A browser-based video editor that renders videos directly with FFmpeg

Weave is a React app that provides a multi-track timeline editor to perform basic video edits like trimming, stitching, transitions, audio tracks etc. which maps directly to an FFmpeg command to render the video. I tried my best to have the React "video" preview closely replicate the FFmpeg lavfi filtergraph output, but naturally this is not perfect (especially replicating the `eq` filter using SVG filters is quite inaccurate). I've built this as a prototype for another project I'm working on, so I don't plan to actively maintain it, but I thought it'd be cool to share it. Try it live:…

In plain words

Weave is a browser-based video editor built with React that lets users perform basic video editing tasks like trimming, stitching, transitions, and audio mixing on a multi-track timeline. The editor generates FFmpeg commands to render the final video, with an in-browser preview that approximates the output. Designed as a prototype, it offers a code-focused approach to video editing for developers and technical users who want direct control over FFmpeg parameters.

    VidStudio, a browser based video editor that doesn't upload your filesApr 2026 · vidstudio.app · ▲301

    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…

    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.

    I Couldn't Find a Good Open-Source Web Video Editor, So I Built One2025 · github.com · ▲7

    I wanted an open-source video editor template for React. Found no good ones. reactvideoeditor.com is paid. So ended up building this. It is powered by Remotion, provides non-linear video editing support, live preview and local exporting for now. If you're building a tool where you need to give customers a video editor in the browser, this can be helpful. MIT licensed. Let me know what you guys think, feel free to drop by and make a PR/Issue. https://github.com/robinroy03/videoeditor

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

    A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…
