Overview
Editing videos in the cloud has never been easier! OpenShot Cloud API is a REST-based framework, which allows videos to be created, edited, transcoded, animated, and much more! It can be quickly integrated into websites, mobile applications, desktop applications, and just about any programming language which supports HTTP requests.
OpenShot Cloud API is designed as a private cloud, which you manage yourself. Run a single EC2 instance (using the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud), or scale up to hundreds of servers. Each new instance you bring online becomes a new video render "worker", allowing smooth scaling without any complex architecture changes.
Audio transcriptions can be created for any file easily using our powerful AI, and captions can be added to any clips where you need text displayed on top of the video.
Highlights
- Powerful Video Editing: Full video editing feature set, including transitions, effects, key frame animations, compositing, watermarking, audio mixing, and more!
- 100% in the Cloud: Edit videos with a simple RESTful interface! Videos are uploaded, edited, and then downloaded back to your app or website. Easy in and easy out!
- Create Templates: Easily create video templates in OpenShot Video Editor, our award-winning free, open-source desktop video editor!

What do you like best about the product?
Its limitless track functionality helps me organize visual and audio elements in my projects; I really like that I can manage multiple edits within the same environment without having to open separate files. It offers an intuitive timeline that facilitates to make adjustments to each video and conveniently color–codes video and audio tracks for improved organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
OpenShot delivers on the essentials and is simply designed for newbie and intermediate users; I only wish it could improve performance when working with bulk video files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its intuitive interface has allowed me to edit audiovisual content easily when preparing video presentations for progress reports or visual content for trainings. OpenShot has become my trusted tool for these editing tasks, it's not the most advanced option but it has unmatched ease of use and versatility.

What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to upload media and graphics, music quality does not seem to lower either.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only downside is the lack of a visible autosave feature. If I don't save every 10-15 minutes and it decides to crash, my previous work is mostly lost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping me make fun, interesting videos in a timely manner. I also love that it's free to install!

What do you like best about the product?
This app is very easy to use and free too! I downloaded it and watched a tutorial, a few minutes later I was ready to edit my first video. I do not have a degree in video editing but the products from my Openshot edits were of high quality.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are times when the app just shuts down in the middle of editing. It's rather annoying especially if you haven't saved your work. There were instances when I had to redo my work because the app had shut down.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The fact that there is no need to pay for a video editing tool because OpenShot is open source. That's just awesome! Most free resources have ads, I was expecting to see some with the app but haven't yet.
