Is online video editing safe? Where do my videos go?
With a reputable editor, yes. Your media uploads to the editor's storage tied to your account, projects stay private by default, and exported files download straight back to you. Because nothing installs, there are no bundled toolbars, background services, or installer malware — a real advantage over sketchy "free download" desktop editors.
Sensible precautions still apply: use an editor with real account sign-in (EseCut uses Google OAuth — no separate password to leak), don't upload footage you're contractually barred from moving off-premises, and prefer tools that state plainly that your content remains yours. For everyday creator and business footage, browser editing is as safe as any cloud service you already use.
