Simple browser-based video editor.

WeVideo - Video Editor and Maker is a simple video editing and creation app that runs in the Google Chrome browser. If you've ever wanted to make your own videos to share on Facebook or YouTube or to include as part of a presentation, it has everything you need to let your creativity shine. No matter what your style is, the videos you create with this tool can truly captivate and amaze your audience.

Runs Directly in Your Browser

What makes WeVideo - Video Editor and Maker rather unique in the world of video editing software is that it runs directly in the Google Chrome browser. The extension is very lightweight and takes only a few minutes to install. All that you need to use the software is a PC that runs a recent version of Google Chrome and an Internet connection. This makes the software compatible with computers running a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux and macOS.

When it comes to performance, WeVideo - Video Editor and Maker is a program that seems to do its job very well. There are no major bugs or glitches that break its functionality. Just like any other video editor, it will perform better on computers that have a good amount of RAM and a powerful CPU, but it isn't as demanding on system resources as many other video editors. It will run just fine on a lower end netbook.

Very Easy to Use

One of the main downsides of many video editing tools, especially those aimed at professionals, is that they're rather difficult to use and have a steep learning curve. This isn't the case with WeVideo - Video Editor and Maker. It comes with a very intuitive and user friendly interface, so you can figure out how everything works in the program in just a couple of minutes.

It supports various editing features such as trimming, adding text overlays, animations, plus drag and drop. The program also gives you access to a wide library of free music, animations, images and video elements. Once you're done creating your videos, you can either download them to your PC or save them in the cloud with Google Drive.

Create and Edit Videos for Free

WeVideo - Video Editor and Maker is free to download and use. However, the free edition does come with a few limitations. Most notably, it places a watermark on every video that you create. If you find this software useful, you can upgrade to the premium edition and get the ability to create an unlimited number of videos without any watermarks being placed on them.
