Editly AI
Free AI Video Editor
Is Editly's free AI video editor really free?
Yes — 3 full AI-edited exports with no watermark and no credit card required. After 3 exports, Pro is $28/month for 100 AI-edited videos.
Free AI Video Editing vs Free Manual Editing
Both are free. The difference is what you get for that zero-dollar cost.
| Decision | Other Apps | Editly |
|---|---|---|
| Export limits | Free manual editors (DaVinci, Shotcut): unlimited exports — free forever with no restrictions | Editly free: 3 AI-edited exports — full quality, no watermark, then $28/month |
| Editorial work required | Free manual editors: all editorial decisions are manual — 1-4 hours per video | Editly free: AI makes editorial decisions — 15-20 minutes per video |
| Silence removal | Free manual editors: not built-in — requires manual scrubbing every time | Editly: silence removal is a prompt instruction — works on all plans including free |
| Captions | Free manual editors: DaVinci has Speech to Text; most others require SRT import | Editly: captions generated automatically as part of the prompt on all plans |
