Why do you need an online video editor

Quickly cut and edit video, voice it, insert images and provide text accompaniment — all this can be done without installing special "heavy" programs on your PC. If you are not a professional video editor, a good online video editor is enough for you.

Main advantages of online video editing programs:

  1. The absence of serious requirements for the power and parameters of the computer. The online video editor can work on a PC with low performance and even on some phones or tablets.
  2. The availability of free space on the hard disk does not matter. For those who often have to edit video files, the question of where to store them sometimes becomes very acute. If your computer cannot boast of an impressive HDD capacity, you will be forced to periodically delete old recordings or invest personal funds in purchasing additional removable hard drives. Working in an online video editor, you don’t need to worry about this at all — all files are uploaded to the program server and stored there. You save both PC space and money.
  3. Lack of attachment to a location or a specific device. You can start creating a video in the office, continue on your home laptop, and finish it on a tablet in your country house or country house. No need to worry that the serious video editing software you use at work won't install on one of your home devices, making it impossible for you to quickly make some edits. The main condition is the availability of high-speed Internet.

In the event that your computer has mediocre technical characteristics, its hard drive is already too crowded, and you often change your location during the day, an online video editor will be the best choice.

You don't have to waste time looking for all this on third-party resources — all the materials are right here, just a click away.

Among the advantages of Movie Maker Online, there is no need to register on the service website and no watermarks on the created video. The disadvantage is the ability to work only with videos of medium duration. This online program is not suitable for editing a full-fledged movie, as the process will take too long.
