If you are evaluating why to use React Video Editor, start here. This hub groups the most useful paths for teams building SaaS workflows, browser-based editors, and timeline-heavy video experiences in React.
React Video Editor gives your users a real timeline, asset uploads, trimming, text, overlays, live preview, and exports inside your app.
React Video Editor renders video from code, giving AI models the perfect handshake for generating scenes, timelines, text, and motion. Users get an editable project they can inspect, adjust, preview, and export from one continuous workflow.
Use RVE as the foundation for AI ad makers that need video baked into the design workflow, from prompt and product URL to editable, brand-ready ads.
Give creators the tools to turn scripts, clips, voiceovers, captions, and templates into finished YouTube videos without leaving your product.
Teams are using RVE to own their video software, customize it around the way they work, and help marketing, content, support, and sales produce on-brand videos faster.
Let customers or teammates generate polished videos from locked templates, swapping text, media, and data, while your brand rules stay fully protected.
Every use case above is a real product you can build on React Video Editor. The same editor gives you the timeline, uploads, overlays, captions, and rendering that power all of them. You decide how much of the editor your users see, from a fully embedded studio to a locked, one-click template.
Choose the right plan for your project, whether you're building a personal project, launching a startup, or scaling an enterprise application.

Laria wanted to build an AI studio inside their app where users could generate ads from a prompt and reference image, then edit and customise the result. They used RVE as the foundation for the editor, supporting both static and video ads.
ShotGlass created a macOS screen recorder that turns raw captures into polished product demos with edits, zooms, backgrounds and annotations. RVE provided the editing foundation, so the app could focus on the recording experience.
Get answers to common questions about React Video Editor and how it can help accelerate your development process.
Because building a production ready video editor is far harder, and far more expensive than most teams expect. Most people start thinking they just need a timeline and a renderer, but then they run into browser memory issues, playback desync, rendering pipelines, uploads, trimming logic, captions, exports, cloud rendering, media processing, performance problems, and suddenly months disappear.
Even with the latest AI models, you still end up owning and maintaining a huge amount of complex infrastructure. That's usually the hidden cost. It's not just building the editor, it's supporting it long term once real users start uploading large projects and expecting everything to work reliably.
React Video Editor gives your team a foundation that's already been through those problems so instead of burning engineering time rebuilding infrastructure, you can focus on the part of the product that actually makes you different.
Very quickly. Once React Video Editor is installed, you immediately have a production-ready video editor running inside your app. Most teams have the editor integrated and working within a morning, then it becomes about tailoring the experience around your workflow, product, and users.
The Editor is modular, so teams can start simple and gradually expand over time as the product grows.
Speed, but more importantly avoiding expensive engineering dead ends.
You could absolutely build a video editor internally. Many teams try. The problem is the maintenance burden slowly becomes its own full-time project. Rendering issues, browser limitations, uploads, media processing, timeline performance, exports, infrastructure scaling, it never really stops.
React Video Editor gives your team a massive head start with a foundation that's actively maintained and improving every month. At the very least, you can be confident the editor works properly and won't quietly consume months of engineering time trying to support it internally.
For most teams, it ends up dramatically cheaper than building and maintaining everything themselves.
React Video Editor supports multiple rendering approaches depending on your product and infrastructure.
Client-side rendering runs directly in the browser using WebCodecs which is great for fast exports, lower infrastructure costs, and simpler setups.
For larger workloads or production-scale rendering, you can use server-side or AWS Lambda rendering. A lot of teams end up using a mix depending on the workflow they're building.
We also help customers choose the right rendering architecture based on their product, scale, export requirements, and infrastructure goals because there's no single "correct" setup for every team.
Yes - that's one of the main reasons teams use it. You can customize the UI, hide features, change workflows, apply your own branding, and shape the editor around your product.
Some teams use the SDK as a lightweight editing layer while others build fully custom AI video products and workflows on top of it.
Yes. Some teams want the managed SDK experience while others need full source access for deeper customization, internal tooling, or compliance requirements.
We offer both.
For teams that need the source version, we also offer deeper integration support where we work directly with your team on architecture, rendering infrastructure, customization, and implementation strategy. That side is typically handled as a integration partnership depending on the level of involvement needed.
RVE Pro was the original version of React Video Editor. It's a full Next.js source code template that gives teams complete ownership and flexibility from day one.
A lot of early customers loved that approach, especially teams wanting to deeply customize everything, but over time we kept seeing the same problem appear. As customers modified the codebase heavily, staying in sync with new versions became difficult. Updates got painful, projects drifted, and eventually teams were maintaining large parts of the editor themselves.
That feedback is ultimately why we built the SDK.
The SDK gives teams the same core editor experience, but as a managed component library delivered through npm. Updates are far easier, integrations are cleaner, and teams don't end up fighting version drift six months later.
RVE Pro is still available, but over time the two products have drifted quite a bit. The SDK has become significantly more mature and is where all active development, new features, rendering improvements, and infrastructure work now land first.
Most teams choose the SDK because they want to move fast without taking on the long-term maintenance burden of owning the full editor codebase themselves.
Every customer gets email support directly from our engineering team. For customers building larger products or deeper integrations, we also work closely through Slack, Teams, shared channels, and ongoing collaboration depending on the engagement.
A big part of React Video Editor is helping teams navigate the complexity around rendering, infrastructure, scaling, and architecture decisions, not just handing over a package and disappearing.
