From raw footage to a finished video.
Xanora is a video editor for people who shoot and edit on their own. Timeline, preview, effects, subtitles and export — every everyday task has its place in the window. No account in the app, no cloud, no telemetry.

How Xanora works
Visible and reversible from import to export
Nothing is overwritten
An edit is a record in the project, not a change to your media. Source files stay untouched where they are.
Preview is the export
Cuts, keyframes and export share one timeline — what you see in the preview is what ends up in the file.
No cloud
You need neither an internet connection nor an account to edit. Media and projects stay on your disk.
Features
Everything a finished video needs
A layout you know from everyday editors: library, preview, inspector and timeline.
Media and library
Drop files into the library — Xanora reads resolution, frame rate and duration and shows thumbnails.
Timeline editing
Trim, split, move and ripple with snapping. Multiple video and audio tracks, keyframes on transform, opacity and volume.
Audio
Volume envelope, crossfades, music beats on the timeline and a one-click “keep speech only” that removes the silences.
Subtitles from speech
Speech-to-subtitles right on your computer (Whisper) — the recording never leaves it. Custom styles, search in spoken words and text-based editing.
Transitions
A catalogue of transitions between clips — from dissolves to wave or mosaic. A new transition is a data file, not a new app version.
Effects and colour
Filters, chroma key, LUTs, stabilisation and reframing for vertical formats.
Instant Mode
An edit template picks the best shots, cuts to the music and fades the music out at the end. Every automatic edit can be undone.
Export and sharing
Export presets including 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5, progress you can cancel and upload to YouTube straight from the export window.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why do I need to sign up to download?
We give preview releases to people we can reach — if a serious bug turns up, we can write to you. The app itself needs no account and sends nothing about you.
Is Xanora finished?
Current releases are previews. The editor core works from import to export; newer features are still being tested on real footage. Please let us know about any bug you find.
Do I need an internet connection?
Not for editing. You need it to download the app, once to download the model the first time you transcribe speech, and to upload a finished video to YouTube if you want to.
Windows says “Windows protected your PC”.
The installer is not code-signed yet. Click “More info” and then “Run anyway”. You can verify the file with the SHA-256 checksum shown next to the download button.
macOS says the app can’t be opened.
The app is signed but not notarised by Apple. The first time, right-click it, choose “Open” and confirm.
How do I install the Android version?
Download the .apk on your phone and open it. The phone will ask you to allow installing apps from the browser — that is normal for installs outside Google Play.
