Vmaker AI — Screen Recorder & AI Video Editor
Vmaker AI is a recorder and an editor: it captures your screen and turns long footage into captioned shorts. The shots you can't record — b-roll, product beats, openers — are generated here on frontier engines, free to try, no watermark.
Vmaker AI is an independent product of its developer. SeedDance is not affiliated with Vmaker — this page explains the tool and offers comparable generation directly.
The shots you can't record, made here
Openers, product beats, b-roll and transitions — click any card to view the prompt.
Record and edit there, generate the footage here
B-roll on demand
Describe the cutaway you need and get it in a minute — no stock library search, no licence to read, and it actually matches your script.
Openers and transitions
A three-second generated opener does more for a screen recording than any template, and it drops straight into the timeline of whatever editor you use — Vmaker, Premiere, or a CapCut alternative.
Vertical cuts composed, not cropped
Generate at 9:16 from the start so the subject is framed for the feed, instead of cropping a 16:9 recording and hoping the important part survives.
Finish at 4K
Generated shots can be upscaled in the same place, so the inserts don't look softer than the screen capture they sit next to.
Add generated footage to a recording in 3 steps
Mark the gaps in your edit
Watch the recording once and note where attention drops — those are the places a cutaway or an opener earns its keep.
Generate the inserts
One sentence per shot naming subject, setting and camera move. Render at 5 or 10 seconds in the same aspect ratio as your timeline.
Drop them into the edit
Clean MP4 with no watermark and full commercial rights — import into Vmaker or any other editor.
What is Vmaker AI?
Vmaker AI (vmaker.com) started as a screen and webcam recorder and grew into an AI video editing suite. The core is capture — screen, webcam, or both, with a Chrome extension and a cloud library — and on top of that sit the AI editing tools: a long-to-short video maker that pulls highlight clips out of a long recording, automatic subtitles, a background remover, a video enhancer, and text-, audio- or document-to-video converters. There are AI avatars too. The pitch on the homepage is blunt about it: "AI That Creates and Edits Videos for You!"
That makes Vmaker a workflow tool for people who already have footage — demo recordings, webinars, course modules, sales walkthroughs. It is not a frontier video generator, and it doesn't claim to be. Its free plan reflects the workflow focus rather than the generation focus: $0/month gets you three video downloads a month, 5GB of storage, 720p exports capped at five minutes, one minute of screen recording and a small pool of generative credits — and "Watermark-Free Videos" appears only on the paid tiers, which start at $18/month for Starter and $25/month for Teams, with 25% off annual billing.
SeedDance solves the other half. When the shot you need doesn't exist on your hard drive — an opener, a product beat, a scene you can't film — you generate it here on Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0 and Veo 3.1 class engines, free to try, and drop the clean MP4 straight into whatever editor you already use.

Vmaker competes on capture and editing workflow; SeedDance competes on generating footage that doesn't exist yet. They sit at different ends of the same pipeline.
Vmaker AI vs SeedDance
| Vmaker AI | SeedDance | |
|---|---|---|
| Developer | Vmaker | Independent |
| Strength | Screen and webcam capture, long-to-short clipping, subtitles, team library | Frontier engines (Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1), clean exports |
| Open-source | ❌ | ❌ |
| Best for | Turning recordings you already have into publishable clips | Creating footage you can't record |
These two aren't really rivals. If your problem is a two-hour recording that needs to become ten shorts, that's Vmaker's job. If your problem is that the shot doesn't exist, that's this one.
Vmaker AI, answered
Is Vmaker AI free?
Vmaker has a free plan: three video downloads a month, 720p exports capped at five minutes, one minute of screen recording and 5GB of storage.

What is Vmaker AI?
Vmaker AI is a screen and webcam recorder with an AI editing suite on top: it clips long recordings into shorts, generates subtitles, removes backgrounds, enhances video, and converts text, audio or documents into video.
Is this the official Vmaker site?
No — the official site is vmaker.com. SeedDance is an independent platform where you can generate video footage on frontier engines.
Can I record my screen on SeedDance?
No — screen capture is not what this is. SeedDance generates footage from prompts and images. Record with Vmaker or any recorder, generate the inserts here, and combine them in your editor.
Does Vmaker put a watermark on free exports?
Its pricing page lists "Watermark-Free Videos" only on the Starter, Teams and Enterprise plans, so the free tier is watermarked. Videos generated on SeedDance download clean on every tier.
Can I use generated footage commercially?
Yes — full commercial rights to what you generate here, including client work and monetised channels.
What resolution can I export?
Vmaker caps free exports at 720p and raises the ceiling by plan up to 4K. On SeedDance, generated clips can be upscaled to 4K without a subscription tier gating it.
Is vmaker.ai the official domain?
The product lives at vmaker.com — that is where the homepage and the pricing page are published. If a search sends you to a different domain claiming to be Vmaker, check it against vmaker.com first.
