3 online video editing services right in the browser

1. Clipchamp

This Chrome browser-exclusive service offers all the basic features a video editor should have. It features an intuitive interface with the ability to drag and drop all the necessary objects directly onto the timeline.

Video, music and audio effects can be taken from the stock library, which contains a lot of useful content. For example, there you can find short sounds of a heartbeat, rustling grass, crackling fire and much more.

For video, cropping, frame rotation, color balancing, background selection, as well as various filters and transitions are available. You can easily add text to a timestamp by choosing its font, size, and color. Clipchamp can work with MP4, MOV and WEBM formats.

The service is available completely free of charge, but when using stock media files, the clipchamp watermark will be superimposed on the video. In addition, clips can only be saved in SD (480p) format. Purchasing a premium account removes all restrictions and allows you to export videos in 720p and 1080p quality.

2. Hippo Video

This service allows you to download video files up to 500 MB or work with video recorded directly from your PC's webcam. You can import clips for editing both from computer memory and from Google Drive, which is very convenient.

Hippo Video also supports drag-and-drop functionality, which is available even when uploading media files. You can transfer the desired track or video by simply dragging and dropping from a folder on your PC to the import window in the browser.

In terms of formats, the service is unpretentious: you can use MP4, MKV, FLV, 3GP and MPG. In any case, the video resolution is selected even before editing. On the free plan, you can save in 720p quality, but the duration of the video should not exceed one hour.

Hippo Video is not tied to a specific browser, however, when using Chrome, you will have an additional function of recording video from the screen, which is useful when creating training videos.

3. WeVideo

Another functional online service that offers a convenient timeline with multiple tracks for audio and video. All the necessary tools are available for editing, from simple cropping scissors to transition effects between frames.

WeVideo can import media files not only from the memory of your PC, but also from various cloud storages, Facebook and even Instagram. In addition, the service provides access to a large library of stock audio files and video inserts.

When using the service for free, videos can only be saved in 480p format, and even with a watermark. A paid account removes these restrictions, allowing you to export finished videos even in 4K.
