Editing video used to mean installing heavy software, waiting for renders, and fighting with a complex timeline. Not anymore. REQO is a browser-based video editor that lets you trim, cut, add music, generate captions, and share — all from a single browser tab.

Why Edit in Your Browser?

Browser-based editing has three major advantages: no installation, no rendering waits, and works on any operating system. Your video lives in the cloud, your edits are instant, and sharing is just a link.

How to Edit Video Online with REQO

  1. Record or upload: Record your screen directly in REQO, or upload an existing MP4 or WebM file.
  2. Trim the start and end: Drag the timeline handles to remove the awkward pauses at the beginning and end of your recording.
  3. Cut mistakes: Use the transcript — highlight the words you want to remove and delete them. The video cut happens instantly.
  4. Add music: Upload a background track or choose from the built-in library. Set the volume so it sits under your narration.
  5. Generate captions: REQO auto-transcribes your audio. Review the captions, adjust timing if needed, and burn them in.
  6. Export and share: Download as MP4 or get a shareable cloud link instantly.

What You Can Edit

  • Screen recordings
  • Webcam footage
  • Uploaded MP4 files
  • Any combination of the above on a multi-track timeline
