The simple guide

Which one should you choose?

If you are not sure, choose RVE SDK. Choose RVE Pro only when complete source-code ownership is a firm requirement.

Choose RVE SDK

Choose the SDK if you want to ship video editing and leave the core editor maintenance to us.

Choose it when

You want to launch in weeks, not spend months building an editor
You want new features and fixes packaged as npm updates
You do not want your team to maintain a large editor codebase
You want the current RVE architecture and active development

Know the trade-offs

You work through the SDK APIs instead of changing the core source
You need an active subscription to keep using the SDK

Choose RVE Pro

Choose Pro if owning every line of the application is more important than easy updates.

Choose it when

You need the complete Next.js source code
You want to change any part of the editor
You want full control of hosting and infrastructure
You want to keep the source version that you buy

Know the trade-offs

Your team owns editor maintenance and version drift
Your team must review and merge future template updates
New RVE features arrive on the SDK first

Why do we offer both?

From Sam, founder of RVE

RVE started as a source template. We built the SDK after customers asked for a maintained package that was easier to update. This founder note explains what changed and why both products remain.
