alt Hacker NewsProfessional video editing, right in the browser with WebGPU and WASM
Comments
I used it to combine the sounds from one video with the imagery of another video. It worked easily enough. It feels really simple to use, there aren't many ways for me to make mistakes. I could easily switch to using this tool. Fyi I used Brave Browser without issue.
I've been using kdenlive and it is functional as an open source video editor. I don't know if kdenlive supports shared assets and projects, but this feels like something this project could offer and exceed expectations. Is that on the roadmap?
Had a look. "Professional" is doing a lot of work here.
I like the promise, but the hill is very steep and I don't see much on delivery here. Very hopeful, but I would rather see this kind of thing launch significantly further than where it is at. This appears to be a good base, now let's see it again when there is Text support, animations, transitions, filters, etc.
Tried it in Firefox and it was working for a few minutes and then managed to crash the whole browser. Definitely a firefox and/or gpu driver bug though. I can't wait for WebGPU browser/platform support to get a bit more mature, because it's awesome (although the security implications do make me nervous).
Free and open source NLE video editor powered by WGPU, WASM, WebGPU, Rust, and Tanstack Start
Nice tool, but not a very useful license.. I would love to integrate something like this as an additive to users but if I'm not mistaken, that's completely off limits for this license type ?
Really cool! It may not replace a dedicated NLE for professional editors, but I love that it's a fully functional NLE that you could drop into an existing web app that handles video.
What would be really awesome is if it could use the server its hosted on's GPUs. I have a multi GPU server and it would be great to be able to edit videos from my table or couch without spinning up my laptop so hard.
great project but non commercial license, makes me not to go near it.
very cool. I was trying to implement a MP4 encoder in webGPU recently by porting sections of ffmpeg (NOT EASY).
it's for this:
https://ubernaut.github.io/recordMyScreen/
which uses a the wasm build of ffmpeg.
This is very cool!! but a test video I did and I played it back on Safari, the video playback was very, very choppy (m2 air). Is this a known issue?
This looks cool! I'll check it out later from my computer, I'm guessing it's not so easy to use on mobile.
Great project. The last time someone did this idea well they got acquired by Microsoft. Clipchamp has since been enshittified, making them ripe for disruption. The wheel continues to turn…
looking good! getting red/inverted video flashes on Firefox, M4 Pro. could be an issue with canvas anti-fingerprinting though, not sure its root cause
Great project!
Is there similar project for image editing?
Just basic features:
- cropping
- rotating
- brightness & contrast

Is it feature-parity with Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro? If not, then it's not professional.
This will only handle toy videos, given the browser limitations in sandboxing and 3D rendering.
Not really sure why someone would use this instead of a proper native application.
