    Start from a placeholder-based template and swap in your footage, text, and brand colors in seconds. Power users can fill hundreds of videos at once with a CSV upload or REST API. See also the photo video maker.

  • Screen and Camera Recorder

    Record your screen, webcam, or microphone directly in the browser and drop the recording onto the timeline immediately. No third-party capture software needed.

How it works

How to make a video online

Four steps from blank timeline to finished, shareable video.

  1. Upload or Record Your Media

    Drag in video clips, photos, audio files, or record directly from your screen or camera. EchoWave accepts the most common formats and places everything in your asset panel instantly.

  2. Arrange, Edit, and Enhance

    Trim, split, reorder, and layer clips on the multi-track timeline. Add AI captions, a voiceover, text overlays, music, transitions, and effects. Adjust speed, crop, or resize as needed.

  3. Preview at Full Quality

    Hit play to preview your finished video with all effects, captions, and audio in sync before committing to an export. Scrub the timeline to check any frame.

  4. Export and Share

    Export as MP4 up to 4K resolution. The free plan includes a small watermark; upgrading removes it and raises the resolution cap. Download the file and post it to any platform.

Video maker FAQ

What is a video maker?

A video maker is a browser-based tool that lets you combine photos, video clips, audio, text, and effects into a finished video without installing software. EchoWave's video maker runs entirely in your browser and exports directly to MP4.

Is EchoWave's video maker really free?

Yes. You can create, edit, and export videos for free. The free plan adds a small watermark to exports. Upgrading to a paid plan removes the watermark and unlocks 4K resolution exports.

Can I make a video from photos and music?

Yes. Upload your photos and an audio file, arrange them on the timeline, set the duration of each photo, and export. You can also add animated text titles, transitions between photos, and AI-generated captions over the top.

How do I add captions or subtitles automatically?

Open the Captions tool, click Generate, and EchoWave transcribes your audio using AI. You get editable captions with over 160 style presets including karaoke word-by-word highlighting. You can also translate captions to another language from the same panel.

What video formats does EchoWave support?

EchoWave accepts common upload formats including MP4, MOV, WebM, and standard image formats like JPG and PNG. It exports finished videos as MP4 (H.264). GIF and WebM output are also available through the convert tools.

Can I record my screen or camera directly in the tool?

Yes. The built-in recorder lets you capture your screen, webcam feed, or microphone audio without leaving the browser. The recording drops straight onto your timeline for immediate editing.

What is the difference between the video maker and the video editor?

The video editor is focused on modifying existing footage (trimming, cutting, cropping, merging). The video maker is a creation-first hub for starting from scratch: combining photos, clips, templates, voiceovers, music visualizers, and AI captions into a new video.

Can I make a music visualizer or audiogram video?

Yes. EchoWave includes a dedicated music visualizer and audiogram creator that animates your audio as FFT spectrum bars, waveform lines, or lyric-video overlays, all synced frame-accurately to the audio waveform.

Do I need to create an account to use the video maker?

You can open the editor and start working immediately. Saving your project and exporting requires a free account. EchoWave is operated by Lemon Vault LLC and your files are processed securely on dedicated render servers.
