I've been using Kapwing for similar | purposes (https://www.kapwing.com/) and this reminds me of | Kapwing in its earlier days. Definitely a bit basic without all | the effects and overlays, but looks like a nice MVP. | | As someone who used to run my own video sharing site in the | 2000s, it's super cool seeing how videos can just render so | quickly in my browser and be moved around. | stevenicr wrote: | scrolled up and down twice looking for 'privacy policy' and | 'about us / contact' | | Did notice third time scroll that look that a heading for | 'security' seemed to explain.. | | contact and about us so as to see jurisdiction / trust/. | | I guess this could be ported as a web app / home screen icon | thing? | | I'd love to connect this with mediapress/buddypress/wp | | and if I could find a way to push a list to a self hosted server | app that would run a browser on the server to pull via youtubedl | and spit out some mp3s to collect and listen later. | | sounds great! | rho4 wrote: | Almost gave up trying when I finally realized I had to click that | tiny green plus button, which only appears on hover. Looking | promising, with lots of room for usability improvements. | Johnyma22 wrote: | "Currently we only support Chrome or Chromium based browsers" | | Please support Firefox. | machello13 wrote: | Ah, so it's a Chrome-based video editor, not a web-based one. | navanchauhan wrote: | It uses ffmpeg (compiled to WASM) and currently only Chromium | browsers support SharedArrayBuffers. | | SAFs were disabled on all major browsers after the Spectre | exploit iirc. Slowly but steadily they'll patch and bring the | feature back, and it'll automatically be compatible with those | browsers then. | | Edit: Apparently Firefox does have SharedArrayBuffer | support[0], but needs special headers. | | [0] https://caniuse.com/sharedarraybuffer | lights0123 wrote: | Chrome needs the same headers too since Chrome 91, as it was | violating CORS without requiring them. | arkadiyt wrote: | It does not require CORS (cross origin resource sharing), | it requires COEP/COOP. | mogstripe wrote: | I made a similar site and it works fine in firefox after the | headers are added: https://editclips.online/ | [deleted] | lazyresearcher wrote: | Firefox does support SharedArrayBuffers again | https://caniuse.com/mdn- | javascript_builtins_sharedarraybuffe... | navanchauhan wrote: | Quick question, what's the difference between the | SharedArrayBuffers you linked and the ones I linked in my | edit | jchw wrote: | One of them was imported from MDN (and is more accurate, | at least in this case.) | | https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/09/caniuse-and-mdn-compat- | dat... | mentos wrote: | Don't have the time to create an account right now, its probably | a lot of work to delay account creation but might probably worth | considering. | AndrewHart wrote: | Looks promising. One feature I'd need is ability to change the | resolution to vertical - the same as the video I'm inputting. | yashasolutions wrote: | Nice piece of work. Not sure to which audience it caters but good | luck to its creators. | | Unrelated to this project, a similar open source tool kit is | definitely missing in the general video content creation | landscape... | MR4D wrote: | Dumb question, but if everything happens on my computer, and it's | 100% free, then why do I need an account? | | It seems like one of these is not like the other. | azangru wrote: | Yeah. | | Compare this with Subtitle Horse [0], a fantastic web-based | subtitles editor that loads user's video to the browser storage | (I guess? it certainly predates the file system access api), | and does not require an account. | | [0] -- https://subtitle-horse.com | kfarr wrote: | Yes subtitle horse is a lesser known hero for video | accessibility. Been around a long time, I remember | integrating the old flash based version with a video app | almost a decade ago! | pininja wrote: | It saves your project files in the account. I'd prefer they use | Chrome's new file system API or just allow download/upload of | save files, so that projects don't need an account. | | The video trimmer and mp3 extractor don't require accounts. | bredren wrote: | It's final rendering performed in browser or on the server? If | so, how does this site remain free? | | Under what conditions are video and audio uploaded to the site? | wbobeirne wrote: | The homepage says the videos never leave the browser. | antjanus wrote: | I often see the whole product free like this -- and then | pricing comes about for collaborative features, cloud storage, | cloud processing, etc. | | So I'm guessing that's how it'll remain free -- as long as you | use your own storage space and computing power, you can see use | it for free. | jjcm wrote: | It's a webasm compiled ffmpeg that does all the heavy lifting. | Everything is client side. Server is just sending the webpage | and saving metadata for the project files. Pretty easy to host | something like this at a $1/1k mau level. | eatonphil wrote: | No info on pricing? Or I cannot find it. | layoutIfNeeded wrote: | "And best of all, it's 100% free" | marcodiego wrote: | As in beer? | eatonphil wrote: | Whoops! Thanks. Having a Pricing link in the header leading | to a section saying that again would also help. | plyptepe wrote: | I feel like having a Pricing link in the header would | indicate that it's not free. The "100% free" part is in | bold and there is just a few lines of text. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2021-06-06 23:00 UTC)
