Very cool! I assume it uses WebCodec VideoEncoder to encode in browser, maybe with a wasm ffmpeg fallback? How reliable/easy to use have you found that?

Encoding the video in the browser is on the roadmap, but currently we stream the frames one by one to an ffmpeg backend process and concatenate them into a video there. This has been very reliable and fast so far. I've only just started looking at WebCodec, but it seems to be more challenging, especially as most of the APIs aren't supported by some of the mainstream browsers, so as you said, some fallback will be necessary.

Looks promising - I've been using Shotstack's visual editor to create video templates but keep running into limitations. Looks like Revideo has an "editor" that allows previews but not edits? Is editing through the GUI on the roadmap?

Thanks for the feedback! Justus here, I am one of the co-creators of Revideo. Initially, we intended Revideo to be a developer tool and not necessarily something that could be modified through a user interface. However, we've heard this feedback many times at this point, so we're definitely considering building editing capabilities into the UI. One challenge here is to find a way to keep the UI changes and the code in sync.

Are there commercial use cases for this?

Certainly! You can pretty much build full video editors with Revideo. There are many companies with video-editing at the core of their product that could have been built with us (think veed.io, invideo.io or the editor part of www.synthesia.io). We're thinking about building a template in this direction so people have a starting point when building these kinds of apps. In terms of video automation, we've seen people build apps for marketing and enterprise learning. One marketing tech company uses Revideo to generate video ads from their customers product catalogue.
