What's the best video editor for teachers and educators?

For teachers, the best video editor is one that runs on the exact laptop the district already issued — often a locked-down Chromebook — which rules out most desktop software entirely. EseCut runs in the browser, so it works on district-managed Chromebooks and Windows laptops without needing admin rights to install anything.

For flipped-classroom or lecture-recap videos, the time-saver is auto captions: dropping accurate, editable subtitles onto a 20-minute screen recording in one pass instead of typing them by hand, which matters for accessibility compliance (ADA/Section 508) that many US school districts are required to meet.

• Works on district-managed Chromebooks — no install, no admin permissions needed
• Auto captions help meet ADA/Section 508 accessibility requirements for classroom media
• Trim and combine screen recordings into a clean lesson video without desktop software
• Free, so it doesn't compete with classroom budget or require a purchase order
