Install Evaloon Editor

Evaloon Editor is a free video editor for Windows. This page takes you from the download button to an open editor.

Before you start

• You need a Windows PC (64-bit). The system requirements page lists what we know so far.
• You do not need an account, just an email address for the download link. You do not need to be online to edit.

Install it

1. Choose Download for Windows, fill in the short form, then open the email we send and click Download for Windows (or type the code on the page). A file named like EvaloonEditor-0.7.4-x64.exe is saved to your Downloads folder. The version number in the name will match the current release.

2. Open the file. If Windows shows a blue Windows protected your PC screen, follow the SmartScreen steps below, then come back here.

3. Follow the installer. When it finishes, open Evaloon Editor from the Start menu.

4. The editor opens on a start screen where you pick a format for your first project. Carry on with Your first edit.

If Windows shows SmartScreen

SmartScreen is the Windows check that warns you about apps it has not seen many times. A new app from a small team can trigger it even when the file is fine. It does not mean the file is broken.

1. On the blue screen, select More info. (The only button you see at first is Don’t run; More info is a small link above it.)

2. Check that the app name reads EvaloonEditor-…-x64.exe. The publisher line may say Unknown publisher.

3. Select Run anyway.

Note

Whether the installer is code-signed, and what publisher name Windows will show, is to be confirmed. This page will be updated when that is settled.

Only run the installer if you downloaded it from evaloon.com. If you got it from anywhere else, delete it and use Download for Windows again.

If the download does not start

The download button can say the installer is not available yet. That means no version has been published right now, not that your PC is the problem. Try again later.

Updating

To update, download the newest installer and run it. Whether the editor offers updates by itself is to be confirmed.

Removing it

Open Settings > Apps > Installed apps in Windows, find Evaloon Editor, and choose Uninstall. Whether your projects are kept or deleted on uninstall is to be confirmed, so copy any project you care about somewhere safe first.
