HD Live Video Editing
Anvato Live Video Editor provides a professional video editing experience: intuitive, precise, and quick. It lets editors select a show, cut out unwanted or unlicensed content, insert logos and transitions, and adjust the audio. Editors can also easily set up ad slots for web-targeted video monetization. Anvato Live Video Editor includes productivity features not found in any other system, such as Closed Caption Navigation and enhanced Video Auto Segmenter. Auto-Segmenter uses our patented machine vision technology to detect ads, scene changes or video chapters and intelligently split the video clip into logical sub-clips.
