Free AI Video Editor
Valmera is a free AI video editor: 20 free credits every day, a one-time 150-credit welcome bonus, and no credit card required. You upload real footage, type the edit in plain English, and an AI agent performs it. No watermark is ever placed over your footage — every export ends with a brief Valmera end card after your video.
20 credits every day (reset daily, don't accumulate) + 150-credit welcome bonus (one-time). No credit card. Full editor, source-quality exports, and only a small corner mark on the free plan — a brief end card plays after your video.
How to Edit a Video Free with Valmera
- 1Create a free account and uploadSign up with email or Google — no credit card. You start with 20 daily credits plus a one-time 150-credit welcome bonus. Upload a video up to 2GB or 3 hours; the one-time analysis runs with visible progress.
- 2Type the edit you wantDescribe it in plain English: "cut the silent parts and remove every um and uh", "add karaoke captions and punch in on the emphasized words", or "put upbeat music from the library under it and duck it when I talk". One request, one polished result.
- 3Preview and refineReview the preview, then adjust with follow-ups like "captions a size bigger" or "warmer color grade". Each turn charges credits for the work actually done — simple edits cost the least.
- 4Export free at source qualityDownload the finished H.264 MP4, rendered from your original upload at source quality. Nothing is overlaid on your footage; a brief Valmera end card plays after your video.
Long uploads take a while to analyze the first time — progress stays visible — and every edit after that is a chat message.

Free means a real allowance, not a locked demo. Every day you get 20 credits — they reset daily and don't accumulate, so there's nothing to hoard or lose track of. On top of that, signing up grants a one-time 150-credit welcome bonus. No credit card is required at any point; you sign in with email or Google.
Credits charge in proportion to the AI work in each request — there is no flat per-edit price. Simple edits cost the least; a heavier request that combines a caption pass, music, and a color grade costs more. And the free plan is the full editor: the same agent, the same captions and music library, the same effects and source-quality exports as paid plans. Credits are the only meter — the details are on the credits guide.
If you outgrow it, 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 of the monthly pool.
The End Card, Explained — Our Watermark Policy
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.
The distinction matters, so here it is spelled out. On the free plan a small mark sits in the top-left corner of your downloaded export — a robot, with the words "EDITED BY VALMERA AGENT" sliding out beside it for a few seconds every so often. It is deliberately small and it never covers the middle of your frame, but it is a watermark and we are not going to call it anything else. Plus and Pro export with no mark at all, and upgrading re-renders an already-marked export clean. Previews are never marked on any plan. Separately, and on every plan, each export closes with a short Valmera end card that plays after your content finishes — that one never overlaps your footage.
We'd rather you read this here than discover it in your first export. If a page ever tells you a free editor has "no watermark, no catch", check what its exports actually look like — the table below is a start.
How Free Tiers Really Compare
Free tiers are where video editors are least upfront, so here are the published facts side by side:
| Editor | Watermark on free tier | Free export quality | Free-tier limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Valmera | Small corner mark on Free, none on Plus/Pro — brief end card after the video | Source quality (renders from your original) | 20 credits/day + one-time 150-credit bonus |
| Kapwing | Watermark on exports | 720p | 10 credits/mo · 2GB uploads · 3-day storage |
| Vizard | Watermark | 720p | 60 upload-minutes/mo · 10-min max export · 3-day storage |
| Gling | Watermark | — | 1 hour of footage/mo |
| Filmora (trial) | Watermark on trial exports | — | Free trial only — desktop app |
| Clipchamp | None — genuinely watermark-free | 1080p cap | Fully manual timeline, utility AI only |
Two honest notes. Clipchamp's free tier genuinely doesn't watermark exports — credit where it's due — but it's a manual timeline editor with utility AI, capped at 1080p. And CapCut has no blanket free watermark either; one attaches when you use Pro-locked assets or features. If watermark-free manual editing is all you need, those are fair picks. If you want the edit performed for you, at source quality, in the browser with nothing to install — that's Valmera.
Free Doesn't Mean Feature-Cut
Everything the agent can do, it can do on the free plan. That includes the cleanup passes — silence removal, filler words, repeated takes — plus word-accurate captions with styled presets and karaoke word-by-word highlights, 7 on-screen text templates with 12 bundled fonts, a 24-track royalty-free music library with smooth ducking under speech, 0.25x–4x speed changes, 7 transition styles, targeted zooms and automatic punch-ins, color-grade presets plus custom grades, region blur, and reframing to 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, or 4:5.
Each request delivers one polished result you can keep refining in follow-ups, and the honesty layer verifies every agent reply against the edits actually made. Browse the whole toolkit on the AI video editing tools hub, or see the full capability rundown on the AI video editor page.
