AI video editor and screen recorder
LazyReel AI is a video editing and screen recording application designed for macOS 12 and later. The tool processes raw video footage into a finished edit that includes cuts, captions, B-roll, and music through an automated workflow. Rendering occurs locally on the user's Mac, while automation and AI processing are handled through a cloud-first system. The application was built by Pawan Kumar and is also available through Setapp. The editor provides several workflow options. Auto-Edit analyzes a recording, removes sections that waste time, and arranges the remaining material with visual and audio enhancements. Smart Edit, Viral Clips, and trailer or teaser generation are available as additional editing modes. Users can review and adjust the automated first cut in a local editing workspace with a full timeline editor. The tool also functions as a screen recorder, and includes a library of B-roll, memes, captions, and visualizers. The DreamLayer AI feature adds animations, and cloud AI services generate images, text, and clips. The application operates on a freemium model. The free plan includes five exports per month at 720p resolution with a watermark, access to the full editor, an offline-first workspace, and the option to bring a personal API key (BYOK) for unlimited AI generations at provider rates. Paid plans are available on a monthly or annual basis, with the annual plan billed at $120 per year and the monthly plan billed at $14.99 per month. Paid tiers include unlimited 4K exports without watermarks, all caption styles and visualizers, cloud AI without requiring an API key, early access to new features, and a locked price for annual subscribers. A seven-day refund policy applies to paid plans, and no credit card is required for the free tier.
