Why not use a laptop where you can download a good video editing tool and use that ? Video editing on the cloud is not a trivial task and hence you don't see too many options. Also, if you don't want to upload anything, then it defeats the purpose of cloud. We are not quite there yet with PWAs specially for things like video editing.

Yes, obviously you would have to upload at some point to get them into the cloud, but I was thinking the files could be manipulated locally first then the files + a script could be uploaded and processed remotely.

There definitely would be some cost to processing in the cloud, but I think it would be worth it.

I just look at apps like Adobe Photoshop CC that can be run on a Chromebook and I'm wondering why it's not being adopted more widely.
