About

A full editing suite that lives in a browser tab.

Nova Clip started with a simple question: why should cutting a video mean installing gigabytes of software, creating an account, or uploading your footage to someone else's server?

Modern browsers can decode video, run real-time pixel effects and record the result — all on your own machine. Nova Clip puts those capabilities behind a proper non-linear editor: a multi-track timeline, color grading with lift/gamma/gain wheels, chroma key, speed ramps, beat-synced cutting and title templates.

Everything runs client-side. You open a page, drop in your clips and start editing. When you export, the finished file is written straight to your downloads folder. Your footage never makes a round trip through a server.

Nova Clip is an independent project and is updated regularly — see the changelog for what's new.

What we care about

Private by design

No upload step exists, so there is nothing to leak. Your media is processed in memory on your own device.

Instant to start

No installer, no account, no waiting. Open the editor and your first cut is seconds away.

Real tools, not toys

Color wheels, scopes, J/K/L shuttle, markers, ripple edits — the workflow editors already know.

How it works

Canvas 2D

Renders every preview frame and applies color grades, blend modes, glow, grain and transitions in real time.

Web Audio API

Mixes tracks, drives per-clip volume and fades, draws waveforms and detects beats.

WebCodecs

Decodes your footage and encodes the finished video to MP4 (H.264) or WebM frame by frame — fast export, often several times faster than real time.

MediaRecorder

Records the timeline as it plays, for projects and browsers the fast exporter can't handle.

localStorage

Autosaves your edit decisions so a closed tab doesn't cost you your work.

Try it on your own footage.
