Free video editors usually come with a catch: a watermark on every export, a limit of three projects, or the useful tools behind a paywall. We decided the free plan should be a real editor you can finish real work in. So we gave it nearly everything the paid plans have. The one big thing that stays paid is AI generation.
What is free now
In the desktop app, on Windows, Mac and Linux:
- Unlimited exports rendered on your computer, with no watermark.
- Background noise cleanup for voice.
- Transcription of your clips, English on your computer today.
- Video background removal, with no green screen.
- Motion and face tracking for blurs, follow cams and labels.
Everywhere, on the free plan:
- The full editor: multi-track timeline, editing by transcript, captions, color, audio mixing and version history.
- Tab, which suggests your next edit and lets you take it with one key.
- Unlimited projects, both cloud and local.
- Connecting your own AI assistant, Claude, ChatGPT, Grok and others, to edit for you.
- More than 25 free browser tools with no sign-in.
- Review links for clients to comment on exact frames, with more on the way.
What still needs a paid plan
- AI generation: video, images, voiceover, music and sound effects.
- The built-in Arsaze assistant and AI tools that run in the cloud, such as background removal in the browser.
- Cloud transcription, for languages other than English or when you work in the browser.
- More cloud storage, more cloud render time and more review links open at once.
Free cloud projects are unlimited in number, but share the free plan's cloud storage. Local projects use your own disk.
Why we did this
Hundreds of reviews told us the same thing: people wanted to try Arsaze on a real project before paying, and a watermark made that impossible. Work that runs on your own computer costs us very little, so there is no reason to charge you for it.
Pay only when you want AI to create
When you need generated b-roll, a voiceover or music, pick a paid plan, or buy a credit pack that never expires and pay as you go.
