Try Eziclip Studio — free
Canva is a design tool with a video editor bolted on — wonderful for templated graphics, lighter for real video work, and behind a sign-in with premium content upsold. Eziclip Studio is video-first: many clips on one board, cut-by-text, and every format side by side, free and in your browser.
Full board, multi-track timelines, live preview — autosaves in your browser.
Where Canva is genuinely better
Canva is a full design ecosystem: thousands of templates, a huge premium stock library, brand kits, graphic design, presentations, team collaboration and one-click publishing across formats. For designed social graphics and template-driven videos, Canva is excellent. Eziclip is the free, in-browser board for people who want to edit actual footage — trim, cut by text, caption and reformat — rather than fill in a template.
Questions
Yes — Eziclip Studio edits video free in your browser with no sign-in required to start. Free exports carry a small Eziclip mark in the corner; Plus ($9/mo) removes it across every tool. Canva watermarks or gates its premium elements and stock.
Yes — that's a core feature Canva doesn't have. Eziclip transcribes your clip in your browser and lets you strike words to cut the footage, with captions following automatically.
Yes. Eziclip Studio is a board: lay out many clips at once, each with its own multi-track timeline, and compare cuts and formats side by side.
Templates, graphic design, presentations, a giant premium stock library, brand kits and team collaboration. If you want designed graphics, Canva is the better tool; Eziclip focuses on free, in-browser video editing.
Yes — Studio's Color tab has CDL lift/gamma/gain wheels, a skin Match + Retouch block, one-tap AI Auto color, a Log → Color switch for flat log footage, and creative knobs — contrast, exposure, highlights and shadows, saturation, vibrance, temperature, tint, vignette and film looks. Every control is keyframeable and a grade copies across clips — free and in your browser, where Canva offers filters rather than a real grade.
Yes — pick a bundled face or any font installed on your machine (Chrome/Edge Local Font Access). Eleven word-timed animation presets burn into the export, and captions translate into nine languages.
Yes — paste one link into Claude, ChatGPT or any agent that accepts connectors, and it edits your project autonomously: cuts, captions, color, sound, stock footage and export. Eziclip hands the agent real editing know-how along with the tools, so the result follows editing craft rather than guesswork. Canva has no equivalent.
