Enable video editing functions such as trimming, cutting, and merging video and audio files, adding music or subtitle track, and more with JavaScript video editing libraries.


With these libraries, you can build standalone video editing applications for smartphones, desktops, and the web. Or add video editing capabilities to any software application directly through the code. The APIs and SDKs available in ReactJS video editor libraries can help developers build applications to work across different network conditions globally for iOS, and Android platforms. Moreover, with the NodeJS video editor libraries, you can add features like AI noise cancellation to filter out background noise, automatically optimize the aspect ratio, bandwidth, and framerate of different video sources, etc.


Check out the below list to find more trending JavaScript video editing libraries for your applications:
