Captions
Every word is typed out the moment you upload. Pick a style, fix the word it got wrong, and the captions stay in time as you cut.

Background edit
Remove the background behind you and replace it with a screenshot, a location or a plain colour.

Rough cut
Give the editor your footage and it puts together a first cut for you, with the best takes picked and the silences removed.

Match cut
Cut between two shots where the shape or the movement lines up, and the editor finds the exact frame for you.

TikTok effects that stand out
Built on the timeline, layer by layer.
Mixed media
Cut yourself out of the footage, add hand-drawn scribbles and paper texture, and play it back at twelve frames a second. All made in the editor with no template.

Boomerang
Loop a moment forward and back on the beat, with motion blur on the turn. Made in the editor in about an hour.

Halftone

Open the editor
Motion trail
Leave a trail behind the subject as it moves. Good for hooks and transitions.
Open the editor
Start a project
It saves to your account as you work. Open it on the laptop, pick it up on the phone, come back next month. The clips, the text, the timing, all still there.
Import the footage
Phone clips, camera files, screen recordings, the trending sound. Everything lands on the timeline.
Cut the hook first, then the rest
The scroll decision happens inside the first two seconds, so the result or the bold claim goes at the very front. Trim, stack and move clips a frame at a time, and cut on the beat with markers.
Let the agents clear the busywork
Cut the silences, turn speech into styled captions, clean the dialogue, reframe to vertical. A few clicks, and every change is a clip you can open.
Export the versions
The 9:16 for TikTok, a second cut with a different hook, one without captions. Each its own version from the same edit.
Agents and 200+ AI models, one timeline
Bring your whole creative process inside invideo, with the best image, video, audio, editing and language models on tap.
Easiest TikTok editor for everyone
Learn it in an afternoon
The first cut comes from the agents. From there it is trim, move and delete, and that is enough to post.
Own the final cut
Layers, keyframes, speed curves, masks, colour, and a mixer with a track per sound. If you've used Premiere or Resolve, your hands already know this timeline.
Sound on its own tracks
The trending sound, your voice and the effects each get their own track, so you can bring the music down under the voice or mute a clip without muting the video.
Edit together in one timeline
Your team works in the same project at the same time, not one after the other. Every save is a version you can go back to.
Three versions from one edit
Same edit, different hook
Make one cut with a stronger hook, one without captions and one that opens on the reveal, without rebuilding anything.
Reels and Shorts too
Branch a version for each platform from the same project, reframed to fit.
Export sharp
Export at 1080 by 1920, ready to post from the app or from your desktop.

TikTok video editor FAQs
What is a TikTok video editor?
A TikTok video editor is a tool for cutting footage into 9:16 vertical video with the captions, sound, and effects the feed rewards. invideo Editor is a free timeline editor that runs in the browser and as an app. It makes a first cut from your raw footage, adds captions, turns horizontal into vertical, and leaves every change on the timeline for you to adjust.
What is the best video editor for TikTok?
InVideo. Give it a prompt or drop in your clips and the AI builds a TikTok-ready video in minutes. Text, transitions, audio, overlays — everything edits on a single timeline in the semantic editor, so your footage isn't re-encoded or compressed between steps. What you put in is what you get out.
Is there a TikTok editing app, or does this run in the browser?
Both. Edit in any browser with nothing to install, or in the invideo app on iOS and Android. It's the same project either way. Start on the desktop, open it on your phone, post.
Do I need to know how to edit?
No, and you lose nothing if you do. Drop in the footage and a first cut lands on your timeline. If you already edit, the same timeline gives you layers, keyframes, speed ramps, colour and a mixer, and the agents stop being the ones doing the trimming.
What is the 3-second rule on TikTok?
Most viewers decide whether to keep watching inside the first three seconds, and the scroll decision often lands closer to a second and a half. So the hook goes first, before the product, before the setup. Ask the agents to pull the strongest opening from your footage and the cut starts there.
Will I lose my draft?
No. Projects save to your account as you work, not to your phone's storage. A crash, an app update, or a new phone doesn't take the draft with it, and every save is a version you can go back to.
Why does my TikTok look worse after I upload it?
TikTok re-encodes everything you upload, and it compresses hardest when the file is HDR, upscaled, or at a low bitrate. Export at 1080 by 1920 in SDR, and upload from tiktok.com on the desktop where you can. People report it holds quality better than sending the file through the phone.
Why do my captions get cut off on TikTok?
TikTok lays its own interface over your video. The like, comment, and share column on the right, the caption and sound bar along the bottom, the profile chip. Text under any of those gets hidden. Keep captions in the middle of the frame and above the bottom bar, and they stay readable.
Is invideo Editor free?
Yes. The editor is completely free to use, in the browser and in the app, and the export has no watermark.
Does the editor I use affect how many views I get?
TikTok doesn't publish a preference for one editor over another. What it reacts to is the video. The hook in the first seconds, whether people finish it, and whether the file uploaded clean. Export at the right spec and the editor you used isn't a factor.
Can I post the same edit to Reels and Shorts?
Yes. Branch a version for each platform from the same project. Each one keeps its own hook, captions and framing, so a change on the TikTok cut doesn't touch the Reel.
What happens to the clips that don't make the cut?
They stay in the project. Most of what you shoot won't make a fifteen-second TikTok, and the editor keeps selects, not deletions. Reach back for any take, any time.
