Drift
by CutWire Studios
Edit and export videos easily
About
Drift is a free desktop video editor that feels simple from the first cut. Drop in video, photos, and music, add effects and stickers, generate captions automatically, and export — no subscription, no watermark, and no account required.
Great for social videos, explainers, and everyday projects. Cut subjects out of a frame, animate to the beat, style text and shapes, then add fonts and stickers only when you need them.
What you get:
- Multi-track timeline — trim, split, snap, and undo as you go
- Effects, transitions, and reusable look templates
- Stickers, emoji, titles, and shapes for a finished look
- Auto captions from speech in your video
- Cut out subjects, mask clips, and key out green screens
- Speed changes, reverse playback, and fades
- Animate to the beat of your music
- Mix audio and clean up background noise
- Optional addons for fonts, stickers, and extras
- Project bundles that keep your media together
