LEDEdit Pro 2026 is the new paid successor to the classic free LEDEdit — rebuilt for T1000s and modern LED controllers. Edit LED video on a real timeline, apply professional effects, and export directly to your T1000s SD card.

Why LEDEdit Pro?

Feature Tour
Chapters, transcript and more: LEDEdit Pro 2026 video tutorial.
Every screenshot on this page comes from the real app running one demo project — a club stage wall with a main LED screen, two side pillars and floor strips. No mock-ups. Click any image to open it full size.
Timeline & scenes
Build whole shows on a multi-layer timeline
- Scene tabs keep show parts apart — intro, drop, outro — and you choose which scenes to export.
- Put effect, text, image and video clips on any layer; each layer is its own region of your LED layout.
- Snap to grid, zoom to fit, copy / paste / duplicate clips, full undo and redo.

LED Layout Creator
Map the LEDs exactly as they are wired
- Place LEDs on a millimetre grid, stamp grid patterns and wire them serpentine, linear or manually.
- Every port shows its LED count against the controller limit, and Layout Check flags problems before you export.
- Import and export LEDEdit DXF files, then push the layout straight into the editor.

Layers & masks
Paint where each effect plays
- Each layer gets a colour, visibility, lock and opacity.
- Paint layer masks right over the LED positions with pen, eraser, rectangle, ellipse and fill tools.
- Effects fill only the LEDs inside the mask — screen, pillars and floor strips run different content at the same time.

Live preview
See every LED before you export
- The Per LED preview shows the composed frame sampled onto your real LED positions.
- Switch between overlay and LED-only views and boost preview brightness.
- Scrub or play the timeline — what you see is what gets written to the SD card.

151 effects
Effects you can actually shape
- Browse or search 151 effects in 17 categories — runners, ripples, plasma, kaleidoscopes, rain, fire and more.
- Every effect exposes its own parameters plus palette, speed, duration, background and glow.
- Hit Shuffle to explore variations in one click.

Palette editor
Palettes that make LEDs pop
- Start from 149 built-in palettes or the LEDEdit presets, then save your own.
- Build gradients with Quick Gradient, Generators, Combine and Anchors, or reverse, invert and double them.
- Import
.pal/.hexpalettes from other tools.

Text clips
Titles and tickers that stay readable on LEDs
- Font, size, bold / italic, letter and line spacing tuned for low-resolution matrices.
- Outline and gradient text driven by any palette.
- Static or animated text with speed and direction, plus one-click position presets.

LEDEdit .led export
Straight to the controller’s SD card
- Pick the LEDEdit version, controller family and chip / IC type — T-1000, T-2000, K-1000 offline and more.
- The export preflight lists scenes, frame rate, ports, LED count and program slots before anything is written.
- Animation, main-controller and RGBW packages, with per-port chip overrides.
- If a controller does not play the file, export the DXF layout + AVI video and build the
.ledin free LEDEdit — fallback guide.

Video Generator
Render effect loops as video clips
- Pick an effect, tune its parameters and palette, and watch the live preview.
- Set output size, length, FPS, rotation and a lossless export profile.
- Exported loops land in the project folder and can be added to a layer automatically.
