Free AI Video Tools

OpenCut

Featured

Open-source CapCut alternative — a free video editor with timeline, multi-track, and no watermark.

OpenCut is a free, open-source video editor that bills itself as the open-source CapCut alternative. The web app ships today: drop in clips, arrange them on a multi-track timeline, preview in real time, and export without a watermark or subscription. The web app is TypeScript and Next.js; the project is being rewritten on top of a Rust core so the same codebase can target desktop and mobile next. The roadmap leans hard into openness — plugin-first architecture, an MCP server for AI agents, headless mode for batch render, and an in-editor scripting tab — so it's positioned less as a clone and more as an open video-editing platform. Sponsored by fal.ai; MIT licensed; 70k+ stars and actively maintained.

Free tier: Free — MIT licence. Self-host the web app or build from source; no subscription or watermark.

Free AI Video Tools

Palmier Pro

Featured

Open-source AI video production pipeline that you can self-host.

Palmier Pro gives video teams a self-hosted, model-agnostic pipeline that turns a script into a rendered video. It comes with adapters for the major text-to-image and text-to-video models, supports pluggable voices and B-roll generation, and ships an editor UI for human review. Because it's open source, you own the workflow and the data, and you can swap in any model you control.

Free tier: Free — Apache-2.0 licence; bring your own model API keys or run locally.
