A video editor that allows to edit (trim, crop, rotate and scale) and choose a cover with a very flexible UI design.
The library provides some tools to execute the exportation but does not handle it.
This library is written in Dart only but uses external packages such as video_thumbnail, which makes it available only on iOS and Android plaforms for now (web support is currently in progress).
Note If you use a version between (1.2.3 and 2.4.0) your project might be subject to a GPL license.
| Android | iOS | |
|---|---|---|
| Support | SDK 16+ | 11.0+ |
Following steps will help you add this library as a dependency in your flutter project.

Starting from version 3.0.0, the video_editor package no longer includes ffmpeg_kit_flutter.
- The inclusion of ffmpeg_kit_flutter binary in this package caused numerous issues for users who intended to utilize a different instance of FFmpeg within the same project (#37, #129, #153).
- Additionally, it came to my attention that the video_editor package may have been mis-licensed and subject to the GPL v3.0 license since version 1.2.3, when it began utilizing the ffmpeg_kit_flutter_min_kit binary.
- Lastly, the FFmpeg package is quite large and significantly increases the app size, which is not ideal for developers seeking to handle exportation in a different way.
