What it does

Video by Zaweba is a simple, solid video editor. Bring in clips, music and pictures, lay them on a multi-track timeline, then trim, split and ripple delete. Add transitions, animated titles and a colour grade, and let the music duck under speech by itself. What you see in the preview is exactly what you export.

It also has an Episode Builder for people making series from short AI-generated clips. Paste in your script, point it at your clips folder, and it builds a shot list, matches takes to shots and assembles the episode in one click. Record the voiceover, add captions timed to the speech and export the lot, ready to upload.

Key features

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

Multi-track timeline

Trim, split, ripple delete, link and unlink, freeze frames and markers, with undo that covers every edit.

Titles and transitions

Animated titles that fade, slide, pop or type themselves out, plus dissolves, fades, wipes, slides and zooms.

Sound that sorts itself out

Music dips under dialogue automatically, with noise reduction, voice EQ and exports levelled to -14 LUFS.

Captions from speech

Captions are made on your PC from the dialogue, spelled from your script when you have one, then exported as .srt or burned in.

Fast exports

Uses your graphics card's video encoder when it has one, with a render queue that works through jobs one after another.

Autosave and recovery

Your project is saved every minute and offered back after a crash. Moved media can be relinked from a folder.

Video

From script to episode in one click

Paste in a script with numbered shots and voice lines, point the Episode Builder at your folder of clips, and it matches files to shots by name, keeps every take, and assembles the episode on the timeline. Flick between takes with the square bracket keys and star the ones you like.

  • Reads scripts as .txt, .md or .docx
  • Watches a folder and adds downloads as they finish
  • Colour match evens out drift between generations

Voiceover and captions built in

Record each voice line straight onto the timeline, take after take, or drop in recordings named by shot and line. Captions are worked out from the speech on your PC and lined up with your script, so names are always spelled as written, then styled, exported as .srt or burned into the picture.

  • Voice takes saved beside your project
  • Captions kept to two short lines
  • A series template keeps intro, outro and styles the same

Questions

Video FAQ

Do my videos get uploaded anywhere?

No. Editing, captions and exports all happen on your PC. Your original files are only ever read, never changed.

Do I need AI clips to use it?

Not at all. The Episode Builder is there if you want it, but Video is a complete everyday editor for any footage, music and pictures.

Will it run on my laptop?

Video edits from small proxy copies it makes in the background, so the preview stays smooth, and exports use your graphics card when they can.
