DriftEdit at work
Perfect quality (AI)
Export a 1080p edit at 4K and an AI model redraws every frame: sharper and cleaner, with the noise and compression blocks gone and the motion fluid on every frame. Editors usually make this pass in a separate upscaler after exporting. DriftEdit makes it in the export.
Exported at 4K
With Perfect quality (AI)Fluid on every frame
Smooth motion is included. Any frame that would repeat a picture, from footage with fewer frames a second than the export or a slowed clip, is drawn by a model.
On your device, with Pro
The model runs in the browser tab on the graphics card, and nothing is uploaded. It takes longer than a usual export: about half a second a frame on a fast graphics card.
AI models that run in the tab
Fourteen models run inside the browser, through ONNX Runtime Web: on the graphics card through WebGPU where the browser has it, and in WebAssembly across the processor's threads. Each downloads once, from DriftEdit's own site, the first time it is used. What they hear and see stays on the device.

Stems for a drop
Split into stems separates a song into vocals, drums, bass and other, each on its own track under the song. Turn the vocals down under speech, or let only the drums play into the drop.

A clean voice
Clean up the voice turns down rumble and steady room noise and sets the level to -16 LUFS. Isolate the voice lifts the dialogue out of music and effects: in a browser test, a loud tone under speech drops by more than 20 dB while the voice stays within 6 dB. The original recording is kept.

Fluid slow motion
Smooth motion draws the frames between the footage's own, so a clip slowed to half speed or less still moves on every frame. Auto mode smooths its slowed shots in the background. At export, the whole edit goes to 60 fps, or 120 with Pro, never blended across a cut.

A still frame that moves
Still frame holds a frame of a clip, cuts out its subject, whatever it is (a car, a person, a drawn character), and animates it over the background on the beat. The subject and the background each take moves of their own: a rise with an impact, a glow, a shaking shadow, a slide with a trail, the background bent by a lens or pushed in for depth. Editors put it on the beats before a drop.

B-roll on the words matches footage in the bin to the speech, and places a shot over the speaker only where it clearly shows what is said.

Captions spoken
Speak the captions says every caption in an AI voice, a woman's or a man's, in all thirteen of the editor's languages. Each word is timed to the voice, so the caption styles that mark the spoken word follow it.

Who speaks, and what is heard
Captions from speech can find the people speaking and name each turn, two at once on lines of their own, and caption the sounds where nobody speaks: music, applause, laughter, a door, a siren.

Auto mode follows the song
Auto mode analyses the tempo, bars, kicks and drop, then matches sharp, active shots to the music. Choose from ten styles, or open one in the style editor and make it yours. Change any clip and remake the rest around it.
Clean
Straight cuts on the bar
Straight cuts on the bar with slow push-ins, the footage left free of effects, and a fade to black at the end.
Cinematic
Long holds, slow push-ins
Holds shots across several bars with slow push-ins, and slower playback in calm passages. Uses long dissolves, a film grade with grain, and fades from and to black.
Narrative
Jump cuts in order
Follows the footage in order, jumping at least half a second at each cut, so the story keeps moving. Cuts on the beat, with few transitions.
Smooth
Transitions between shots
Cuts on the bar with long dissolves, zooms, blurs, slides and light leaks between shots, and a gentle bounce on the drop.
Hype
Cuts on kicks, punch-ins on the drop
Cuts on every kick of the drop, with a bounce and a flash zoom or whip pan on the cuts. Adds punch-ins at new sections and a rewind into the drop.
Phonk
Flash cuts and freeze frames
For phonk and montagem. Alternates flash zooms and shake flashes on every cut of the drop, with glitch flashes in the middle, negative flips, black and white passages, ghost landings and blinks on the beat. Opens fading in, freezes into the drop and at the end, with a dark grade and a fade to black.
Anime
Flash shakes, negatives, ghosts
For anime and character edits. Cuts on the kicks from the first bar, every cut a shake flash, flash zoom or zoom blur, with negative flips, black and white passages, ghost landings, blinks and negative boxes on the beat. Opens fading in and ends in black and white.
Velocity
Speed ramps into every hit
Speed ramps slow the footage on each kick of the drop and speed it up between kicks. Uses slower playback in calm passages, with flash zooms into the drop, zoom transitions and a vivid grade.
Chaos
Glitch and shake on the hits
Cuts on every kick, with glitch flashes on the cuts and short bursts of glitch, RGB split and shake on the hits. Adds tape noise in the middle.
Reverse
Reverse shots on the beat
Cuts on kicks, with reverse shots that zoom as they play and flash zooms on the cuts. Adds rewinds on the beat and into the drop.
Hatched clips play in reverse. A notch marks a transition.
Start from a template
Templates are edits ready to fill: cuts on a beat, transitions, effects and words, with a coloured slot for each of your shots. Use one as it is, or make your own.
Ready to fill
A Phonk montage, a Shorts hook, a YouTube intro, a photo dump, a travel opener, a product promo, a countdown and a quote card. Choose your clips and words, and the template opens as a new sequence to keep editing.
Your own templates
Save any edit as a template and choose which clips become slots. Logos and songs it still uses travel inside it.
Share them as a file
A template is a single .drifttemplate file. Another editor opens it and fills it with their own footage. Nothing is uploaded.
Edit every clip on the timeline
Trim clips, add tracks and keyframes, apply effects or set titles and captions. Auto edits use the same timeline, with every clip open to changes.
Keyframes and speed
Keyframe scale, position, rotation and opacity, and shape the easing in a graph editor. Each clip supports speed ramps with their sound, smooth slow motion, reverse and rewind. Automation lanes control volume, pan and filters.
Effects and transitions
226 effects and 87 transitions, drawn with WebGPU where there is a real graphics card and WebGL 2 otherwise, with colour wheels, curves and .cube LUTs for a grade. Build your own from the catalogue's, or write one in GLSL, and share it as a file.
VFX and 3D
Fire, smoke, sparks, electric arcs, lightning, coloured powder, confetti, snow and rain, drawn in 3D on any shot and placed by dragging on the viewer. Particles in depth, 3D text, and your own 3D models in glTF, OBJ, FBX, USD, STL, 3MF, Blender or DriftEngine's .drft, with their textures, lit and filmed as you set.
Text and captions
106 text styles, 53 caption styles and 40 animations. Import and export SRT or WebVTT files, or restyle all captions at once.
Sound
Volume, pan and filters on every track, with a four-band EQ drawn as its curve, and fades on every clip. Speed ramps and reversed clips play their sound.
MP4 with sound
Export at 720p or 1080p on the free plan, at any supported frame rate. Export several aspect ratios together, or save the audio or a single frame. Enhance detail makes an export larger and sharper on the graphics card. Pro adds 4K at up to 120 fps, and Perfect quality (AI), which redraws every frame sharper and cleaner.
Record straight into the edit
Record the screen, a window or a browser tab, a camera and a microphone, together or one at a time, without leaving the editor. Each source lands on the timeline as its own clip, in sync, ready to cut.
Screen, camera and voice at once
The camera lands as a picture in the corner over the screen and the voice on its own track. Captions can be made from the voice, each word timed.
Native size, up to 120 fps
Video keeps the size and frame rate it arrives at, up to 120 frames a second where the screen or camera gives them. Sound is kept lossless.
Written to your device as it records
Pause and resume as you go and watch it grow on the timeline. Nothing is uploaded, and if the tab closes, what was recorded comes back.
A teleprompter over the preview
Paste your script and it scrolls as you record, at a speed you set or following your voice word by word, and it never shows in the recording. Pop it out into a window of its own, under the camera.
Another device as a camera
Scan a code with a phone, tablet or computer on the same Wi-Fi, and its camera and microphone join the recording, with no app and no account. Its screen shows the teleprompter too.
Full quality from the device, in sync
The device records its own copy as you record and sends it when you stop: every frame its camera gave takes the place of the picture sent over the network, lined up by its sound.
Connect an AI agent
Claude, Cursor or any MCP client can use the full editor on your computer. Each tool includes instructions for the agent.
Full editor access
52 documented tools cover every auto mode setting, timeline editing, the song's kicks, techniques, captions and export.
Check frames before export
The agent can inspect individual frames or a contact sheet before changing the edit or exporting.
On your computer
The server runs the studio in a separate Chrome instance. It reads files from disk and saves exports there. Files are never sent to DriftEdit.
Your footage never leaves your device
Decoding, editing and encoding run in the browser tab, using the device's processor and graphics card. Rendering starts on the device, without a queue or credits to buy.

Questions
Where are my videos kept?
On the device, in browser storage. Decoding, editing and export happen in the tab, and your videos are never uploaded. Signed in, your projects follow you to your other devices without their media; or save a project file, with or without its media.
Do I need an account?
No. Editing, the AI models and export all work signed out, on the free plan. Signed in, your projects (without their media), your styles, presets and settings follow you to every device, and an account pays for Pro.
Can I use any song?
Any audio file. DriftEdit does not host or sell music. The Library includes sounds and beats generated in code, free to use in exported work.
What does the free watermark look like?
The DriftEdit watermark is set to 25% opacity and 10% of the frame's shorter side. It sits within the safe area, clear of the buttons on TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
What happens after 48 hours?
A free project locks 48 hours after the last edit. Each edit restarts the clock; the remaining time is always shown. The project and its media stay on the device. Pro unlocks it. Exported files never expire.
Can an AI agent use it?
Yes. Claude, Cursor or any MCP client can use the editor through the agent server, a single file that runs the studio on your computer. It supports auto mode, timeline editing, techniques and export. Agents can inspect frames as they work. Setup instructions are on the AI agents page.
Which browsers does it work in?
Current versions of Chrome and Edge on desktop and Android are tested. Safari and Firefox support is still being tested on individual devices. Unsupported options are labelled in the editor.
What does Perfect quality (AI) do?
With Pro, it redraws every frame of an export with an AI model, Real-ESRGAN: sharper and cleaner, with the motion fluid on every frame. It is made for a 1080p edit exported at 4K and works at any size. The model runs on the device. On a fast graphics card it takes about half a second a frame.
Do the AI tools send my files anywhere?
No. Each model runs in the browser tab, on the graphics card through WebGPU or on the processor in WebAssembly. The model itself downloads once, from DriftEdit's own site, the first time a tool needs it. The footage, song or voice it works on stays on the device.
