AI Video Editor

Valmera is a free AI video editor: you upload real footage, describe the edit in plain English, and an AI agent performs the whole edit — cuts, captions, music, speed, transitions, color — then renders a full-quality MP4 from your original file. No timeline skills required, and the free plan needs no credit card.

That sentence is the entire workflow. If you can say "cut the boring parts, add captions, and make it feel cinematic", you can edit video with AI — the agent turns the request into a finished edit and shows you a preview to react to.

Edit Your First Video Free

Upload footage, type the edit, review the preview. 20 free credits daily plus a 150-credit welcome bonus — no credit card.

An Agent That Edits — Not a Toolbar of AI Buttons

Most products called an AI video editor are manual editors with AI assists bolted on: a button that removes silences, a panel that generates subtitles. Between the assists, you are still the editor — trimming, dragging, aligning, exporting. Valmera is an agentic video editor: the AI is the editor, and your job is to describe the result and judge the preview.

When you upload, Valmera analyzes the footage once — a word-accurate transcript, the audio, and what is actually on screen — with visible progress. From then on, every edit is a conversation. The agent inspects real frames before and after its changes, so requests like "blur the username in the corner" or "end on the wide shot" land where they should.

Everything runs in the browser on desktop and mobile — nothing to install (see the online video editor page). And you do not even need a video to start: images, clips, and music can become a sequential canvas project, which is how the AI slideshow maker works. You can also paste a link to bring media into your edit.

How to Edit a Video with AI

  1. 1
    Upload your video
    Sign up free (no credit card) and upload footage up to 2GB or 3 hours. Valmera analyzes it once — transcript, audio, and what is on screen — with visible progress the whole way.
  2. 2
    Type the edit you want
    Describe the result in plain English: "cut all the silences and filler words", "add karaoke captions and put chill music under my voice", "speed the middle section up to 1.5x". One request can cover many steps at once.
  3. 3
    Preview, refine, export
    Watch the preview, then refine by chatting — "looser cuts", "bigger captions", "different track". When it is right, export a full-quality MP4 rendered from your original upload.

Long uploads take a while to analyze — progress stays visible, and the one-time analysis is reused by every edit afterward.

What You Can Edit with AI

Every capability below is performed by the agent from a plain-English request — and each one is also available as a focused tool page if you came here for a single job.

Silence removal

One request — “cut the dead air” — removes every silent stretch, snapped to word boundaries so nothing sounds clipped. Restore any cut later.

Filler words & retakes

Ums, uhs, ers, and custom words like “you know” come out. Repeated takes are detected too, and the best take is kept.

Word-accurate captions

Presets from podcast to beast to karaoke, 12 bundled fonts, 9 entrance animations, per-word emphasis, and an editable transcript.

Speed control

0.25x to 4x on any range of the video. Voices keep their natural pitch, and music, captions, and effects stay in sync.

7 transition styles

Dip to black, dip to white, whip left, whip right, zoom punch, glitch, flash — one request styles every cut in the video.

On-screen text

7 designed templates — title, subtitle, lower third, callout, big number, quote, chapter — at any time, position, and color.

Music that ducks itself

24 royalty-free tracks across 8 moods, or upload your own. Music ducks smoothly under speech like a real mix engineer.

Beat-synced editing

Cuts snap to the musical beat, punch-ins land on your most emphasized words, and a sound-design pass places whooshes and impacts.

Looks & color grading

One-request looks — hype, clean, cinematic, luxury, meme — plus 6 grade presets and custom exposure-to-tint grading.

Zooms & punch-ins

Aimable zooms up to 2.5x — punch, ease, push-in, pull-out — plus automatic punch-ins where your delivery peaks.

Reframe for any platform

16:9, 9:16, 1:1, or 4:5 by crop, pad, or blurred pad — captions rescale with the frame, and nothing is ever upscaled.

Blur & censor

Blur, pixelate, or black out any region — faces, usernames, plates — and the censor follows through cuts and reframes.

Those are the highlights, not the whole list — browse all AI video editing tools for the full set. The agent can also generate media into the edit — AI images placed as full-frame stills with Ken Burns motion, described-to-order sound effects, and short generated clips — each charged by its actual cost.

Example Prompts That Actually Work

Valmera is a chat product, so the honest way to show what it does is the prompts themselves. Every one of these maps to a shipped capability:

"Cut all the silences and the ums"
"Add karaoke captions with a yellow highlight"
"Speed the screen recording up to 2x, but keep my intro at normal speed"
"Add upbeat music and keep it quiet under my voice"
"Use the whip transition at every cut"
"Punch in on the words I stress"
"Reframe this to 9:16 for Reels"
"Give the whole video the cinematic look"
"Blur the license plate at 0:42"
"Cut to the beat of the track"
"Add a lower third with my name at the start"
"Remove the repeated takes and keep the last one"

One request produces one finished result — a single edit, previewed and then exported — and follow-up messages refine the same edit instead of starting over.

The Honesty Layer: Replies You Can Trust

AI tools have a credibility problem: they confidently describe work they did not do. Valmera treats that as a system design problem. Every agent reply is verified server-side against the edits actually made — the agent cannot claim a cut, a caption, or a music change that did not happen. If a request fails or is out of scope, the reply says so.

The practical effect: you never re-watch a 40-minute video to audit the AI. And everything stays reversible in conversation — cut ranges can be restored, and the transcript is editable, so fixing a misheard word re-renders the captions from your correction.

Who It Is For

The same agent, pointed at different jobs:

YouTubers

Jump cuts, punch-ins, captions, and grades for talking-head videos.

Podcasters

Cut silences and repeated takes from long recordings, then clip highlights.

Short-form creators

9:16 reframes, karaoke captions, beat-synced cuts for TikTok and Reels.

Course creators

Clean lessons: dead air out, chapters and callouts on screen.

Social media managers

Reframe the same edit for any platform — 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5.

Agencies

Client revisions by description, with every change verified before you export.

What Valmera Does Not Do

An honest tool page should include the limits, so here they are. Valmera does not do crossfade dissolves — the 7 transition styles are punchy accents, and one global style applies at every cut. Overlays and censor regions do not motion-track a moving subject (the censor does follow through cuts and reframes). Captions burn into the video; there is no separate subtitle file. Slow motion duplicates frames rather than synthesizing new ones, so below 0.6x it visibly steps.

Each request produces one video — there is no batch ten-clips-at-once output. There are no team seats, brand kits, share links, or direct publishing: you export a file and post it where you like. Custom fonts cannot be uploaded (12 fonts are bundled). If any of those are dealbreakers, Valmera will tell you so in chat too — the honesty layer applies to the product, not just this page.

Free to Start, Priced by Work Done

The free plan gives you 20 credits every day (they reset daily) plus a one-time 150-credit welcome bonus — no credit card. Plus is $20/month for 800 credits per billing cycle and Pro is $50/month for 2,400, and subscribers keep the 20 daily credits on top. There is no flat per-edit price: each request charges credits in proportion to the AI work actually done, so simple edits cost the least.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Valmera is built exactly for this: you upload real footage and describe the edit in plain English, and an AI agent performs it — cutting silences and filler words, adding word-accurate captions, placing music that ducks under speech, changing speed, adding transitions, zooms, and color grades. A server-side honesty layer verifies every reply against the edits actually made, so the agent cannot claim a change it did not perform.
Valmera's free plan is genuinely usable: 20 credits every day (they reset daily and don't accumulate) plus a one-time 150-credit welcome bonus, with no credit card required. Free exports render at source quality from your original file, with a small Valmera mark in the corner; Plus and Pro export with no mark at all.
No. ChatGPT can suggest edits, write a script, or draft a shot list, but it cannot open your footage or render a video. Valmera gives you the same chat-driven workflow with an agent that actually performs the edit: it cuts, captions, mixes, grades, and renders a finished MP4 you download.
On Free, a small Valmera mark sits in the corner of your export; on Plus and Pro there is no watermark at all. Every export closes with a brief (~2.5-second) Valmera end card after your video.
No. If you can describe what you want — "cut the boring parts", "add captions", "make it feel cinematic" — the agent handles the technical work. There is also a visual timeline, a preview player, and an editable transcript for hands-on fixes, but none of them are required.
Uploads go up to 2GB or 3 hours per video. After upload, a one-time analysis runs with visible progress — longer videos take longer to analyze, and every edit afterward reuses that analysis. You can also paste a link to bring media into your edit, or start from images alone on a canvas project with no video at all.
There is no flat per-edit price — each request charges credits in proportion to the AI work actually done, so simple edits cost the least. Free includes 20 credits daily plus the one-time 150-credit bonus; Plus ($20/mo) includes 800 credits per billing cycle and Pro ($50/mo) includes 2,400 — and subscribers keep the 20 daily credits on top.
Yes — up to 3 hours or 2GB per upload. The one-time analysis takes a while on long videos (progress is visible the whole way), and after that every edit is conversational: remove silences and repeated takes, punch in on emphasized words, add captions and music, and export at source quality.
Yes — describe the moment you want ("clip the part where I explain pricing") or let the agent pick a strong one. You get one polished clip per request: reframed to 9:16, with karaoke captions and punch-ins if you ask. It deliberately does not dump ten auto-clips at once — each request produces one finished deliverable you actually review.
Valmera runs in the browser on desktop and mobile — there is no native app to install. Upload, chat, preview, and export all work from a phone's browser.
Yes. There is a built-in royalty-free music library — 24 CC0 tracks across 8 moods — plus 18 one-shot sound effects (whooshes, impacts, risers) the agent places on cuts and key words, and you can upload your own tracks or paste a link. Music ducks smoothly under speech, and a one-request mastering pass targets the loudness platforms expect.
It does not do crossfade dissolves (transitions are 7 hard-cut styles, one global style per video), does not motion-track overlays or blurs to a moving subject, does not accept custom font uploads (12 fonts are bundled), burns captions into the video rather than producing a subtitle file, and produces one video per request — no batch multi-clip output, share links, or direct publishing to platforms. The honesty layer means the agent says when a request is out of scope instead of faking it.
