A simple, quick front-end for FFmpeg.

Drag in a video — crop, trim, resize, transform, adjust, overlay, and convert it. Then export a clip that plays everywhere.

One window. The whole edit.

No timeline soup, no sign-in, no upload. Open a file, make your cut, and export — Leike drives ffmpeg under the hood and gets out of your way.

The Leike app: the file list with Combine and Batch on the left, the video preview, and the editing tabs

Everything you need

Packed, not bloated.

Crop & transform

Drag a crop box locked to 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9 — or free — then rotate, mirror, change speed, fade, aspect-fill, reverse, boomerang, or loop.

Trim, scrub & grab

Scrub a live preview with a thumbnail filmstrip, cut losslessly with fast-trim, and save any frame as a still image.

Built-in playback

Play with audio and a live effect preview — crop, rotation, colour, and fades all update as it runs.

Combine & batch

Drop in a list of clips — join them into one video (trim and crop each; mismatched sizes get a blurred fill), or batch-export the whole list through one recipe.

Colour, cleanup & stabilize

Brightness, contrast, saturation, grayscale, denoise, sharpen — plus a two-pass deshake for shaky footage.

Overlays

Burn in a text caption, drop an image watermark in any corner, or render a subtitle file onto the video.

Export anywhere

MP4 in H.264, H.265, or AV1, plus WebM, animated GIF, or MP3 — with optional GPU (NVENC) encoding or a target file-size fit.

Audio control

Mute, set the volume, or rip the audio out to MP3. Silent clips are detected and their controls greyed out.

Private & smart

Nothing uploads — your files never leave your machine. Reads source metadata to fix sideways phone videos and show fps / codec, and remembers your settings.
