#2* VM is upgraded - we're back :) *
Hi HN,
I love new web tech, and was excited to see ffmpeg ported to WebAssembly so decided to build a free tool that uses it to:
- Clip/trim videos - Overlay text and images - Resize - Create GIFs or convert to a web-friendly MP4
All of this done in your browser, without ever uploading a file to a web server! (* Except Safari, it doesn't support SharedArrayBuffers)
A little more:
I've been building a video creation app with my cofounder, and being a 2-man team, we wanted to think outside of the box on an "eng as marketing" strategy.
As a techy on a budget, ffmpeg.wasm sounded like the perfect library to make a powerful free tool without requiring a ton of server resources.
So we looked up some common tasks people want to do with videos and set out to build a quick tool to accomplish them.
I think there's a ton more we can build into this - it's been about a 2 week project, but thought it was cool enough to do an initial release now.
Hope you like it, and have suggestions on what we can improve!

#3"Error establishing a database connection" is what I'm getting. Hug of death?
EDIT: working again now, looks pretty cool!

Uggh yes. Which is awesome, but... damn! haha
Might need to delete and repost later?

#5sounds cool. wonder in practice how this will work out with patent encumbered video formats.

Very cool! I see that SharedArrayBuffers are enabled again, after they were disable due to spectre!?
I have previously tinkered with ffmpeg in the browser and implemented a workaround[1] for the (then) missing pthread support. It turned out quite clunky, but worked.

Thanks! DO made it kind of easy to upgrade the virtual machine haha.

#9Awesome idea, it is hard to try for now but it could be very useful.
I especially like simple clip and resize feature but can't try them right now...

Sorry if you were having trouble because the website was down. We upgraded the server and it seems to be doing a little better!
But also get it if you mean you're not in a good place to test the tool at the moment haha
