FilmCraft

Product Overview

FilmCraft is a free, open source video editor from ArtCraft, rebuilt from scratch in pure Rust down to its own codecs. It features source and program monitors, a real timeline with three-point editing and every trim mode, and J/K/L dynamic trimming. Frame-exact time with an integer timebase keeps 23.976 and 29.97 drop-frame exact — no drift, no rounding, no mystery frames. No FFmpeg inside: native H.264, HEVC, ProRes, VP9, AAC, and Opus with bit-exact decoders. Color grading includes curves, color wheels, HSL secondaries, LUTs, HDR and log workflows, plus scopes. About 55 video effects and 30 transitions with keyframes and value/velocity graphs on a linear-light GPU compositor. Broadcast-ready audio with EBU R128 loudness meters, a mixer with automation, and native DSP effects. Available on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
