Pikimov, free no-signup motion design, video editor, gets serious with v4

The After Effects and Capcut alternative is starting to look like a real alternative. Pikimov v4 landed this month, no-signup, in-browser, and free for macOS, Windows, Linux, and (critical in education) Chromebook. And even alongside other tools, it’s an absolute joy.

There are non-AI improvements, too, like overdue keyboard shortcuts. And its iPad version is gradually becoming more mature, too. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new in the free Mac update and latest iPad release.
