Open-Source Video Editor Web App
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…
In plain words
Open-Source Video Editor Web App is a browser-based video editing tool that runs entirely on the client side. It is free and open source under the MIT license, using the WebCodecs API for fast rendering. The tool is designed for anyone who needs to edit videos in a web browser without uploading files to a server. It stands out as an open-source alternative in a category with few available options.

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 something else, but in the end its learning experience and im not expecting much if at all. A bit about the video editor itself: -website: https://omniclip.app/ -its free -its open source (MIT Licensed) -its using Webcodecs API for quick rendering -works fully inside browser, client side, no private data is kept -I made some readme with more details, im not expecting contributions but I added bit about it: https://github.com/aegir-assembly/omni-clip Features: -Trimming -Splitting -Supports - Text, Audio, Video (mp4) and Images -Clip editing on preview - rotating, resizing, text styling and more -Undo/Redo -Render in different resolutions, up to 4k. Things to know before using this editor: -it is simple editor, but its my main project im working on and improving it. -right now it only works with videos 25 fps and more but not less -only 4 tracks -- its something I could improve quickly but forgot -bug here and there (eg. filmstrip not rendering until timeline scroll moved) -its not working on phones yet (drag and drop API problems) I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback on it.
