When you purchase React Video Editor, you’ll get access to a private GitHub repository containing the full source code for the latest version of the editor. The main solution is built in Next.js and includes a fully functional, pre-built video editor component that you can integrate straight into your app. We also offer a Vite-based version, which is currently available by invite as we continue developing it.
You’ll receive 12 months of updates and support with the Solo Developer plan, plus detailed documentation and a clear setup flow to help you get started quickly. For teams or companies needing longer-term support, SLAs, or custom licensing, we also offer an Enterprise plan.
Super straightforward. React Video Editor is built as a full Next.js app, so you can drop it into your project without much setup. If you're using Vite, we've also got a Vite version in the works - available privately for now while we refine it.
Integration takes a few minutes. The editor's modular layout makes it easy to customize, whether you're changing the UI, adding features, or just getting it to match your existing app.
It saves you a massive amount of time. Building a video editor from scratch is hard - it takes weeks, if not months. React Video Editor gives you a full-featured, production-ready setup you can use straight away. Teams love it because it saves them from rebuilding the same thing over and over. You also get updates, and if you're a customer, your feedback can shape what features come next.
Yep, with the Solo Developer plan, you'll get 12 months of updates included with your purchase. That covers all improvements, new features, and fixes we ship during that time. After that, the license is still yours to keep and use forever, you just won't receive new updates unless you renew.
React Video Editor comes set up to work with Remotion Lambda out of the box, that's our recommended approach for production since it handles heavy rendering in the cloud. You'll need to plug in your own AWS credentials, but we include clear docs to walk you through it. That said, you're not locked into Lambda. We also support SSR rendering with Next.js, which is great for local development or lightweight use cases.
Yes, since the React Video Editor is built on top of Remotion, you'll need to comply with Remotion's licensing terms. The good news is that Remotion is free for individuals, non-profits, and small teams (up to 3 employees). For larger organizations, you will need to acquire a Remotion company license. This is separate from your React Video Editor purchase, but we've designed our solution to be incredibly cost-effective even when factoring in both licenses.
Yes, the React Video Editor is highly customizable. Built on React and utilizing Tailwind CSS, you can easily adjust the look and feel to match your project's design. Additionally, the component-based architecture allows for easy extension and modification of functionality to suit your specific requirements.
The standard plan comes with email support - but honestly, most of the time it's me (Sam, the guy who built this 👋 ) replying directly. I regularly chat with customers to help with setup, answer questions, and sometimes even brainstorm features together. It's actually one of the parts I enjoy most.
So yep, real support from a real person who genuinely wants to see you succeed.
