Woven Video - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Woven Video is desktop software for Mac users who edit their own footage and can add generated media. Each edit can start as a plain-language request in the chat or as a manual action on the multi-track timeline, and the two methods act on the same reel, so work done with one carries over to the other. Source files are kept in a workspace, a plain folder on disk.

The editor covers long-form and short-form work. Typical jobs range from a podcast or a YouTube video to a vertical Short or Reel, a product demo or an ad, on landscape, portrait, square or custom-size canvases. Clips can be arranged, trimmed, split, stacked as picture layers and sped up or slowed down. Shapes, drawing, masks, grouping and keyframes handle graphics and motion, and color controls include Saturation, Brightness, Contrast and Warmth plus four presets. Twelve native effects and a range of transitions are included, along with animated text.

Several steps are aimed at long recordings. Woven can identify highlight segments in a long video or podcast and trim each into a separate clip, strip pauses and filler words, and convert landscape footage to vertical. Captions use five modes: Highlight, Subtitle, Word by word, Word in place and Progressive reveal. They are part of the picture in the exported file. Audio work includes a library of 35 sound effects, trimming, splitting, volume control, and fades and ducks requested in chat.

Chat access depends on the plan: Woven's AI chat comes with Pro, while either plan can chat through a ChatGPT plan or from Claude Code and Codex. Caption generation and hosted generation of images, video, music, voiceover and sound effects draw on Woven credits, and connected providers are another route for generated media. An AI app on the same Mac, such as Claude Code or Codex, can connect to Woven's local MCP server and build videos with it. Output is H.264 MP4 at 1080p or 1440p.
