Shrimply Documentation

Shrimply is a video editor with caption, video, and audio tracks, a native preview compositor, and an inspector for editing project and clip properties.

Create a project with the canvas size and frame rate you need, import media onto the timeline, edit and preview the result, then export a video, GIF, captions, or project data. Shrimply also includes an optional compute server and an MCP adapter for working with the project currently open in the editor.
