I like the promise, but the hill is very steep and I don't see much on delivery here. Very hopeful, but I would rather see this kind of thing launch significantly further than where it is at. This appears to be a good base, now let's see it again when there is Text support, animations, transitions, filters, etc.

We actually already support text, transitions, and animation of basic properties as well as some filters. I would be interested to hear more about your use case and which capabilities you felt were missing from what you saw.

Ah I believe I should have clarified browser support. Safari is not very well supported. Have you tried chrome?

So Safari doesn't work, Firefox doesn't work. It's professional video editing, right in the ~~browser~~ Chrome window.

What is the problem with targeting the most prevalent rendering engine?

This is absolutely not an open source license https://polyformproject.org/licenses/noncommercial/1.0.0/ It violates point 1,5 and 6 of the open source definition https://opensource.org/osd

You are absolutely right. I just changed the license to ELv2.

Nice change!

Free and open source NLE video editor powered by WGPU, WASM, WebGPU, Rust, and Tanstack Start

If you want free, Resolve will run circles around whatever open source thing you can find. No need for WGPU, it just runs the GPU.

Sadly, things like this just put a bad taste in my mouth about the whole concept of running code in a browser like this. It's buggy as hell. It doesn't run in all browsers. And I really have to ask why we think the browser is the place to run this. We've moved from Java and now to WASM in a browser, but only some browsers.

+1 for Davinci Resolve. I used the free version for years (Windows and Mac versions) before finally picking up a copy of Studio which is still very reasonably priced and is a flat fee.
