Vididoo – Client Side Only Ffmpeg Video Editor

I revamped an old project I had done in Web Assembly (WASM) with the Media Bunny library, a JavaScript library for reading, writing, and converting video and audio files directly in the browser. Media operations are way faster and more performant. You can now easily perform operations like cut, merge, resize, and compress videos, extract or replace audio, blend tracks, add watermarks, control speed, crop, apply grayscale, and convert images to video, all running smoothly right in your browser.

Vididoo – Client Side Only Ffmpeg Video Editor launched on January 4, 2022 with 20 votes, #958 of 2,891 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.

In plain words

Vididoo is a video editor that runs entirely in the browser using FFmpeg, requiring no server or installation. It allows users to edit videos directly on their device without uploading files elsewhere. The tool is designed for anyone needing basic video editing capabilities with the privacy benefit of processing happening locally. As a client-side application, it keeps video content on the user's machine throughout the editing process.

  • 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…

  • CompressX, my FFmpeg wrapper for macOS2024 · compressx.app · ▲170

    Hey HN, just wanted to share my success story with CompressX, my FFmpeg wrapper for macOS. For those who may not be familiar, FFmpeg is a powerful tool for converting, streaming, and recording audio and video content. I started CompressX as a weekend project to serve my 9-5 jobs, primarily to compress demo videos for uploading to GitLab and sharing with my colleagues. It took me 2 weeks to make the first working version. I shared the demo on Twitter and the reaction was extraordinary. People loved it, they said that I was bringing the Pied Piper to life. Four months later, I hit the $9,000…

  • Web page that parses and explains the label on a bike tire▲631

    History: Last year I had to replace the tire on my bike, and I was surprised how difficult it was to find a suitable new tire. There were a lot of numbers written on the casing, so I googled what they meant. In the end I was successful, but I didn't want to do the same work again for the next bike after I've forgotten the details. So I wrote this website. Technically, the web page is kept very simple, no frameworks, no templates, no website builder. It uses HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, and it privides a responsive layout for mobile usage. I'm happy to receive feedback. If you have tried the…
