Free video editor for Windows

Edit your videos by editing the words.

ClipCookie transcribes your video, then lets you cut it like a document. Delete a word in the transcript and it disappears from the video.

Free forever. No watermark. 4K export with ClipCookie Pro.

Everything you need to make a clean video

Made for talking videos, tutorials, podcasts and screen recordings, with a full editor behind the transcript.

Edit the words, the video follows

ClipCookie turns your speech into a transcript with a time for every word. Delete a sentence and it is gone from the video. Move a paragraph and the clip moves with it.

Transcribe on your own computer

Built-in local transcription runs offline, so nothing leaves your machine. Prefer a cloud service? Use Gemini, ElevenLabs or OpenRouter with your own key.

Clean up in minutes

Find and remove long pauses, tighten the gaps between words, and clear out filler words, stutters and retakes.

A real timeline when you need it

Multiple video and audio tracks, split, trim, groups, keyframes, speed changes and freeze frames, all kept in step with the transcript.

Text, captions and effects

Add titles, burn in captions or save SRT and VTT files, and use zooms, blur, fades and transitions to finish the video.

Record your screen

A built-in screen recorder with your camera and microphone, ready to edit the moment you stop.

Works with your AI assistant

Connect Claude Code, Codex or another assistant and ask it to edit for you. You stay in control and can take over at any time.

Your files stay yours

Your footage and projects stay on your computer. ClipCookie never uploads them, and everything you make belongs to you.
