From video idea to upload, without a pile of apps.

Research the topic, write a hook that holds, script every segment, then edit and export for long-form and Shorts. Your notes stay next to your timeline.

The usual problems

Sound familiar?

01

Ideas live in five places

Notes app, a doc, a spreadsheet of sources, bookmarks for reference videos. None of it is next to the edit.

02

The hook gets written last

The first 30 seconds decide whether people stay, and they often get the least planning.

03

Shorts are a second project

Re-cutting a long video for 9:16 shouldn’t mean starting over in another tool.

How it works

Four steps, all in one place.

  1. 1

    Research

    Save reference videos with takeaways, and sources with an accuracy rating.

  2. 2

    Hook and script

    Write the hook first, then the outline and every segment’s narration.

  3. 3

    Edit

    Multi-track timeline with keyframes, transitions, colour looks, speed and captions.

  4. 4

    Export twice

    YouTube 1080p or 4K for the main video, 9:16 for Shorts, captions as SRT.

The tools

What you’ll use most.

All features

Research that stays put

Audience notes, example videos, sources and objectives live in the project, not in a separate doc.

Hook and script tools

Sections and segments with narration, visual notes and estimated time, so you know the length before recording.

Keyframes and looks

Animate position, scale, rotation and opacity. Apply a colour look or adjust by hand.

Transitions and speed

11 transitions, speed changes, reverse and freeze frames.

Shorts at 9:16

Export vertical 1080×1920 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok.

Captions

Import or export SRT and WebVTT, styled with text presets.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Something else? Ask us, a person replies.

Can I upload straight to YouTube?
Not yet. Export the file and the SRT captions, then upload them in YouTube Studio.
Does it handle 4K footage?
Yes. The editor previews a lighter copy of your footage so playback stays smooth, and the final export uses the originals at up to 4K.
Is FluidEditor good for vlogs or gaming videos?
You can edit them, and the timeline, transitions and colour tools work for any footage. The planning and annotation tools are where FluidEditor stands out, so it suits educational and how-to channels best.
Can I make thumbnails?
No. FluidEditor makes videos; use your usual design tool for thumbnails.
