Article

  • Browser-based video editor; all processing happens locally, no file uploads
  • Uses FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly for final encoding
  • Privacy-first angle: no cloud, no accounts required

Discussion

  • Impressive performance praised; Firefox/Windows track support had issues
  • Commenters note LGPL compliance concern with closed-source FFmpeg/Wasm distribution
  • Irony flagged: local-first is now a selling point, not the default
  • Questions raised about 10-bit video, demuxing, and comparison to similar tools
