While building a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system, I was frustrated by my vector database consuming 8GB RAM just to search my own PDFs. After incurring $150 in cloud costs, I had an unconventional idea: what if I encoded my documents into video frames? The concept sounded absurd—storing text in video? But modern video codecs have been optimized for compression over decades. So, I converted text into QR codes, then encoded those as video frames, letting H.264/H.265 handle the compression. The results were surprising. 10,000 PDFs compressed down to a 1.4GB video file. Search…

Hi HN, I built VidStudio, a privacy focused video editor that runs in the browser. I tried to keep it as frictionless as possible, so there are no accounts and no uploads. Everything is persisted on your machine. Some of the features: multi-track timeline, frame accurate seek, MP4 export, audio, video, image, and text tracks, and a WebGL backed canvas where available. It also works on mobile. Under the hood, WebCodecs handles frame decode for timeline playback and scrubbing, which is what makes seeking responsive since decode runs on the hardware decoder when the browser supports it. FFmpeg…

Hi HN, this is a project I've been working on as part of my PhD. Vidformer is a system that makes video annotation or transformation scripts practically instant. Traditional scripts that render full videos can take minutes—Vidformer speeds this up by optimizing execution and using on-demand rendering, so results appear immediately instead of waiting for entire videos to render. It works as a drop-in replacement for OpenCV's cv2, meaning most scripts can adopt it by simply changing "import cv2" to "import vidformer.cv2 as cv2"—no need to rewrite code or sacrifice flexibility. Vidformer is…

Hi! This is a quick lil CLI I've created for upscaling videos using Apple's MetalFX (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/metalfx). There are a few improvements I plan to make, such as HDR support and a progress bar, but if it sounds interesting, please give it a try and let me know what you think!
