24 alternatives to Twick - React SDK for Timeline-Based Video Editing

Hi HN - I am building Twick, a React video editor SDK for teams that want to ship video workflows inside their product. Core features: - Drag and drop video editor UI with timeline + canvas (`@twick/studio`) - Auto Caption flow for generating timed captions from video - Asset management for both user uploads and public assets - Modular packages if you want headless/custom UI (`@twick/timeline`, `@twick/canvas`, `@twick/live-player`) - MP4 export in browser (`@twick/browser-render`) or server-side (`@twick/render-server`) Live demo:…

    Hello HN, Video content is more popular than ever, but the toolkit for creating such content is a bit behind. You usually have to rely on a server for rendering whenever you want to create a video editing project in the browser. This means uploading content to a server, coding complex filters and effects, and more. My friend and I spent a year developing an SDK that handles all these complexities and offers an easy-to-use interface for developers. The SDK works entirely in the browser, manages memory efficiently so it can run even on a 7-year-old Android device, supports GLSL effects and…

    Hey hackers, OP here! I've been dipping in and out of this problem space for the last few years with many of my clients. Puck sits somewhere between an old-school WYSIWYG-powered CMS and headless one, allowing content teams to author content using real React components. Traditional CMS solutions were flexible but often resulted in page that completely broke the brand guidelines. Headless CMS solutions are a fantastic way of controlling brand by restricting UI changes to developers, but makes layout changes restrictive and slow as developers often need to get involved. Puck provides a visual…

    Hi HN, I’m Kiet, one of the creators of Onlook studio. I made this app that allows you to visually edit your locally running React app and write the code back to it in real-time. The purpose is to allow you to develop UI while fully owning your code the whole time. There are other visual builders out there but they either require you to upload your code to the cloud or some lengthy setup process. Onlook runs locally, deterministically, and only requires adding a plugin for the compile step (2 lines of config change). Technical details: This is technically a web browser that can point to your…

    I first shared Puck here back in Sept 2023, and wanted to give a quick update! Here's the original post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37391848 Puck let’s you embed a page building experience within your own React application. It integrates with any backend or CMS, and since it’s MIT licensed, you can safely use it in internal tools or customer-facing products. A lot’s changed since then; here are my highlights: * Multi-column drag-and-drop with full CSS layout support (Grid, Flexbox, etc) * Viewport previewing * Headless mode for completely custom interfaces *…

    I’ve been working with @artf (creator of GrapesJS) on Grapes Studio, an HTML-first editor with an LLM assistant on top of GrapesJS. We’re approaching this differently than the new wave of AI app/site builders which are typically generating full React applications, which we think is overkill for simple websites. From talking to people using these tools, we’ve seen a lot of issues with build errors and overly complicated pages. With our approach you can: - Edit visually via the no-code editor (drag/drop) or ask the LLM to make scoped changes (like “add a section” or “add a new…

    Hey HN! I just released Puck 0.18 with a new drag-and-drop engine for CSS grid and flexbox support. You can now use Puck to create a page builder that behaves like a design tool, but embedded within your own app and using your own React components. To use it, just add `display: flex` (or grid, etc) to your DropZone and Puck will gracefully handle drag-and-drop across all dimensions. Shout out to the dnd-kit maintainer Claudéric for the collaboration and support (if you’re reading this, I just sponsored you on GitHub!) and as always, a huge thanks to my wonderful community for all the testing…
