I don't like the auto-scrolling of the timeline when the red bar reaches the halfway point it's too jumpy.
Consider hosting some sample clips for people to play with.
I was able to wrest back some of my software by starting with
LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1
This forces CPU rendering through bypassing the intel GPU shitstack.
Or that's at least what I think happened. Took a loooong time to figure out.
Edit: I should include that part of the issue might be hamfisted aspects of the updates that penalize variable frame rates, which phone cameras use, and also comprises 100% of my videos. Still not sure though.
It is worth noting that I did a lot of research in this space when I was working on my own video editor and there are a lot of these now (I have about 30 in a spreadsheet). Ever since there was a ffmpeg WASM port many people have made these web based editors. It is so cool we live in a time where that kind of powerful technology is freely usable by others to build these tools.
My angle was to add gen ai video as a first class feature. That might be something you want to investigate now that video gen apis are becoming more common.
No, it doesn't need that. It just needs to be a good web-based video editor.
If he just wants a good website to do the job, sure, genai is uselesse
But if he wants to market it, in this day and age, it's practically a need.
No, it isn't. AI content creation is a fundamentally different thing that a video editor. Maybe you can't tell the difference, but I can. AI isn't going to edit the video how I want, it isn't going to create the video I want from a prompt when I've already got the video clips I want to edit. I don't need to edit clips of people with 7 fingers, I need to edit my family vacation video, or whatever it is I need a video editor for. There's nothing about AI that would improve this as a video editor, at all.
If I could import this project into my existing React-based web app, I will use it to edit clips of content for my specific application, and for that it is useful. AI would just bloat it and be annoying where it isn't needed.
Aborted() The progress bar is experimental in FFmpeg WASM, so it might appear slow or unresponsive even though the actual processing is not.

some feedback so far:
- allow me to drag + drop video clips to add them to the media section
- allow me to trim the beginning of a clip - right now i can only trim the end of a video clip
- allow me to drag the playhead (right now i can only click to move the playhead somewhere)
- make most of the text on the page be select-none - there were many times when i tried to drag something and it selected a bunch of text on the page
