Video Editor Overview - Features and Use Cases | ImagineArt

Imagine Video Editor brings professional-grade editing power into an easy-to-use interface. With no software installs, timelines to wrestle with, or a complicated learning curve, it is a bridge between your creative video idea and the professionally done final output.

It’s not just about editing. It’s about speed, structure, and smart video storytelling that fits your creative flow. From refinement of AI-generated videos to remixing your own assets, this browser-based editor lets you trim, layer, style, and finish videos with cinematic flair.

Though Imagine Video Editor may not be heavily-equipped like pro editing suites and software/tools, but it is an editor fit for all, be it a beginner lacking prior experience or a professional looking for a quick edit.

Why Video Editing Still Matters in the AI Age

AI-generated videos can be incredibly powerful. But even the most beautifully generated clip often needs something more like:

• Combining multiple video segments
• Adding brand assets or product callouts
• Fixing pacing or trimming dead space
• Layering visuals, text, and sound into one cohesive experience

That’s where Imagine Video Editor comes in — turning raw material into scroll-stopping content. A simple, AI-friendly, browser-based tool that lets you combine and customize videos, including those generated by Imagine Video Studio, Imagine Shorts, and even utilize the images generated by Imagine Image Studio.

How Imagine Video Editor Works

Here’s a step-by-step guide to how the editor works, whether you’re starting with AI content or uploading your own footage.

Step 1: Access the Editor

Head to your ImagineArt dashboard and click on Video Editor. You can start with:

Step 2: Select Output Format

Choose your video size at the beginning:

The editor will adapt your canvas and tools accordingly — no stretching or awkward cropping needed.

Step 3: Upload or Import Media

Bring in your content:

Each layer is independently customizable — making the editing process modular and flexible.
