change the picture and the saved video.

    Look and colour

    Brightness, contrast and saturation change the whole video; the looks add a style on top; Shape keeps the middle of the picture in another shape, such as 9:16 for phones. Colour grading changes warmth, tint, shadows, midtones and highlights. The Color Harmonizer gives several clips the same colour, matches your video to a reference, applies automatic fixes and keeps colour profiles.

    Text, subtitles and markers

    Texts stay on the whole video; drag them on the picture. A subtitle is shown from the playhead for the seconds you choose, at the bottom of the picture, in the saved video too, and Save subtitles writes an SRT file for players and video sites, with the times of the saved video (after your cuts, at your speed). Markers are notes on the timeline that you can jump between.

    Fades, transitions and speed

    Fades bring the saved video in from black and out to black. A transition plays as a clip begins: fade through black, dissolve, wipe or slide from the last picture of the clip before it. Speed plays and saves the video faster or slower; a speed ramp changes the speed smoothly from the playhead.

    Sound, layers and green screen

    Volume, mute and Normalize change the video's own sound; imported music and voice files play with it from the start of the saved video, and the sound fades work on the whole mix. A video layer is another video drawn over yours; green screen makes a chosen colour in your layers see-through. Layers and imported sound are not kept: add them again when you come back.

    Saving

    Save video plays the edited video from start to end and records the preview as it plays, so it takes about as long as the video (a 5-minute video takes about 5 minutes). Keep the tab open and in front. You get MP4 where your browser can record it, otherwise WebM; the size is the video's own, 720p, 1080p or 4K, every picture of the video is kept at the video's own rate, and the saved video can be up to 30 minutes long. A preset in the Save window shapes that one save only. Save project writes your edit to a small file you can open again later with the same video.
