Gerty Video Editor

https://gerty.tomg.cool/

I made a video editor thats free to use and doesn't make you sign up to some dogshit subscription just to be able to export your video or add text or whatever. It doesn't charge for basic shit, doesn't cram AI down your throat, it just works in your browser and its free and that's that. 

You can donate if you want, but you don't have to. I made it because I wanted a simple video editor for putting silly guitar videos on the internet and all the ones out there already have the most insane extortinate prices in order to be able to do the most basic functionality. It has like, a fraction of the features of Canva or Capcut or whatever, but it isn't actively morally evil, so at least theres that.

More formally, the feature list (As of Aug 2026) is

• Add images, video clips and audio. Everything stays on your machine; nothing is ever uploaded anywhere, Gerty literally doesn't have a server/API component.
• Stack clips on layers, move and group them, trim their ends, split a clip in two.
• Arrows, text boxes, rectangles, circles and freehand pen
• Keyframe an object's position, size, rotation and opacity; add on-appear / on-exit transitions; give text a type-on reveal and arrows a draw-on.
• Screen-recorder-style zoom and pan push-ins that glide across the frame, with their own keyframes.
• Bunch of effects: black & white, sepia, vignette, film grain, old film, hue shift, contrast, bleach bypass, light leaks, chromatic split, plus GPU shader looks like gradient maps, duotone, CRT, VHS, halftone and comic ink.
• Drop a whole graded look on a clip: Cinematic (teal & orange), Cinematic Cool, Super 8, Retro TV, Film Noir, Comic Book and more. Every preset is just a starting point you can tweak.
• Real-time preview, then export to MP4 (H.264 + AAC) at a resolution and quality you choose, with a file-size estimate before you commit.
• Export a project to a .gerty file and re-import it later to pick up where you left off.

It's designed for simple motion graphics-y type stuff. Animating text and images and video clips, etc.

I made a super quick walkthrough-ish here
