If you want to build a video editor application quickly, you can purchase pre-built editor templates and components rather than building everything from scratch. Here are the available options:

Editor Starter by Remotion

The official template by Remotion that provides a comprehensive video editor foundation.

This is the editor built by the Remotion team and includes the best practices recommended by us. It features:

  • Zoomable timeline with drag and drop, multiple selection, thumbnails, waveforms
  • Interactive canvas allowing moving and resizing layers with inline text editing
  • Uploading assets to S3 and local caching
  • Rich font support with Google Fonts
  • Captioning with OpenAI Whisper
  • Rendering with Remotion Lambda

Timeline component by Remotion

A minimal timeline interface component that follows all of Remotion's best practices and recommendations.

Features:

  • Playhead
  • Resizable, moveable layers
  • Create and move tracks
  • Filmstrip video thumbnails

This is recommended if you need just the timeline functionality and want to build the rest of your editor around it.
