VidiEditor - Web browser video editor
VidiEditor is the browser-based video editor solution for journalists and video content producers who need to quickly and easily create short- and medium-form content. It can be integrated into enterprise environments, including broadcast workflows, or dynamically scale with cloud-based SaaS deployments on the VidiNet media services platform.
Browser-based editing - Use cases
VidiEditor enables simple editing, for example in news, web, sports, or infotainment, resulting in high-quality content that is “air-ready” for broadcast or distribution on the web or social media. VidiEditor compliments the functionality of craft editing NLEs (non-linear editing software) such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid MediaComposer, or Davinci Resolve, by providing an intuitive user interface to start projects and allowing hand over projects to finalize in the NLE.
Perfect for remote working
With the UI accessed through a standard web browser and media streamed into the client, our browser video editor, VidiEditor, is a perfect fit for remote working or a distributed workforce. Users just open a web page and start editing based on a centralized media repository. Since VidiEditor is a web browser video editor based on HTML-5 technology, it requires no specialist applications or client-side installations.
Rapid Onboarding
The Vidispine browser-based video editor comes with a modern and highly intuitive user interface simplifying technical parameters while concentrating on the use case. It allows for rapid onboarding of new users on standard office laptops or desktops without the need for intensive training.
Completely scalable
VidiEditor allows dynamic scaling for all used backend components supporting Kubernetes-based infrastructure. On the user’s side, VidiEditor scales with the number of concurrent user sessions, rather than named users, meaning that you are never paying for unused application instances.
Centralized Media
VidiEditor builds on the class-leading VidiCore media-management back-end as a centralized repository making projects, media, and metadata accessible for all your users. This also provides central user management, deletion protection, and backend tasks while also enabling powerful integrations to other services and applications via the VidiCore API.

What is a web-based video editor?
Using VidiEditor in a SaaS environment enables you to use a web browser video editor that is harnessing the power of cloud computing, allowing you to book the needed infrastructure in the cloud and scale it as needed. The files are stored centrally hosting the browser video editor, where the user controls the interface from a standard web browser. Video editing on a browser provides a plethora of advantages to a company’s video production workflow and needed infrastructure.
Benefits of editing videos online
We’ve already seen what Netflix has done to the movie industry, completely changing the way the world watches movies, shows, and series, by utilizing web technologies to great effect. We’re seeing a similar revolution within the gaming industry, where game streaming services from Nvidia, Microsoft, and Google are gaining ground.
And the same is happening in the editing industry where utilizing video editors on a browser is becoming more commonplace. These are the three main advantages of moving to a web-based workflow:
-
Harnessing the power of cloud computing
A true browser-based video editor is powered by the latest cloud computing technologies, opening up a new world of opportunities for the software and user. Transcoding, streaming, and number of users can be scaled up and down dynamically without the need of designing a complex server infrastructure. Editing videos can be performed on low-end computers/laptops saving you money on hardware and at the same time causing little to zero impact on battery life. Moreover, since the heavy processing is removed from your computer, you can still use it even while the video is rendering or being transcoded.
-
Almost endless cloud storage
Editing videos in the cloud pretty much means access to endless storage. This directly removes the need for a company to invest in expensive storage solutions. Not to mention, sharing a specific project or library with someone else is as simple as sending an invite.
-
Convenience
Last but not least, the great convenience of an online browser video editor. No more bulky hardware, no computer hardware requirements, and access from anywhere, at any time where an internet connection is available.
