Wild that apps used to be completely local, no accounts, no uploads, and we're back to that as a value prop.
Agreed but I guess at the same time those who spend money to develop software need to find ways to monetise I just wish they were not so predatory. Everything is a subscription now siphoning money out of users on a monthly basis.

Dynamically and statically linked libs is hilarious in the context of webassembly running in the browser.
You can have multiple WASM modules communicating with each other (though you would probably need extra interop code?), or statically link them into a single module, the concepts work mostly the same
I went down the same path for videotobe.com, fully client-side with ffmpeg.wasm, and it fell over on longer videos. The memory ceiling and encode times pushed me to a cloud processing pipeline.
You've managed to solve both, the WebCodecs plus Pixi plus ffmpeg.wasm split looks like the right decomposition in hindsight.I processed 3+ hrs of media using VidStudio and it held up. Nicely done!

Thank you for pointing this out, to be completely honest, I did not consider licensing because the website started as a collection of tools I built to run locally and get into video/audio codecs then I realised it is already a decent collection of tools that other people might want to use too. But I will be making the needed changes to comply fully tonight. At least I comply with this: `Do not misspell FFmpeg (two ca…
Wonder this guy is doing it? Or is it also not open sourced? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42207002
PS: i am that guy :-)
This is so cool - will try it out. Pure browser based video editing is ambitious. Are you using Remotion ?
I recently did something similar but as a Mac app. It sounds like a similar stack, but distributed as an app. FFmpeg (LGPL compilation). I haven't tried Pixi.js, looks interesting. I guess it was good for this. Have you looked at remotion? I found them good for somethings, but ended up using Safari for rendering (instead of remotion's chrome-based rendering) because app packaging was easier that way. https://www.lore…
I love no accounts and no cloud a lot! Wondering if it support subtitle and transcript? It would be helpful for non-native speaker use case. Also, can you talk more about the use case difference between VidStudio vs. Finalcut/Imovie/Premiere? I am quite interested. Thanks
looks great. any plans of abstracting these functions with an LLM integration?
