This will only handle toy videos, given the browser limitations in sandboxing and 3D rendering. Not really sure why someone would use this instead of a proper native application.
Same argument was made about Figma vs native tools, didn't age well.

You are absolutely right. I just changed the license to ELv2.
As far as I know the most restrictive open source license is the AGPL, with a CLA that allows for commercial dual licensing.

#83Free 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…

The goal here is not to replace Premiere Pro across every professional workflow. But it is also not intended to be a toy editor. Modern browser and GPU capabilities are already sufficient for a large category of practical video editing tasks. We are not targeting blockbuster scale 8K movies at least for now, but we are targeting real jobs people do every day across social, commercial, and non-commercial video product…
A chrome tab still has 4gb max memory limit right ?
Also, video files are never fully decoded. We use the browser's native WebCodecs on demand. Only a small buffered window gets decoded and sent to the compositor. So it can even handle long 4K videos.

#89Is it feature-parity with Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro? If not, then it's not professional.
