mebm is a browser based video editor that supports animation of images and text overlays. The animation is done with key-frames (denoted in blue on the timeline) and linear interpolation.

The design values simplicity and rudimentary functionality over a full feature set.

  • space to pause/play
  • select layers to manipulate them (click on the timeline or sidebar)
    • shift + scroll or pinch to zoom text and images
    • drag to move them
    • arrow keys to jump between keypoints
    • backspace to remove keypoints
  • import
    • by dragging in videos images or audio files
    • by clicking "+ media"
    • by pasting URLs to hosted media (only some domains)
  • export by clicking "export"
    • let video play to completion
    • click "download" to grab a copy (.webm)
