Is Editly good for TikTok and Instagram Reels?

Yes, Editly is specifically trained on high-performing social media content. It understands pacing, trends, and formats for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. You can ask it to 'make it viral' or 'cut for TikTok' and it will apply fast cuts, dynamic captions, and trending styles automatically.

How does the AI video editor work?

Unlike traditional editors where you move clips on a timeline, Editly works with natural language prompts. You upload your raw footage and type instructions like 'remove silences,' 'add B-roll,' or 'highlight the funny parts.' Our agentic AI analyzes the video content, audio, and context to execute these edits autonomously.

Can I use Editly for long-form YouTube videos?

Absolutely. Editly can process long recordings, podcasts, or vlogs. You can use it to trim fluff, remove dead air, add chapter markers, or even repurpose a long video into multiple short viral clips for social media.

Is it compatible with other tools like CapCut or Premiere Pro?

Editly is designed to replace the manual work you do in tools like CapCut or Adobe Premiere Pro. However, you can export your final video and add finishing touches elsewhere if you prefer. Most users find Editly's built-in AI capabilities sufficient for their entire workflow.

How much does Editly cost?

Editly offers a flexible pricing model. You can start with a Free Trial to test the waters. For serious creators, we have Pro and Max plans starting at $28/month (billed yearly), which offer more credits and features.

Do I need a powerful computer to use Editly?

No! Editly is entirely cloud-based. All the heavy lifting—video analysis, processing, and rendering—happens on our powerful servers. You can use Editly on any device with a web browser, including laptops, tablets, and even smartphones.

What is the best free AI video editor?

Editly is one of the best free AI video editors available. It offers a free trial with 3 credits, allowing you to test AI-powered automatic cuts, captions, transitions, and more. Unlike traditional video editors, Editly uses natural language prompts to edit videos without complex timelines.

Can AI edit videos automatically?

Yes, AI can edit videos automatically. Editly uses advanced AI to analyze your video content, detect scenes, remove silences, add captions, insert transitions, and create engaging clips. Simply describe what you want in plain English, and the AI handles the editing.

Introducing Editly — Your AI Video Editor

Today, we're introducing Editly, an AI-powered video editor that lets you upload a raw video, type a simple prompt, and watch the AI edit it for you.

Video editing has always required time, skill, and a lot of clicking around. We built Editly to change that and make editing as simple as expressing your idea. Whether it's adding highlights, creating social-ready cuts, or syncing visuals with music, Editly understands what you mean and brings it to life automatically.

A new way to edit

At the heart of Editly is a simple idea: you should be able to tell your editor what you want, not learn how to operate it. Just upload your video, type your prompt, and let the AI handle the rest.

No need to scroll through timelines or stack effects. Want captions, transitions, or popups for key highlights? Just ask. Editly turns creative intent into finished output in seconds.

"I recorded a few product demos and just typed 'show text popups for main highlights' and within minutes, Editly delivered a clean, ready-to-share video."

Built around your creative flow

Editly is designed to feel light, intuitive, and distraction free. From your New Project dashboard, you can upload videos, revisit past projects, or tweak preferences, all in one simple sidebar.

Your workspace keeps things minimal so you can focus on the story you're telling, not the software. It's built for creators, marketers, teachers, and anyone who wants professional edits without the professional learning curve.

Works with your words

Editly understands natural language prompts. That means you don't need to think like an editor, you just need to describe what you want.

You can type:

"Add captions with a modern font."
"Highlight key moments with popups."
"Cut to beat for a fast-paced reel."

The AI interprets your intent and automatically applies edits that match your request. The result is your video, your vision, realized instantly.

Fast, focused, and private

Every project you create stays private to your workspace. Editly does not send your files to public servers or external editors. It is designed with creators' control in mind. You can manage projects, upgrade plans, and report feedback directly from the sidebar.

Our goal is to keep Editly fast, predictable, and secure so it always feels like your creative companion, not a complex tool.

Designed for everyone

Whether you're a content creator posting daily, a brand team preparing campaigns, or someone just starting with video, Editly adapts to your style. There's no need for technical knowledge or advanced tools. The AI does the editing so you can focus on storytelling.

You can start for free, explore how Editly understands your prompts, and upgrade later for higher limits and exclusive features.

Happy Editlying!
