Free AI video editor · Editable motion · Mac & Windows

Ideas in.
Animated video out.

Huko runs your whole edit as one job — script, motion, voiceover, captions, transitions — and hands back a publish-ready Reel or Short. Every motion graphic it makes stays editable down to the keyframe, and every character you design is saved once and reused in every project after.

What is Huko?

Huko is a free AI video editor for Mac and Windows that turns ideas, scripts and raw footage into fully animated, publish-ready videos. Unlike online AI video makers, Huko is desktop AI video editing software — rendering is fast, your media stays on your machine, and captions are generated right on your computer instead of being uploaded to the cloud. And nothing it generates is locked: every motion graphic opens as an editable clip with its own timeline and keyframes, and every character you design is saved to a library you reuse across projects.

Is it free?
Yes — free to download on macOS and Windows, with 100 credits, no watermark, and every editing and export feature unlocked.
Can I edit what the AI makes?
Yes. Generated animations arrive as editable motion graphics — element timeline, keyframes, version history — not as a baked video file.
Can I make my own characters?
Yes. The character creator lets you shape one part by part, then save it under a name.
Can I reuse them?
Yes. Saved characters and clips are on the shelf of every project you open afterwards, and reopening one never costs a credit.

Features

The whole edit, automated

Huko isn't a filter pack on a timeline. It's a full AI motion pipeline — from idea to render — that leaves every frame under your control.

01

Submit an idea. Collect a video.

The whole edit runs as one job — script, animated scenes, voiceover, captions, music, render. What comes back is a publish-ready Reel, not a draft.

02

Fully animated, end to end

Every beat is generated as moving footage or motion graphics that flow together as one continuous shot — six consistent art styles, characters that hold shot to shot.

03

Editable motion graphics

Nothing arrives baked. Each generated animation opens as an editable clip with its own element timeline and keyframes — retime, restyle or replace any motion.

See the motion editor
04

Design your own characters

Shape a character instead of prompting for one: head shape, build, 12 hair cuts, colours, line weight, and props you pin to the head or body so they move with it.

Meet the character creator
05

Your cast, in every project

Save a character by name and it is on the shelf of every project afterwards — including the ones you have not started. Keep up to 60 and open new projects as your own.

How reuse works
06

Change once, changes everywhere

Restyle a character and the walk, the wave and the jump all follow — in the clip on screen and in every clip already on your timeline. No re-editing the same figure twice.

07

Surgical AI edits

Say “make this feel heavier” and the AI changes exactly that one element — everything else in your design stays exactly as you left it.

08

Captions & voiceover, automatic

Speech becomes word-synced karaoke captions in 12 reveal styles, with no manual timing. AI narration comes from a browsable voice library, and every visual lands exactly on the words.

09

Publish-ready output

One-click presets for TikTok, Reels, Shorts and YouTube — MP4, MOV, WebM or GIF up to 4K, exported in a fraction of the time the video runs.

Editable motion graphics

Generated, not locked

Most AI video makers hand you a baked MP4. Huko hands you a project — every AI motion graphic is a clip you can open, retime and reshape, down to the individual keyframe.

~30 seconds to a motion graphic

Describe an animation and get a fully editable animated clip back in about half a minute — no video file to unpick, nothing baked in.

A dedicated motion editor

Open any generated clip in its own editor: element timeline, drag, resize, trim, and version history for every change.

Keyframe anything

Animate any property frame by frame, and pick from 30 entrances, 13 idle loops and 23 exits — so everything on screen moves with the same polish.

Data-driven elements

Compose scenes from text, shapes, animated counters, progress bars and rings, and cycling image sliders — all individually editable.

Extend a clip in one click

Ask for two more scenes, or append one from the built-in collections without spending a credit. Either way it lands in the clip’s own history and undoes in one step.

Character creator

Build a character once. Use it everywhere.

Most AI video tools re-roll a new stranger every time you press generate. In Huko a character is something you draw, name and keep — and the one you made last month is already waiting in the project you start today.

01

Shaped, not prompted

Head shape, body build, line weight, colours, 12 hair cuts — and a switch for every part, from the collar and tie down to the feet. You are drawing a character, not re-rolling a prompt until one looks close.

02

Props that move with them

Add a hat, a badge, a tool, a logo. Pin it to the head and it follows a nod and a tilt; pin it to the body and it follows a lean and a bob. It stays attached through every action.

03

Change once, changes everywhere

Give a character a rounder head and the walk, the wave and the jump all get it — in the clip on screen and in the twelve already on your timeline. There is no version of your character to keep in sync.

04

A cast, not a one-off

Name a character and it is saved. Up to 60 of them, ready to drop into any clip — and one can be the character every new project opens with.

Save & reuse

A library that follows you

Characters and motion clips you save do not belong to the project you made them in. They belong to you — so the tenth video starts from everything the first nine built.

  • 60characters in your saved cast
  • 200motion clips on your shelf
  • 7motion collections built in
  • 0credits to reuse any of it
  • Saved once, on every shelf after

    Characters and motion clips you save belong to the app, not to the project you made them in. Every project you open from then on has them — including projects that do not exist yet.

  • Reopening never costs a credit

    A saved clip drops onto the timeline offline, with no account check and no balance spent. Credits are only for generating something new.

  • Reused, still fully editable

    What lands from your shelf is an ordinary clip — it trims, moves, joins a row, opens in the motion editor and exports exactly like a freshly generated one. Nothing is a sealed sticker.

  • Seven collections built in

    Action, combat, martial arts, side-on travel, comparisons and multi-beat sequences ship with Huko. One click, offline, free on every plan.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What is Huko?

Huko is a free AI video editor for Mac and Windows. You describe the video you want — or drop in your own footage — and Huko runs the whole edit as one job: it writes the script, generates fully animated scenes, records an AI voiceover, adds word-synced captions, transitions and music, then renders a publish-ready video on your desktop.

Is Huko really a free AI video editor?

Huko is free to download on macOS and Windows, and the free plan is a real product rather than a countdown trial. You get 100 AI credits to generate your first animated videos, exports with no watermark, and the complete editor — timeline, keyframes, captions, transitions and every export preset — fully unlocked. Paid plans simply add a monthly credit allowance when you want to generate more.

How much does Huko cost?

Huko starts free with 100 AI credits. Billed yearly, paid plans are $18 a month for 3,500 credits, $50 for 10,000, and $120 for 25,000. Billed month to month they are $21, $75 and $150 respectively, so paying yearly saves up to 33%.

What is a credit, and what uses one?

Credits are spent only when Huko generates something for you — an animated scene, a motion graphic, a voiceover or an image. Editing, re-editing and exporting never cost credits on any plan, so you can keep refining a finished video and re-export it as many times as you like.

What happens when my credits run out?

On the Creator and Studio plans you are never blocked — video, motion, image and audio generation carry on unlimited once the month’s credits are used up. On Creator that unlimited generation runs at a reduced speed. On Studio it stays at full speed when billed yearly, and runs at a reduced speed on month-to-month billing. Credits refresh at the start of every billing month.

How does AI video editing work in Huko?

You submit an idea, a script, a story or an existing video as a job. The AI plans every scene, generates the visuals and motion, records narration, syncs captions and music, and renders the finished video end to end. When it completes, you get a publish-ready result that is still a fully editable project — not a locked file.

Can Huko add captions to my video automatically?

Yes. Huko writes your captions for you, timed to every word — TikTok-style, with karaoke highlighting in 12 reveal styles like pop, type-on, bounce and glow. Captions are generated on your own computer, so your audio is never uploaded anywhere.

Can Huko create a video from text?

Yes. Type a single prompt and Huko writes the script, generates fully animated scenes in your chosen art style — realistic, 3D, cartoon, anime, watercolor or stick figure — adds an AI voiceover and captions, and renders a publish-ready vertical video for TikTok, Reels or Shorts.

Can I edit the animations Huko generates?

Yes — everything Huko generates stays editable. Every animation opens as an editable clip with its own element timeline and keyframes, so you can retime, restyle or replace any motion. You can also ask the AI for a surgical change — like "make this land harder" — and it adjusts exactly that one element without touching the rest of your design.

Can Huko generate editable motion graphics?

Yes. Describe an animation and Huko returns a motion graphic in about 30 seconds — as an editable clip, not a video file. It opens in its own motion editor with a timeline per element, keyframes on any property, 30 entrances, 13 idle loops and 23 exits, plus version history for every change. Titles, shapes, animated counters, progress bars, rings and image sliders are all separate objects you can move, retime or replace.

Can I create my own characters in Huko?

Yes. Huko has a character creator where you shape a character instead of prompting for one — head shape, body build, hair from 12 cuts, colours, line weight, and which parts are drawn at all. You can add your own props and accessories, like a hat or a badge, and pin them to the head or the body so they move with the character.

Can I reuse the same character across different projects?

Yes. Save a character under a name and it joins your library — which belongs to the app, not to one project. Every project you open afterwards has your whole cast on the shelf, including projects you have not started yet. You can keep up to 60 characters, and set one as the character every new project starts with.

What happens if I change a character after I have used it?

The change reaches every clip at once. Give a character a rounder head or a different jacket and the walk, the wave and the jump all update — in the clip you are looking at and in the ones already on your timeline. You never re-edit the same character twice.

Can I save a motion graphic and reuse it in another project?

Yes. Save any clip to your shelf and it is available in every project afterwards. Saved clips reopen offline with no credits spent, and they arrive as ordinary editable clips — they trim, move, open in the motion editor and export exactly like a freshly generated one.

Does reusing a saved character or clip cost credits?

No. Credits are only spent when Huko generates something new. Reopening a saved character, dropping a saved clip onto the timeline or using anything from the built-in motion collections costs nothing, works offline, and is unlimited on every plan including Free.

How fast can Huko make a video?

Motion graphics generate in about 30 seconds as editable animated clips. A full video runs as one automated job — script, animated scenes, voiceover, captions, music and render — and finishes in minutes while you get on with something else.

Does Huko work on Mac and Windows?

Yes. Huko is a native desktop app for both macOS and Windows, so your videos are built and exported on your own machine instead of waiting in a cloud queue.

What video formats can Huko export?

Huko exports MP4, MOV, WebM and GIF in vertical, square or landscape, up to 4K at 10–60 fps. One-click presets match TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, YouTube, Facebook, X and LinkedIn specs, and exports finish quickly even at 4K.

Do I need video editing experience to use Huko?

No. Huko is built for creators, not editors. Describe what you want in plain words and the AI handles animation, cutting, pacing, captions and effects. If you want control, every scene, caption, motion and transition stays editable on a real multi-track timeline.
