Lightningbeam

An integrated multimedia editor

Lightningbeam is a free, open-source editor that combines vector animation, audio production, and video editing in a single application. One timeline, one project, one workflow.

Vector editing in Lightningbeam

Draw and animate vector shapes with a full set of tools, keyframe timelines, and non-destructive editing.

Audio editing in Lightningbeam

Build instruments from scratch in the node editor, sequence MIDI tracks, and mix audio — all in the same project as your animation.

Video editing in Lightningbeam

Edit video alongside your animation and audio, with a built-in shader editor for custom GPU-accelerated effects.

More to come — raster animation, scripting, and more are on the way.
