FlexClip is a browser video editor for almost any kind of video: ads, slideshows, intros, birthdays and more. Filmagic does one job: launch videos for apps, SaaS and AI products. Both run in the browser, but you spend your time very differently.

> **The short version:** choose FlexClip if you want a cheap, general editor with a huge template library and you are happy to build the launch video yourself. Choose Filmagic if you want a launch trailer in your brand, written and cut for you from your product link.

## How each one works

**FlexClip** is an online video editor. You pick one of thousands of templates or start blank, then add your footage, text, music and stock media on a timeline. It includes a screen and webcam recorder and AI tools such as text to video and text to speech. The free plan exports at 720p with a watermark.

**Filmagic** starts from your product link. It reads your site for your name, tagline, colours, fonts, logo and screens, writes the scenes and cuts the film to music. Templates are made for product launches, and one edit exports 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1.
