Everything you need
to push further

Editing, animation, text, effects, color, AI, audio and export. The whole editor, one category at a time.

01 路 Editing

A timeline that keeps up

Stack as many layers as the edit needs, cut fast on a magnetic main track, and nest anything inside anything.

Editing on the LiteSplice timeline
  • Unlimited stacked layers

    Video, image, text, shape and audio, as many as the edit needs.

  • Magnetic main track

    Clips close up on the main track; layers above stay where you put them.

  • Snapping

    Clips, the playhead, markers and keyframes all snap to each other. Hold a key to suspend it.

  • Split, delete left / right

    Cut at the playhead and clear either side in one press.

  • Split scenes

    Right-click a clip and LiteSplice finds every cut inside it and splits it there.

  • Linkage

    Switch it on and the titles, overlays and sounds sitting over a main-track clip move with it.

  • Pictures on the timeline

    Clips show frames from their own footage, with the sound wave along the bottom.

  • Freeze frame and crop

    Hold a moment, or crop a layer without moving it.

  • Precompositions

    Nest any group of layers at any depth, and open it back up later. A precomp edits like any clip: speed, effects, animations, transitions and its own sound. Convert one to a video clip in a click.

  • Null layers and parenting

    Drive a whole group of layers from one controller.

  • Adjustment layers

    An effect, grade or camera shake that applies to everything below it. Drag an effect onto the timeline to make one.

  • Markers and beat markers

    Mark moments by hand, or let LiteSplice mark every beat.

  • Group drag and copy / paste attributes

    Move a selection together; copy a look from one clip and paste it onto fifty.

  • Speed ramps

    Speed is a keyframeable curve, not a single number.

  • Reverse

    Play any clip backwards, sound and all.

  • Time remap

    Keyframe which moment of the footage shows, so a clip can run forwards, hold and run backwards without duplicating it. The sound follows along.

  • One transition, many cuts

    Select several clips and pick a transition to put it on every cut between them, or copy one to every cut on a layer.

  • Shape layers

    Rectangle, ellipse, triangle and star, the pen, or draw freehand with smoothing. Fade the fill to keep just the outline.

  • Masks

    Shapes, the pen, freehand Draw or text. Fade the hidden part back in with mask opacity, and choose the point a mask turns around.

  • Animated GIFs

    Import a GIF and it plays, loops and keeps its see-through parts.

  • Hide and lock layers

    Take a layer out of the picture, or protect it from stray edits.

  • Remove object

    Select something with the Smart Brush and LiteSplice paints it out of the shot, using what is behind it in the clip鈥檚 other frames.

  • Stabilization

    An effect like any other: steady a handheld shot, keep the camera move, or lock it off completely.

  • Canvas behind the clip

    Blurred, a colour, or mirrored edges that copy everything the clip shows. Apply it to the whole main track in one click.

02 路 Animation

Every parameter can be animated

Transforms, effect settings, color, text. If it has a value, it can have keyframes, and every keyframe has a curve you can shape.

Every keyframe is a bezier curve. Drag the handles to shape the motion.
  • Keyframes on everything

    Not a curated list. Every parameter the app has.

  • Full graph editor

    Bezier curves with handles you can drag, on any keyframe. Copy a curve鈥檚 shape onto other properties in one step.

  • In / Out / Loop animations

    Fades, zooms, slides, spins, pops, pulses and wobbles, each an ordinary setting you can change.

  • Animate on the beat

    Pulses, zooms, shakes, flashes and effect hits on every beat of the music, written as normal keyframes.

  • Procedural camera motion

    Handheld, drift or impact movement that you control down to the frequency layers.

  • Directional motion blur

    From animated movement, or measured from the motion inside the footage itself.

  • Presets

    Save an animation once, with its effects and color grade, and apply it to fifty clips at a time.

03 路 Text

Titles, down to the letter

Every character can be animated on its own, with the styling a title actually needs.

A title animating in letter by letter in LiteSplice
  • Per-character animation

    After Effects-style animators with a range you can keyframe.

  • Letter presets

    Typewriter, Fade In Letters, Rise In, Drop In, Pop In, Spin In and Wave, each one editable afterwards.

  • Outline, shadow and background box

    Stroke weight and color, a one-click shadow, and a padded box with rounded corners.

  • Gradient text

    Two colors across the whole title, at any angle, with a hard edge or a soft blend.

  • Wrapping and hollow text

    Set a wrap width; turn the fill down to show only the outline.

  • Extruded text

    Give letters depth, with a side you can color, shade and point any way, all keyframeable.

  • Masks on text

    Reveal a title through a shape.

  • Text masks

    Show a clip only through the letters of your words.

  • Your own fonts

    Import .ttf and .otf files. The font list previews each font in its own typeface.

  • Stickers

    A built-in sticker library with search, more free packs to download when you want them, and your own pictures.

  • SRT / VTT import

    A subtitle file becomes ordinary, editable text layers in one step.

04 路 Effects

Powerful effects library, continually expanding

Effects are building blocks you stack, reorder, switch off and keyframe. A browser shows each one on your own clip before you pick it.

  • An effect browser that shows your clip

    A wide panel of big thumbnails of the selected clip, presets beside each effect, favourites, recents and categories. Effects made of movement play a short preview when you hover.

  • A Tools menu

    The effects that fix or combine footage, like Stabilization, Deflicker, Chroma Key and Corner Pin, in a menu of their own with its own search.

  • Made for text or footage

    A switch shows the effects made for titles or for footage first, and each one is tagged.

  • Search that ranks exact matches first

    Type the name and get that effect, not something that merely contains it.

  • Stack, reorder, switch off

    Every effect in a stack can be moved or turned off on its own.

  • Your own stickers as particles

    Put the Particle Emitter on a sticker or picture and it throws copies of itself, in front of it, behind it or swirling around it.

  • Effects that feed each other

    Noise can drive a Displacement Map or a Time Displacement, so a moving pattern warps your footage or bends it through time.

05 路 Color

A real color tab

Primary correction, creative looks and the scopes to check them, in a tab of its own.

The LiteSplice Color tab with scopes
A shot before gradingThe same shot after grading in LiteSplice
  • Exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows

  • Scopes: histogram, waveform, RGB parade, vectorscope

    Sharp at any size, with numbered scales. Pop them out into their own window and keep them beside the picture while you edit.

06 路 AI

Local AI, editable results

The AI tools run on your computer. Each one leaves ordinary data behind, like a mask, keyframes or audio clips, that you can open and change.

Smart Brush masking a person from a single stroke in LiteSplice
  • Smart Brush

    Paint over a person or object once; it is cut out through the whole shot, with edge refinement, at Best quality or a quicker Fast. Where it slips, fix that frame and track on from there. It works on pictures too.

  • Auto captions

    Speech becomes ordinary, editable captions in about 90 languages, as subtitle lines or word by word, broken where you naturally pause. Words can fade in as they are said. Style them all at once.

  • Object Select

    Hover over a person or object and the whole of it lights up as one solid shape. Click to select it.

  • Object and mask tracking

    Masks, blurs and titles follow a face or an object, and Reframe holds a subject still in the frame. The track stays on what you boxed through a long clip, and Precise brings it back if the subject is hidden for a moment.

  • Stabilization

    Measured in seconds, even on 4K, and it zooms only as far as it needs to.

  • Frame interpolation

    Smooth slow motion at Best quality or a much quicker Fast, and a Smooth motion tick at export that turns 24 or 30fps footage into a true 60 or 120.

  • Stem separation

    Vocals, drums, bass and other. Take out just the stems you want.

  • Voice isolate / remove

    Keep only the voice on a clip, or everything but it.

  • Beat detection

    A marker on every beat, so cutting to the music becomes an ordinary cut.

  • Smart relight

    Light a subject after the fact, following them through the shot.

07 路 Audio

Sound that stays in sync

Audio is the master clock. The picture follows the sound, so cuts stay tight.

Audio tracks with waveforms and beat markers in LiteSplice
  • Multi-track audio
  • Volume, fades and waveforms

    Waveforms follow the volume and turn red where the sound gets too loud.

  • Normalize loudness

    One switch evens out a clip: loud moments like gunshots come down and the quiet parts come up.

  • Solo and mute
  • Pitch-preserving speed changes
  • Voiceover

    Record your voice straight onto its own audio track while the timeline plays, with a countdown and a level meter.

  • Record your camera

    Film from your webcam or camera straight onto the timeline, with your microphone at the same time.

  • Audio filters

    Chipmunk, deep voice, robot, telephone, megaphone, underwater, echo, reverb, old radio and vinyl, with an amount you can keyframe.

  • Extract and restore audio

    Pull a clip鈥檚 sound onto its own track, and put it back.

  • Files with several audio tracks

    Pick a track, or lay every track on its own lane. Made for OBS recordings.

08 路 Export

What you see is what you export

The export is drawn by the same renderer as the preview, and automated tests compare the two pixel for pixel.

The LiteSplice export options
  • Up to 4K, up to 120fps
  • H.264 and H.265, hardware encoded
  • Presets for YouTube, TikTok, Reels and Shorts
  • Save your own export presets
  • Custom size and bitrate

    Any size in your project鈥檚 shape, 1440p, and the exact bitrate you want, held constant if you like.

  • Smooth motion export

    One tick invents the in-between frames, so 24 or 30fps footage exports evenly paced at 60 or 120.

  • Loud mixes are fitted, not clipped

    When music and game sound add up past what a file can hold, the loudest moments are eased down as it exports.

  • Still-frame export

    PNG or JPEG, made for thumbnails.

  • Range rendering

    Render a heavy stretch once and it plays back smoothly.

09 路 Workflow

The small things, handled

Details that save a few seconds a hundred times a day.

The LiteSplice editor
  • Shortcuts on hover

    Every button tells you its name and its shortcut.

  • Click the preview to select

    Click the picture and the top layer under the pointer is selected, with no hunting for its bar on the timeline.

  • Zoom the preview

    Pinch or scroll to get in close for detailed masking and placement.

  • Shortcuts your way

    Change any shortcut, give an action two keys, and copy your setup to another computer.

  • Search everywhere

    Effects, animations, transitions, color and properties all have a search box.

  • Live autosave and backups

    Your work is on disk within seconds, with backups beside the project.

  • Reopens where you left off

    Zoom, scroll and playhead, back exactly where they were.

  • Scrub in the Media panel

    Hover over a selected video to see any moment of it before it goes on the timeline.

  • Media relinking

    Moved a folder? Point to one file and the rest follow.

  • OBS .mkv import

    Recordings open straight in, every audio track intact.

  • Proxy media

    Lighter copies of heavy 4K footage, made in the background, so slower computers edit smoothly. Exports always use your originals.

  • Project home screen

    Your projects as cards with thumbnails, search, rename and duplicate.

  • Automatic updates

    On Windows and Mac. LiteSplice offers each new version, and downloading it is your choice.
