The editor below is live — it runs the Polotno SDK in your browser, the same way it would run inside your own app. Add a video, animate text and elements over it, set the timing on the timeline, then export an MP4.
How it's built
This is the standard Polotno editor with animations turned on and the side panel scoped to video. Turning animations on brings in the Videos and Animations panels and the timeline at the bottom; we then drop the stock Photos section so the whole surface reads as video, not stills:
- Videos — search stock clips or upload your own.
- Text and Elements — add them over the video and animate each one in and out.
- Timeline — set page duration and arrange when things appear.
- Export video — renders the design to an MP4 in the browser.
Adapting it to your product
- The interface — the side panel, toolbar, and timeline are ordinary React components. Show whichever sections fit your product and hide the rest.
- What's editable — you choose which elements customers can change and which stay fixed to your design.
- The output — a design is a single JSON object, so you can create or update it from code and render it to MP4, or to PNG, JPEG, PDF, or GIF, in the browser or on your server.
- The look — the editor is white-label, so this plain theme can be styled to match your brand.
Where it fits
A video editor like this suits short-form and social-video tools, ad and promo builders, and any product where customers assemble simple animated video from clips, text, and templates without leaving your app.
