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.

Yes — that's a core feature Canva doesn't have. Eziclip transcribes your clip on device and lets you strike words to cut the footage, with captions following automatically.
Studio editing and every export stay free, clean, and unmetered. An agent task is one editing job — from the first change your agent makes until it stops for 30 minutes (or hits 8 hours). Free gets 10 tasks per rolling 30 days; Plus is unlimited agents, unlimited boards, AI board notes, and commercial use.
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, brand kits and team collaboration — plus a giant premium stock library. Eziclip already has free stock search and Drive/Dropbox import. If you want designed graphics, Canva is the better tool; Eziclip focuses on free 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 on Mac, Windows, or in the browser.
Yes — Studio auto-transcribes on device first, then you 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.

Eziclip hands the agent real editing know-how along with the tools, so the result follows editing craft rather than guesswork.

What's new in Eziclip
The latest updates across Studio.
A much faster Studio
Panning and zooming the board stays smooth at your display's full frame rate, even with several sheets open.
Your agent asks first, then edits to a plan
Before the first cut, your agent asks what the video is for, where it will post and how long it should be — then writes down what's in the footage and which moments it keeps. No more guessing.
eziclip on npm — edit from the terminal
One command starts Studio on your machine. Press Allow once in the browser, then your agent goes from a file on disk to a finished export — no tab to keep open.
