A quick look at ClipCookie. Each feature below has its own video.
ClipCookie is a free video editor with no account needed to edit and no limit on projects or exports.
ClipCookie turns what you say into text. Delete a word or sentence, and that part of the video is cut too. Drag lines around to reorder what you said, search for any phrase, or hover a cut word to bring it back in one click.
Record your screen, webcam and microphone together, or record a voiceover while your timeline plays. Draw on your screen as you record to point things out, and save your camera as its own file so you can resize or move the webcam overlay later.
ClipCookie writes down everything you say in 25 languages (English and 24 European languages), with a time for every word. It runs offline on your computer, so it’s free and your audio stays private. Click any word to jump straight to that moment.
Split, trim and layer video, audio and images on multiple tracks. The magnetic timeline closes gaps automatically as you cut, and videos with more than one audio track—like game sound and your mic—land on separate tracks, already lined up.
Drag a clip to a new spot on the timeline to reorder your scenes, group clips together to move or style them as one, or cut and paste clips from one project into another. Close any leftover gaps with one click.
Turn on auto captions and automatic subtitles appear from your transcript, timed to every word. Style them with a background box, outline, shadow, and a highlight on the word being spoken. Burn them into your video, include them as a subtitle track viewers can toggle on or off, or save SRT and VTT files.
Type right on the video, animate text in and out with fade, slide, pop or typewriter, and make key words bigger or a different color. Drop in ready-made hands, arrows, callouts and stickers, or build scenes over solid colors and gradients.
Drag Fade, Cross dissolve, Push, Wipe or Zoom onto the start or end of a clip, or between two clips without shifting your timing. Drag its edge to make it longer or shorter, or press Delete to remove it.
Zoom into the exact part of the screen you want to show, or darken everything else with Spotlight. Key out green or blue screens (chroma key) by drawing over the background, blur out faces and passwords, adjust colors across your whole video, and animate almost anything with keyframes.
Set any clip from 25% to 400% speed while keeping voices at their natural pitch. Need more time on a moment? Freeze a frame at the playhead and drag its edges to hold it as long as you like.
ClipCookie finds every awkward pause—from your transcript or straight from the sound wave, even without transcribing—so you can preview and cut them all at once. You can also fix spelling and strip out filler words, false starts and retakes.
Lower background music when you speak (audio ducking), fade tracks in and out, and shape your sound with EQ, compression and quiet-noise reduction. Recorded your camera and mic separately? Sync them in one click, then level your volume for YouTube or podcasts.
Included in the free version, with no add-ons to buy.
Switch between 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 1:1 or any custom size. Fill empty sidebars with a soft blurred background in one click.
Drop Color Grading onto a track to adjust light, color and vignette across your whole video at once, and keyframe position, scale, crop, color and audio over time.
Edit audio-only projects and podcasts with a dedicated player, waveform sync and loudness matching, then export in MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A or Opus.
Edit offline with no account or sign-up required. Pack any project and all its media into a single .clipcookie file to back it up or move it to another PC.
Press F1 to search and change any shortcut to match what you’re used to. Organize projects into folders, group clips together, and switch between Dark and Light mode.
Uses your graphics card to export video up to 60 fps fast, and plays HDR videos from your phone in seconds with natural colors.
Connect Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode or Claude Desktop, give it a folder of clips, and tell it what video you want. It looks through your footage, fixes sideways phone clips, picks the best parts and builds the edit.
It works on talking videos and footage without speech—like travel clips, product shots and gameplay. Ask for changes in plain English, or take over in the editor at any time with full undo.
“Make a 30-second travel Reel from these clips. Open with the best view and let the visuals tell the story.”
Shape the length, pacing and framing for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts. You use your own AI assistant account; provider charges may apply.
Everything above stays free. Pro adds these tools on top.

Compare Free & ProYes. Layer video, audio, titles and graphics on the timeline, or ask a connected AI assistant to analyze your clips and assemble a video. Transcript editing is another way to work when your footage includes speech.
Use Connect AI in ClipCookie to connect Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode or Claude Desktop. Give it your footage and a brief: what you want to make, who it is for and where you will publish. It can analyze the clips, build an edit from scratch or tidy up an open project, and every step can be undone. You use your own assistant account; its service charges may apply.
