A few months ago, I ran into a simple but annoying problem: I needed to quickly create videos from images, small clips, and text. I had tried well-known editors like OpenShot, which work great, but for something fast they felt heavy and slow. That’s when I asked myself: why not build my own tool? An application that would be lightweight enough to solve my personal need, and that could also live on the web so I could use it from anywhere.
The tool is built entirely with client-side JavaScript, using Canvas to render images, videos, and text. It doesn’t rely on external servers or installations—everything runs directly in the browser. This means all processing happens locally on your machine, keeping the experience fast, lightweight, and secure.
That’s how this project was born: a professional video generator built entirely with JavaScript and canvas, running directly in the browser. At first, I thought of it only as a tool for myself, but as I kept working on it, I realized I could share it with others. I published it online with the idea that if anyone else found it useful, it would be a double win.
✨ Create your first video with the Online Video Generator
The application lets you upload images, videos, and audio, organize them into frames, and apply custom settings: timings, transitions, overlays, and even visual effects. Everything happens within a simple interface that shows the list of frames on one side and each frame’s configuration panel on the other. The idea is that in just a few minutes, you can have a finished video—without heavy software or complicated installations.
To celebrate, I put together an example: a one-minute video created entirely with this tool, combining images, clips, and effects. I’ve also included a couple of screenshots so you can see the interface in action.
This isn’t just another video editor—it’s a tool designed to be practical and straightforward. The first version is already live, and while there’s still plenty to improve, I’m happy to share it with the community.
