If you’re an aspiring video editor using a Chromebook as your main device, you must be frustrated at the lack of ChromeOS support from pro tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve. You might have learned how to edit videos on these powerful video editors at school or through the many great tutorials available on YouTube.

elevate.io is a new video editor with a video editing workflow that’s similar to Premiere and DaVinci, and the best thing is it’s optimised to work perfectly in your Google Chrome browser on your Chromebook, no installation required. If you’ve learned how to edit on any of the classic pro editors, you’ll feel right at home when you see elevate.io’s interface. The timeline, preview window, media browser, and general snappy and responsive feel of elevate.io will immediately be familiar to you.

Then there’s the problem of storage space that Chromebooks have. Most Chromebooks come with tiny 16 to 64GB internal hard drives. If you’re shooting 4K footage, you’ll be moving files around external hard drives constantly. For some projects, the entire hard drive capacity of your Chromebook won’t even be large enough for all of your files. With elevate.io, your Chromebook’s hard drive capacity doesn’t matter, at all. Your large video files and projects will live in your workspace in the cloud, so that your hard drive space never limits your creativity.
