About the app

What is FilmCraft?

FilmCraft is a free, open-source non-linear video editor for people who know Premiere Pro: the same panels, workspaces, tools and shortcuts. Underneath, it is new from the bitstream up — written in Rust by the ArtCraft team, with its own H.264, HEVC, ProRes and AAC codecs and no FFmpeg inside.

It is alpha software. Its authors estimate about 86% of Premiere Pro’s features exist and that it is roughly 56% ready for real projects. Premiere .prproj files cannot be opened yet, there are no plug-ins, and big footage is still slower than in Premiere.

FilmCraft is one of the Crafting Apps, alongside VectorCraft, the free Illustrator alternative.

FilmCraft FAQ

Is FilmCraft free?

Yes. FilmCraft is free, open-source software (MIT or Apache-2.0), and this page lets you use its web version without paying, installing anything or creating an account.

Can FilmCraft open Premiere Pro projects?

Not directly: .prproj files cannot be opened yet. Export the sequence from Premiere as Final Cut Pro 7 XML, AAF or OpenTimelineIO and import that into FilmCraft.

Does FilmCraft use FFmpeg?

No. Its H.264, HEVC, ProRes, AAC and Opus codecs and the containers are its own Rust code, written from the public specifications and tested frame by frame against FFmpeg as a reference.

Is my video uploaded when I edit online?

No. The editor runs in your browser; footage you import is read locally and exports download to your computer. Large projects run better in the desktop app.

Is FilmCraft ready to replace Premiere Pro?

Not yet for most professional work. It is alpha: its authors estimate about 56% readiness for real projects, with speed on big footage, Premiere project import and plug-ins among the biggest gaps.

Is this the official FilmCraft website?

No. FilmCraft is made by the ArtCraft team (getartcraft.com). This is an independent page that hosts the unmodified official web build.
