Edit on a timeline. Build in a graph.

Ravel is an open-source video editor where every effect, layer and transition is a node. Cut the way you always have, then open any layer and wire it procedurally.

03 / Node familiesSix of the built-ins

Everything plugs into the same network.

Shapes, fields, text and audio all speak geometry and attributes, so the output of one family is the input of the next. Nothing lives in a separate plugin silo.

shape.*Detail A

Procedural shapes

Polygons, stars, rects and custom paths with every parameter animatable. Scatter them along a circle, a grid or a path instead of duplicating layers.

field.*Detail B

Fields and noise

Noise, curl noise, falloff, gradients and expressions. Blend fields together and apply them to any attribute.

textDetail C

Procedural typography

Each character is a point you can scatter, offset and animate. Text follows paths. Made for lyric videos and title sequences.

audioDetail D

Audio reactive

Spectrum analysis and beat detection on the song you are cutting to, wired straight into any parameter.

gpuDetail E

WGSL shaders

Write a custom effect in WGSL and watch it run on the GPU as you type. The same wgpu device draws the interface.

Headless render

Render any composition to PNG or EXR sequences, ProRes, H.264, H.265, VP9 or AV1 without opening a window.

04 / One project, two viewsComposition · layers · networks

The timeline is a view of the graph.

A composition holds ordered layers. Each layer owns a node network, and its timing, transform and blend mode compile into nodes too. Switching views converts nothing.
