Professional video editing, right in the browser with WebGPU and WASM

> This editor relies on WebGPU for rendering, which currently works best in Chrome or other Chromium-based browsers. You may experience issues in your current browser.
(reminds of works in IE6)
Missing support in Firefox on Linux and Android, otherwise seems to be pretty well supported in recent browsers.
Would you like to share your development experience? I suggest creating a CONTRIBUTING.md and enabling discussions if you are open to PRs.
The current poc still has significant performance overhead, and that overhead grows as the plugin system becomes more powerful. If plugins are only allowed to apply a WGSL shader, the performance impact is almost negligible. But features that require broader access to timeline data, such as time shifts, speed ramps, or full timeline transformations, become much more expensive and make zero-copy architectures harder to reason about.
That said, I would be very interested in hearing your thoughts if you are open to contributing or discussing what a practical plugin system should look like in this environment. Please file a GitHub issue if you can
It violates point 1,5 and 6 of the open source definition https://opensource.org/osd
Restrictions on usage type are not commonly accepted as open source by any community that I'm aware of.
As far as I know the most restrictive open source license is the AGPL, with a CLA that allows for commercial dual licensing.
I did a poll on this on a Discord server a while ago
What does open source mean
You can view the source code: 0 votes
View + use + redistribute for any purpose: 14 votes
So no, your version of it is not the common usage
Look at something like the Hashicorp BSL [1] for inspiration on crafting a license that forbids specific commercialization of the software itself.
Sadly, things like this just put a bad taste in my mouth about the whole concept of running code in a browser like this. It's buggy as hell. It doesn't run in all browsers. And I really have to ask why we think the browser is the place to run this. We've moved from Java and now to WASM in a browser, but only some browsers.
They are absolutely not anything like oracle.
This is a big barrier if you want cross-compatibility and making Linux usable for everyday people. My whole interface is a terminal and a browser. I could use/pay for something like this in the same way I use figma. I don't need an app and when I open my iPad I can access whatever I was working on.
The browser should have been the place to run all of this from the very start; but Apple/Google decided to create walled gardens for their systems.
Kdenlive is much better imho for basic edits

I'd love to have nethack/slashem, the terminal version, ported to it. No, not HTML+JS, VT220 output with colour at least, usable in any VT emulator with Ricket.
That way I would play Slashem everywhere without even needing to have an ANSI C+POSIX compiler with tons of Unix dependencies. 9front has some compat but the game looks like a maze of ifdefs for different Unix systems. GLHack can be compiled with NPE (a small POSIX+SDL2/3 wrapper) and TinyGL but for these games I'm faster with the terminal output.
- You can't delete the audio track from a video, only mute it
- You can't add a new Audio track
- Because of the two points above you can't really seem to be able to overlay a song to a video that already has an audio track?
- You can only scroll horizontally and not vertically in the track block, so tracks can go out of screen and remain invisible
I want to support some colleagues with automating some of the setup of routine video editing. Can't consider this impressive work without that clarity!
I can use Remotion for example, to design any kind of animation in code, and overlay it on video, which, especially with AI, lets me do quite a lot.
One thing I did for a while, was render some assets, and then with remotion I created a template, and a script, that would pump out videos automatically. Think similar in concept to like, a Daily Mail news video, where its just some music, some footage, and some text overlayed. Every video is the same, they just need to drag and drop some assets in and click Go. Remotion was great for that.
Still, I made the actual assets for the graphics in after effects. In mine, a date would "glitch" onto the screen and then glitch out. Probably possible to do with code, obviously, but was much more complicated than using AE to design that.
The enhancement is not core to the product and available to free and paid users, but because its a commecial product your ELv2 license does not support it. As I understand, and its limited, the ELv2 is best suited for tools that are source available but only usedage in backend tools / single developer experience.
In your case that may be the case, so it depends on your desired direction, if you want media creators to be able to use their tool individually then sure, your license is fine.
Not really sure why someone would use this instead of a proper native application.
Modern browser and GPU capabilities are already sufficient for a large category of practical video editing tasks. We are not targeting blockbuster scale 8K movies at least for now, but we are targeting real jobs people do every day across social, commercial, and non-commercial video production.
And the sandboxing get up to 4 GB, which in most cases will kill the browser depending on how many tabs are open.
Also, video files are never fully decoded. We use the browser's native WebCodecs on demand. Only a small buffered window gets decoded and sent to the compositor. So it can even handle long 4K videos.
It's for everyone who had a pirated version of cs3 on their computer for basic edits.
What is the most successful game on the browser, done with Unreal 5 that can compare to Flash 3D games, other than the citadel demo done with Unreal 3, and with Infinity Blade graphics as baseline?
Exactly, crickets.
Request for transcription and transcription editing
For flipping around a few seconds of video it's ok - but it's only processing (on my machine) like 2fps.
it's for this:
https://ubernaut.github.io/recordMyScreen/
which uses a the wasm build of ffmpeg.
Is there similar project for image editing?
Just basic features:
- cropping
- rotating
- brightness & contrast
UI is rather confusing.
i did the same masterselects.com
It doesn't take much functionality to make jump cut videos and silly zooms an other non-traditional editorial styles that are the new normal for content.
However, as a professional editor, I laugh at these attempts using professional in the description when you're telling me to edit in a browser. <face_palm> It's great that they want to create a new thing and try some experimental stuff, but it's not going any where near my use of professional. Also, the landing page is dry as can be and not really informative. It's the visual equivalent of bullet points. What codecs does it support? What level of audio features are available. The lame video is just some panning shot. There's no editorial features being demoed at all. Does the timeline behave like FCP elastic or a more traditional timeline? What professional tools are available? Hmm, no data available, so I guess we'll have to just play with it. Oops, browser not compatible. Thanks for playing.
