| This looks pretty cool! I've been using Kapwing for similar

| Kapwing in its earlier days. Definitely a bit basic without all
| the effects and overlays, but looks like a nice MVP.
|
| As someone who used to run my own video sharing site in the
| 2000s, it's super cool seeing how videos can just render so
| quickly in my browser and be moved around.

|
| I guess this could be ported as a web app / home screen icon

|
| I'd love to connect this with mediapress/buddypress/wp
|

| app that would run a browser on the server to pull via youtubedl
| and spit out some mp3s to collect and listen later.
|
| sounds great!

| Please support Firefox.

| Ah, so it's a Chrome-based video editor, not a web-based one.

| It uses ffmpeg (compiled to WASM) and currently only Chromium

|
| SAFs were disabled on all major browsers after the Spectre
| exploit iirc. Slowly but steadily they'll patch and bring the
| feature back, and it'll automatically be compatible with those
| browsers then.
|
| Edit: Apparently Firefox does have SharedArrayBuffer
| support[0], but needs special headers.

| It does not require CORS (cross origin resource sharing),

| One of them was imported from MDN (and is more accurate,

| Unrelated to this project, a similar open source tool kit is

| Dumb question, but if everything happens on my computer, and it's

|
| It seems like one of these is not like the other.

| Yeah.
|
| Compare this with Subtitle Horse [0], a fantastic web-based
| subtitles editor that loads user's video to the browser storage
| (I guess? it certainly predates the file system access api),
| and does not require an account.

|
| The video trimmer and mp3 extractor don't require accounts.

| The homepage says the videos never leave the browser.
| antjanus wrote:

| It's a webasm compiled ffmpeg that does all the heavy lifting.

| No info on pricing? Or I cannot find it.
