Editor and AI assistant
Trim, cut, join, reframe, captions, effects and renders.
The VideoBB editor runs in your browser. You can trim, cut, join clips, add text and music, turn a wide video into a vertical Short, and add captions. Editing is optional. Your published video never changes, because saving an edit makes a new video.
Open any processed video from the editor page in your studio to begin. The articles below walk through the layout and the keyboard keys. They also cover the AI assistant, captions and how saving works.
What to know before you edit
- The editor plays a light copy of your video so scrubbing is instant. Saving always uses your original file.
- Every change is kept in History. You can undo, redo or go back to any earlier step.
- Saving an edit uses one save from your daily allowance: 10 in any 24 hours free, 100 on Premium.
- The AI assistant runs on your own Gemini key, so Google bills you for its use, not VideoBB.
If you only need a quick cut or a format change, the free trim tool may be faster than the full editor. For captions and subtitles in general, read our guide to captions and subtitles for video.
