Edit → tag → schedule → publish — one browser tab
Byvano’s video editor runs in the browser. Drop in up to ten clips, trim each one, add text overlays and a music track, pick an aspect ratio for the destination you have in mind, and press Export. The finished file lands in your Byvano media library ready to schedule, tag with products and publish — no round-trip through Canva, CapCut or Premiere.
Free plan available. No credit card required.
Byvano’s video editor is a browser-based editor built into the dashboard, designed for ecommerce short-form content. It lets a merchant arrange up to ten clips on a single timeline, trim each clip, add up to twelve text overlays, drop in a music track from the free library or an upload, pick a cover frame, and render the final video in 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9. The final render runs on the server through FFmpeg, not in the browser, so the output quality does not depend on the merchant’s laptop. The editor is in the same tab as the scheduler and the product-tagging interface, which is the point: the clip you edit is already connected to the catalogue you sell and the calendar you publish from.
Most online video editors were built for one of two audiences. The first is amateur content creators making birthday montages — the market CapCut, InShot and VN serve, with heavy filter presets, lip-sync templates and TikTok transitions. The second is film and marketing agencies — the market Premiere, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut serve, with keyframe animation and professional color grading. Neither was designed for a Shopify store running its own social content, which is why ecommerce teams end up stitching three tools together: an editor to make the video, a scheduler to publish it, and a separate app to put it on the product page.
The three-tool workflow has a specific tax, and it is not time. It is that the three tools do not know about each other. The editor does not know which Reel aspect ratio a scheduler expects, so you re-export. The scheduler does not know which products the clip features, so you tag them again on the storefront. The storefront app does not know which clips performed, so you guess which Reel to feature on the collection page. Each handoff loses a little information, and the compounded loss is why most ecommerce social video stays on social and never gets to the product page.
Byvano’s editor is built the other way round. It is a short-form editor — the feature set is deliberately narrower than Premiere’s — and it ships inside the tool that already schedules your posts and runs your shoppable widget. The clip you finish in the editor is the clip the scheduler publishes and the clip the widget plays. Nothing re-exports, re-uploads, re-tags.
Written straight. Here is the feature set as it stands, not a roadmap. If a thing is not on this list, Byvano does not do it yet.
Up to ten video clips arranged in order on one timeline, each with its own in-point, out-point and mute setting. Clips come from your Byvano media library or a fresh upload — MP4, MOV, M4V or WebM.
Up to twelve text overlays per project. Four font families, three background styles (none, box, pill), full color control, free position inside the frame, and per-overlay timing so a caption can appear on one clip and disappear on the next.
A built-in library of royalty-free tracks, plus uploads of your own in MP3, M4A, AAC, WAV, OGG, Opus or FLAC. Each project has one music track; set an offset, loop it, and the render mixes it under the video audio at the level you choose.
9:16 (1080×1920) for Reels, Stories and Shorts; 1:1 (1080×1080) for feed-square; 4:5 (1080×1350) for Instagram feed portrait; 16:9 (1920×1080) for YouTube and Facebook landscape. Switching preset reflows every overlay and clip — you are not re-cropping by hand.
Scrub the preview to the frame you want as the thumbnail, click Pick cover. The render exports that frame as a JPEG alongside the video for the scheduler to use.
When you press Export, the project goes into a render queue and is cut by FFmpeg on our servers, not in the browser tab. A background worker writes the final MP4 to your library. Closing the tab is safe; you get a notification when it is done. A merchant on a Chromebook gets the same output quality as a merchant on an M3 MacBook.
Published promises are easier to keep than retracted ones, so here is the honest boundary. These features are on the roadmap and will be announced as they ship.
Transitions between clips beyond a hard cut. No crossfade, dip-to-black or zoom transition today — if you need one, add it before you import.
AI features. No text-to-image, text-to-video, auto-caption from speech, or AI background removal yet. Auto-captions from Whisper is the next feature in testing.
A stock media library. Pexels and Pixabay integration is scheduled; for now you bring your own footage.
Collaborative editing. Projects are single-merchant today. Multi-seat and version history are in the roadmap after the AI features.
Upload from your device, or pull from your connected Instagram, YouTube or TikTok account. Byvano stores a copy in your media library so the originals are never touched.
Drop clips onto the timeline, trim with the handles, drop text wherever it should appear, add a music track. The preview renders live at low quality in the tab; the final version is cut at full quality server-side.
Scrub to the thumbnail frame. Switch between 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 and 16:9 and watch every overlay reposition itself. Export writes the file into your library.
Open Product tagging, pick the exported video, search your Shopify or WooCommerce catalogue and click products to tag them. A single clip can carry a whole outfit or a cross-sell set.
Open the scheduler, attach the clip to a composed post, pick one or several destinations (Facebook Pages, Instagram Business or Creator accounts, YouTube channels) and a time. Byvano publishes through the official APIs at the scheduled minute.
The same clip can be added to a carousel, grid, stories or floating widget on Shopify or WooCommerce. The Reel that earned attention on social is now selling on the product page it was made for.
A short, honest comparison against the three editors ecommerce teams actually run today. Byvano is a short-form editor, not a replacement for Premiere — the comparison matters mostly for Canva and CapCut, which are the realistic alternatives.
Canva Video is a capable short-form editor with a strong template library, a stock-media integration and a growing set of AI features (text-to-image for backgrounds, AI caption generation). Byvano is narrower: no templates, no stock library, no AI generation — yet. The two things Byvano does and Canva does not are direct publish to your Facebook Page, Instagram Business account and YouTube channel from the same tab, and shoppable product tagging on the clip you just exported. If Canva is where you build and a scheduler is where you publish, Byvano collapses that into one surface.
CapCut is a free mobile-first editor with the deepest effect library of any short-form tool — trending transitions, templates, licensed music, AI cutouts. For creative experimentation it is the state of the art. Byvano is a web editor on a laptop, with the ecommerce workflow attached to it. If your bottleneck is shipping consistent product-centric video on a schedule, Byvano wins; if your bottleneck is matching a trend that broke on TikTok yesterday, CapCut wins and you import the finished video into Byvano for tagging and publishing.
InShot and VN are mobile-first editors optimised for a single clip at a time. Byvano is a web editor optimised for a small team editing on a laptop and publishing on a calendar. If one person on a phone is your whole social workflow, you probably do not need Byvano’s editor — use InShot for cutting and import the result. If a brand manager coordinates posts across Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, the editor-plus-scheduler-plus-shoppable loop in Byvano removes the three re-exports a day the mobile stack costs.
The editor is included on every Byvano plan, including the Free plan. During the launch offer every feature is free until 31 December 2026 with no credit card required — that is the editor, the scheduler, the shoppable video widget and the analytics.
There is no per-minute render fee and no watermark on the exported file. After the launch offer, the Free plan continues and the editor stays on it; paid plans start at $29/month and unlock higher asset counts rather than editor features.
Yes. The editor is included on every plan, including the Free plan. During the launch offer every feature is free until 31 December 2026 with no credit card. There is no watermark on the exported file and no per-render charge.
No. The editor runs in a browser tab inside the Byvano dashboard. The final cut is rendered on our servers with FFmpeg, so the output quality does not depend on your device — a merchant on a Chromebook gets the same file as a merchant on a MacBook.
9:16 for Reels, Stories and Shorts (1080×1920), 1:1 for feed-square (1080×1080), 4:5 for Instagram feed portrait (1080×1350), and 16:9 for YouTube and Facebook landscape (1920×1080). Switching aspect ratio reflows every overlay and clip without hand re-cropping.
Up to ten video clips on a single timeline, each with its own trim and mute setting, plus up to twelve text overlays and one music track. The ten-clip ceiling exists to keep render times under a minute for the typical short-form social post.
Not yet. Transitions between clips are hard cuts today, there are no filter presets, and no text-to-image, text-to-video or auto-caption AI. Auto-captions from Whisper is the next feature in testing. Honest roadmap: AI features ship in phases and will be announced as they land.
Yes, from the same dashboard. Export the clip, attach it to a scheduled post, pick one or several destinations, and Byvano publishes through the official Graph and YouTube APIs at the scheduled time. Nothing is uploaded by hand.
Yes. After export, open Product tagging, pick the clip, and search your Shopify or WooCommerce catalogue by product name or SKU. Tag as many products as the clip shows; each tag carries its own timing and position. The tagged clip then renders inside a shoppable widget on your storefront.
Video: MP4, MOV, M4V or WebM. The server re-encodes the final export to H.264 MP4 so Instagram, Facebook and YouTube all accept it without a second pass. Music: MP3, M4A, AAC, WAV, OGG, Opus or FLAC.
Not for every workflow. If your edits lean on Canva’s templates or CapCut’s trending transitions and AI effects, keep using them for the edit and import the finished clip into Byvano for tagging, scheduling and the shoppable widget. If your edits are trim-and-caption short-form on a laptop, Byvano’s editor does the whole loop in one tool and you lose the re-export round-trips.
Nothing bad. The render runs server-side in a background worker; the browser tab is only there to design the edit. Close it, come back later, and the finished clip is in your media library waiting for you.
