That’s funny - I created one as well, but it took me a bit longer. It’s not as full featured as yours in the non linear editing sense, but it’s for a different use case

I’m trying to launch it on Show HN right now but not having your success :-(

It was hard as shit to build. mine is commercial

You can see my editor in action here:

It’s specialized for its use case—editing product demos, but, I had to virtualize the timeline events to support cutting and nested cuts. In other words, when a cut in placed in the video, I jump to the point in time at the end of the cut and adjust all surrounding events.

It doesn’t do join and split, but I would know how to do that.

Also lots of FFmpeg stuff on AWS Lambda

Love to chat sometime about what you learned! Yours is very impressive!

but not having your success

A couple of ideas to consider:

Include a blurb in your submission like you did here:

But maybe take the salesy-ness down a little and add a bit of technical or other interesting detail.

Think of a way to make it easier for HN readers to try - right now, there's no way to try the full thing without a credit card which is a massive barrier for most casual evaluators. Watermark but more of the full feature set could be an option, for example.

I also built ScreenRun, a video editor with zooms and fake clicks running 100% client side with web codecs. You can try for free https://screenrun.app/

thanks im glad you think its impressive it means a lot for me after working on it so hard for so long and after endless destroyed sleeping schedules ... I did learn a lot about the tools like ffmpeg or mp4boxjs, and general idea about video processing and codecs to make it work .. in other words tons of different things to learn to pull it off, but thats what I wanted :D I needed to challenge myself because im not confident in my abilities as programmer so hearing some nice words about my project is all I need now
