    The creator of that repo has a blog with some posts on building a wasm version of FFmpeg, I mostly followed those: https://jeromewus.medium.com/ I also used some of their scripts f…

    Show HN: FFmpeg in plain English – LLM-assisted FFmpeg in the browser

    I found that I am using ChatGPT more and more to get the FFmpeg command I need, but the process can be a bit tedious: copy-pasting commands, dealing with input file names and locat…

    .avi file just shows a spinner in place of the preview, never finishes loading .mkv files are not enabled in the file picker, if I select one anyway it loads, but the export hangs …

    The site claims "versatile codec support" but I couldn't get it work with anything except the most vanilla h264 files. (though as I am working on a similar product I am aware that …

    You don't need to keep the video files in memory, it's enough to have the javascript File object and then you can read the packets you need on the fly. This way the app's memory us…

    It seems to me that the demonstration is calculated in sRGB space, so with non-linear brightness values and I suspect that most of the unnaturalness of the smear is due to that. To…

    I've been having the same issue with an app. Random rejections with a single line copy-pasted from the (genuine) feature list in the app description. In this case the lines just st…

    I use a WebAssembly build of FFmpeg to extract the streams and packets from the video files and as a fallback for some codecs. But most of the decoding/encoding is done with WebCod…

    I've built the UI library myself, it's written in C++ and is drawing with OpenGL. (translated to WebGL by emscripten) Javascript is only used for the browser-related parts. The poi…

    WebCodecs is missing. They say it's "worth prototyping" [1] but I don't know whether they are working on it. 1: https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/

    For people who don't want to sign up but still like the idea of a video editor running in a browser (that doesn't upload anything), I am working on an alternative: https://vidmix.a…

    Yes, the shortcomings of the html video tag are quite unfortunate. Just some very small improvements would make it a lot more useful. One other issue I found at the time I was look…

    In Chrome and Edge you can use WebCodecs to decode and display video frames one-by-one. (this is what I used for the video editor at https://vidmix.app ) In other browsers you coul…

    The biggest problem is not supporting h264 encoding for the output. Also as the preview playback is done with html video elements and those can't be started at a precise enough tim…

    At the moment I don't have plans to make it open source. I suspect that the drag and drop limit of 5 may be a browser/OS limitation, now I couldn't reproduce this but will look out…
