There aren't any end-to-end open source video host solutions out there from what I can tell. DIY ffmpeg + a CDN is a great way to go. But quickly erodes when you want all the other niceties that are table-stakes today (like storyboards, subtitles, chapters, etc.).
I'll have all the niceties, but I plan to differentiate mainly on performance and quality.
- Higher quality compression (via AV1 encoding) - Fast load times worldwide (Framerate's custom player is 18kb gzipped versus 200kb+ for vidstack/mux) - Better publishing experience (bulk editing options, team collaboration, etc.)
Now I'm working on productizing that at https://framerate.com/ (beta launches next week!)
I run a small animated video studio and was tired of my project collaboration living across several Google Docs, PDFs and 50+ scattered emails... so I built Clientroute.
It's a client management app aimed at creative freelancers and agencies and allows their clients to follow easy step-by-step directives as a project progresses.
The back-end is completely powered by a Trello account and the app grabs everything it needs from explicitly marked cards. As a client marks to-do items, leaves comments and uploads files, they'll all appear right in your Trello boards.
Are there any freelancer/contractors/consultants out there that could provide any input?
Thanks for checking it out!
