The quintessential 'zero-friction' editor for Windows and Mac. In late 2025, Movavi 2026 emphasizes AI-driven automation with its new Silence Removal, Auto-Subtitle styles, and frame-accurate Blade tool.

A high-performance NLE famous for its rendering speed and massive effect library. The late 2025 update features 'Character Motion Swap' (animating photos from video references), AI Text-to-Video, and 'Auto Editing' which turns raw footage into highlight reels in seconds. While it offers a perpetual license, its '365' subscription is the only way to access the monthly AI credit allowance for generative tools.
