24 alternatives to FreeMotion – Browser-based Remotion editor with site scraping record
Hello HN, I’ve been experimenting with the recent Remotion + Claude Code workflow. While generating video code with LLMs is impressive, the feedback loop felt broken to me. You have to prompt, copy code, set up a local Node environment, install dependencies, and run ffmpeg just to see a 5-second preview. I built FreeMotion (https://freemotion.dev) to move this entire workflow into the browser. It is a free, online editor specifically designed to close the loop between "Prompting" and "Rendering". The core problems I tried to solve: Environment Friction: Running Remotion locally…

See animations created by me using Trangram: https://www.trangram.com/showcase I started working on Trangram 7 years ago with a simple idea: a free browser-based vector editor that combines illustration and animation in one place. The goal is to make creating vector graphics and animations as simple as opening a browser. There's nothing to install, no account required, and projects are saved automatically in your browser, so nothing is uploaded to a server. I use Trangram every day for my own illustrations (and occasionally animations). One of the most rewarding parts of…

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…

I found that I am using ChatGPT more and more to get the FFmpeg command I need, but the process can be a bit tedious: copy-pasting commands, dealing with input file names and locations, making sure the prompt contains enough info about the input files. This site attempts to solve that. You just describe what you want to do, pick the input files and an LLM (currently DeepSeek) generates the FFmpeg command. You can then run it directly in your browser or use the command elsewhere.

Hi HN, I've been working on this project for the last 5 months, inspired by Screen Studio but runs 100% in the browser. Here is a demo of the editor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7-etsFZgPI One of the big challenges of using the browser is getDisplayMedia, the API for recording screens, doesn't provide mouse coordinates for security reasons. Mouse coordinates are important for auto-focus animations. So I trained a YOLOv11 model to detect mouse cursors and I run inference in real time while you record. Also, I created my own Remotion-style renderer because I started with…

I've been building open-source tools in the video/multimedia space for 10+ years. Finally shipped the commercial product I always wanted to exist — Video Commander, a desktop app that consolidates FFmpeg, ffprobe, MediaInfo, VMAF and more into a single workspace where you can inspect, encode and analyze video. Built with Tauri + Rust backend, React frontend. FFmpeg and VMAF. Not a cool AI/LLM project, just a tool I've been heads-down building over the last six months. Happy to answer any questions!

Rescript▲144Descript costs $24/mo, so I built this over a single weekend with Fable! Introducing Rescript: edit videos by simply editing the transcript text. Drop in a video and it is transcribed locally with per-word timestamps and speaker labels. Delete words in the transcript and the corresponding clip is cut from the video. Runs fully in the browser: Local, free, offline and open source. → Github https://github.com/wassgha/rescript → App https://wassgha.github.io/rescript

Hello Friends, I have built a new video editor app that generates ffmpeg commands to get the edited video. This gives you flexibility to use it in scripts etc. for your video editing workflows and makes editing tasks smooth by letting you visually adjust video elements that are difficult to adjust in commandline. Demo is here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSvazNBEfTc Link is here - https://newbeelearn.com/tools/videoeditor/ Features are - video, image, text editing - adjustable timeline and layers - adjust position, size , alignment, font size…

It's an open source video editor designed for motion effects and versatility. developed with electronjs / TypeScript, FFmpeg, Litjs. I'm currently focusing on making it easier to edit long-form videos. Specifically, adding subtitles to podcast episodes or creating short-form content from YouTube videos. And I’m also developing several extensible utilities. For example, recording video with a floating webcam—similar to Loom—or using LLMs to make cut editing easier. To make all this possible, I believe the first step is to build a versatile, general-purpose video editor. Demo :…

Built a browser-based FFmpeg editor that runs entirely client-side via WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device -- all processing happens in a Web Worker. Works offline as an installable PWA after first load.

You ever just want to shrink a video… and suddenly you’re buried in flags, half-broken StackOverflow answers, and 10 tabs open just to figure out one command? That’s been me. Every. Single. Time. So I built FFmpeg Pages — a dead-simple collection of the commands I kept searching for. No fluff, no digging, just the stuff that actually works.

Hi HN! I have been building WebMotion, a small library for making videos in the browser. The basic idea is that everything on screen is a pure function of the current frame, so rendering frame N always produces the same result. That means you can seek anywhere in the timeline, and exports are frame accurate without needing a server. Demos (each includes its own source): https://superhq-ai.github.io/webmotion/ The repo also includes an agent skill that lets coding agents create launch videos from a prompt. Quite a few of the demos were made that way. Feedback is very…
