Overview
Movie Maker Edit, Web Edition is free. It runs in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, iPad or Android, with no install, no account, no watermark and no export limit.
Point it at the folder your clips are in. Press Autoproduce. It reads every clip, puts them in order, sets the transitions, renders the movie, levels the sound to a steady volume and reports what it produced at every stage. It writes its state before each one, so a run that stops picks up where it left off rather than starting over, and Cancel stops the work in flight rather than after the current stage finishes. Everything runs on your own device and your footage never leaves it.
The editor underneath needs no key at all: import clips in any format, trim with resealed cuts, set blur or hard cut transitions, keep, replace or mix the soundtrack, choose resolution and aspect ratio, preview, and export one MP4 or MOV. Exports run across every processor core and the audio is levelled automatically to −16 LUFS so the whole movie plays at one volume. Every film lives in one folder with your clips untouched and exports, projects, soundtrack and reviews beside them.
Add your own xAI or Google key and five AI features switch on. AI Review of Clips watches each clip and names the broken ones, so you regenerate them before the render rather than finding out on a big screen. AI Review of Movie scores your finished cut and says what to fix. Transcription returns word-level timings and speaker labels as SRT or WebVTT. Spoken voice reads any line you type in one of five voices. Add Captions burns them into the picture in five styles. A whole feature comes to under $1.00 in API token usage, and every job quotes its price before it sends anything.
When you are ready for longer work, Movie Maker Edit Pro, Desktop Edition, is $149.99 once, in the Microsoft Store and on Gumroad and Lemon Squeezy. The difference is what it runs on. A browser tab encodes in WebAssembly and holds the whole movie in memory, so exports run in hours and long films stop where that memory stops. Pro drives native FFmpeg straight into the hardware encoder on your NVIDIA, Intel or AMD card and streams to disk instead of RAM, so exports finish in minutes and films run to 150 minutes and past 20GB. Both share the same project format, so a movie you start in a browser finishes in Pro.
Fifteen numbered steps, each ticking green as you go. Original soundtracks come from Lyric Remix Studio.

THE DEMO VIDEO YOU SEE HERE, BASIL, IS A 2 HOUR 59 MINUTE MOVIE MADE FROM 950 GROK IMAGINE CLIPS. It takes place in 2026 through 2116 and follows Mira and Amos through ninety years of technological change and how the changes affect them, their friends and their families. Produced in Movie Maker Studio Pro v7.3.5, the movie was made on an ordinary laptop computer. The story opens on a treatment anyone can walk into a pharmacy in 2026 and ask for, reaches 2073 and the first crossing, when a person is copied into substrate, and ends in the year 2116 when after the discovery of zero-point energy and gravity propulsion enables humanity to reach the stars.
