If you are building any kind of tutorial/user content site, this could be quite a benefit for users + moderators.

#82Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's not how things work: when you are hiring a software engineer/developer, you are not looking for someone to produce code by the spec (a "codemonkey"), but to question any assumptions and demands before commiting to them. I wouldn't expect a "business exec" to worry about download/upload speeds (though I'd note that the claim here is that it's all locally running, so inefficient memory usage is likely a bigger d…
The vast majority of software and businesses are replicative. If you only hire devs working on unique businesses or those with a sound business case you won't find many. They'll probably be too busy running successful businesses.
Who said anything about "unique businesses"?
A developer that simply (and only) blindly builds what they are told is rarely a part of a successful team. This translates to technical implementation plans too, but I am highlighting that if you want to get hired, you should showcase how you balance opposing priorities, requirements and time.
And once you do, you'll be judged on them.

#83Sorry for responding to relatively unimportant usability details rather than to the core of what must be a tremendously difficult project. But as one purpose of this app is to showcase your work, perhaps my feedback isn't completely useless and certainly not meant to offend. When I open the home page, I see almost nothing right out of the gate. There's no contrast at all. It's all tiny dark symbols on a vast black ba…
I just want to push back on the contrast part -- you'd be right for most apps. But video editing requires a dark interface with low contrast, so that it doesn't disturb how you see the video itself. If you're working on a relatively dark nighttime scene, then bright UX icons would be kind of blindingly bright and impair your ability to work with the footage. Just look at the interface for something like Adobe Premier…
My eyesight is fine. What I'm thinking is that you can't do low contrast, very fine lines (1px) and very small text all at the same time. The lower the contrast, the broader the strokes have to be.
But as I said, the contrast may well be sufficient on a MacBook display while being unreadable on the lowish end monitor connected to my Mac mini. It's certainly not a setup that anyone would do professional video editing on, but casual users may well try.
Good point about the glare though.

#84Hey this is awesome! I'd love to hear more about some big issues you had, and how you solved them. For example, you mentioned using the webcodecs API for quick rendering. What do you mean by that? What was the slower alternative? Also when did you choose ffmpeg Vs webcodecs API and what were the differences? A lot questions, sorry just really impressed!
So basically webcodecs API is the best thing to happen in video processing, decoding and encoding are the most demanding parts of rendering, honestly there werent any good alternatives at all and If it wasnt for webcodecs api I wouldnt even bother trying to do it fully clientside, it would be slow and all, here is a bit about the alternatives: https://github.com/w3c/webcodecs/blob/main/explainer.md none of those alte…
Thanks for the input! Some time ago I wanted to make some simple canvas animation into a video (output of some sensor data), but the animation should take about 5++ minutes to play, real time to the sensor values.
I found no way of really exporting it in browser without either rendering it real time (so having to wait forever) or through some asm ports (still slow). So this is better now?

if i built this and an employer asked me why my project wasn't competitive with leading open source video editing software, i would probably cut the interview short. the vast majority of developers build stuff like this to learn and challenge themselves (which op basically says in the description), only a small fraction are attempting to build a viable product. i'd expect the interviewer to understand this dynamic and not grill me on the target audience for my toy project

#87I often close tabs by mistake, and there doesn't seem to be a confirmation dialog when closing the tab (or otherwise navigating away from it) while I'm actively working on an unsaved project. Is this something that could be added?
I think I would be able to add that, also your project is saved every move, either when you move some clip on timeline or on canvas/player
Automatic saving seems like the best option. Then you can always just re-open the tab. Undo is better than confirmation.

#88As a video editor by trade I am very, very excited to try this out tomorrow! Got a very simple cut I need to do and it’s 25fps (zoom recording) so good timing.
Re: Show HN: Open-Source Video Editor Web App
#89I struggled to use it but it seems like it has potential and I starred it. I love how you land us right into the editing experience. Maybe there's a way to add some kind of short fully featured demo video when a fresh visitor lands? I made an open source fully static web data science studio ( https://ohayo.computer/ ) and it made a big difference to have some simple templates on a fresh session. I hadn't thought of a…

Hadn't heard of this (https://kdenlive.org/en/).
Thank you!

#90Anybody know of a GUI video editor that runs on Linux and has a the ability to crop videos as easily as GIMP/photoshop does? Most of what I've seen is either really clunky/cumbersome to use, has non-GUI bugs/design issues, doesn't claim to have a good crop UI, or it's that one dumbass who doesn't realize that trimming is not cropping.
