- Captions made on your computer, with word highlights, plus smart cuts that remove silences and filler words.
- Sound tools: noise removal, voice enhance, loudness to the social standard, music that dips under speech, beat detection, voiceover and text to speech.
- 24 filters, 22 effects, LUTs, curves, masks, green screen, keyframes and transitions.
- Background removal, stabilising, auto reframe for vertical video, smooth slow motion and upscaling, all running on your computer.
- Long video to shorts, cut to the beat, picture in picture, stickers and safe zones for each platform.
- Export to MP4, HEVC, WebM, ProRes, GIF and audio, in the background while you keep editing.
- AI tools like Claude Code can edit alongside you: see Settings, Let AI tools edit with you.
First launch
If your computer shows a popup the first time you open OpenRoll, that's only because the app isn't code signed yet. The setup command above skips it. All of the code is public, and every file below is listed with its checksum in SHA256SUMS.txt. To open it past the popup:
- Mac: open OpenRoll once and close the popup, then go to System Settings, Privacy and Security, and click Open Anyway next to OpenRoll.
- Windows: if SmartScreen appears, click More info, then Run anyway.
- Linux: make the AppImage executable (chmod +x) and run it, or install the .deb.
Updates install quietly from now on. You can turn that off in Settings.
