About Videoleap: AI Video Editor
What Is Videoleap
Videoleap is a consumer video editor built by Lightricks, the studio behind Facetune and Photoleap. It started on iPhone in September 2017, moved to Android, and now runs in a browser too, so the same account opens your projects on a phone or a laptop.
The app sits between one-tap template tools and desktop editors. You get a real timeline with layers, keyframes, and a chroma key, plus a row of AI tools that handle the tedious parts: cutting a subject out of a clip, wiping a photobomber from the frame, or restyling footage to match a trend.
The trade-offs are worth knowing before you install it. Videoleap is built for short social video, exports carry a watermark until you subscribe, and the AI tools run on a credit system that a busy week can drain. There's no public API, so nothing here plugs into an automated pipeline.
Getting Started
- Install the app from the App Store or Google Play, or open the web editor, then sign in with an email address or an Apple or Google account.
- Pick a template from the trending feed or start a blank project and set the aspect ratio for the platform you're posting to.
- Add clips, photos, text, and audio to the timeline, then trim and reorder the layers.
- Open the AI tab to apply an effect, remove an object, or swap a background. Each run uses credits.
- Export to your camera roll or share straight to Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. The seven day trial removes the watermark while it lasts.

Key features
AI Video Effects and Presets
A set of one-tap looks that restyle a clip, from AI selfie transformations to painted and animated filters. Each preset renders on the clip you select, and the result lands back on the timeline as a normal layer you can still trim. It's the fastest way to match a visual trend without learning color grading.
Object Removal and Background Tools
The cutout tool separates a subject from the frame, which covers background replacement and green screen work without an actual green screen. The object eraser paints over distractions and rebuilds the pixels behind them. Results hold up best on short clips with a mostly static camera.
Template Library for Social Platforms
Thousands of templates built for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok, sorted by trend and industry. You replace the placeholder clips with your own and the transitions, text timing, and music stay in place. Templates are also shareable, so creators can publish their own layouts to the feed.
Timeline Editing with Keyframes and Layers
Below the AI layer there's a standard editor: multiple video and image layers, keyframe animation for position, scale, and opacity, a chroma key, and frame-by-frame scrubbing. Edits are non-destructive with unlimited undo, so a bad experiment costs a tap rather than the project.
Captions, Music, and Audio Cleanup
The subtitle generator turns speech into timed captions you can restyle, and the audio tools cover trimming, muting, volume curves, and background noise removal. A royalty free music library sits inside the editor, which keeps licensing out of your workflow.
Web Editor Alongside the Mobile App
The same account opens projects in a desktop browser as well as on iOS and Android. That helps when a phone screen is too small for a dense edit, and it means you're not locked to one device. Feature parity isn't exact, so check a specific tool in the browser before you plan around it.
Pros and cons
Pros
- The AI toolkit covers object removal, background swaps, and style presets in one app, which usually means three separate subscriptions elsewhere.
- Template quality is high for social formats, and replacing the assets takes minutes rather than a rebuild.
- The timeline is genuinely capable for a phone editor, with keyframes, layers, and chroma key.
- A seven day trial unlocks everything before you commit, and monthly billing is available if you only need a short run.
- Projects sync between the mobile app and the browser editor on the same account.
Cons
- Free exports carry a watermark, so the app is only useful unpaid for testing.
- AI runs consume credits, and heavy use of effects or object removal can hit the cap before the month ends.
- The subscription is priced like a desktop tool, at roughly $70 a year for a mobile first editor.
- Long form work is awkward: the interface and templates assume vertical, sub-five-minute video.
Frequently asked questions
You can download it and edit without paying, but exports include a watermark and most AI tools stay locked. The seven day trial opens the full toolset, and after that a subscription is the only way to export clean video.
