 This GIF / YouTube was created with this command: "editly [commonFeatures.json5](https://github.com/mifi/editly/blob/master/examples/commonFeatures.json5)". See [more examples here](https://github.com/mifi/editly/tree/master/examples#examples).

+Editly has a simple CLI for quickly assembling a video from a set of clips or images, or you can use its more flexible JavaScript API.
 
 Inspired by [ffmpeg-concat](https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/ffmpeg-concat), editly is much faster and doesn't require much storage because it uses **streaming** editing. Editly aims to be very extensible and feature rich with a pluggable interface for adding new **dynamic content**.
 
 ## Features
 
 - Edit videos with code! Declarative API with fun defaults
-- Create colorful videos with random colors generated from aesthetically pleasing pallettes and random effects
-- Supports any input size like 4K video and DSLR photos
-- Can output to any dimensions and aspect ratio, like *Instagram post* (1:1), *Instagram story* (9:16), *YouTube* (16:9), or any other dimensions you like.
-- Content will be scaled and letterboxed automatically, even if input aspect ratio is not same, and framerate will be converted.
-- Speeds up / slow down videos automatically to match `cutFrom`/`cutTo` segment length with each clip's `duration`

 **TIP:** If you need catchy music for your video, have a look at [this YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCht8qITGkBvXKsR1Byln-wA) or the [YouTube audio library](https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music?nv=1). Then use [youtube-dl](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl) to download the video, and then point `--audio-file-path` at the video file. *Be sure to respect their license!*
