Hey everyone, for the past like six months I've been working on a portfolio project. I got tired of doing easy projects, so I decided to tackle something bigger and more challenging. That's when I came up with the idea of a video editor. This piece of work is intended to showcase my skills and land me a job, but I like to think when working on projects that my idea is so cool that people will like to use it, and I treat every project like a startup idea. Also I havent seen many open source video editors especially on web so that was one of the points why I decided to make that and not…

Hey HN community! I'm one of the lead devs of this project at fal.ai and we created an open source lightweight video editor powered by the latest media AI models. The main goal was to tackle some challenges when dealing with complex media handling and encoding on the browser. It all started as an internal experiment but as we tackled some of the issues it was clear there could be some value sharing it with the open source community. Some of the key points and tech stack details: - It uses IndexedDb, so all data is local (i.e. no auth, no cloud db) - Multiple AI models for video, image, music…

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 wanted a proper non-linear video editor built for the web. It always annoyed me how there are practically zero functioning web video editors. And here we are :) Kimu can: - Work with Video, Audio & Text. - Supports Transitions. - Non-Linear Video Editing with z-axis overlays. - Split/trim - Export - A cute AI agent (coming soon!) I'm in uni and I started this project out of sheer annoyance that there are zero good web video editors. It is open-source here (https://github.com/robinroy03/videoeditor). What do y'all think?

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 :…
