Hey, I had to rework a few things to try and address this issue and that exposed another bigger problem so thank you very much for flagging this. I released a fix primarily for chrome but firefox seems to be a lot harder to solve but I wil

Wasm ffmpeg is much slower for sure and multithreading for wasm ffmpeg is buggy you need to control threads per pipeline step to get it working.

It is on my to do list to add automatic subtitles. The 3 editors you mentioned are backed by cloud juggernauts that either asked already or will ask for a perpetual licence to any content you process with them because they can and they als

Hey this is on my todo list and will make it a point to get back to you here once it is fixed. The main issue is that codec support is patchy most muxer software that I found has gaps in codec support and I had no clue but the codec names

Wow this is really cool thanks a lot for sharing I was a bit demotivated from all the errors I have on sentry ahahha. I did give ffmpeg wasm my best shot, even trying worker fs to deal with the memory problems but yeah a lot of effort for

Yeah you are right about the wasm issues with video apps. The editor itself relies fully on web codecs and the rest of the tools are halfway migrated from ffmpeg wasm anyways. I did not look into any other alternatives for ffmpeg thinking

Good idea. Once I am through the licensing ordeal I have a giant stack of errors to tackle which should increase usability.

Thanks for encouragement. You are right ffmpeg-wasm doesn't really cut it for long videos but I have pivoted to web/audio codecs now, and there I can work based on streams at least for video. So once I harden the tools a bit more

Thank you, I guess I won't be fixing any bugs tonight but at least I will figure out how to comply. I appreciate the help for real!

Tbh I don't know, will check them out. I did not know they existed, thank you for sharing them!

So FFmpeg is part of the website in general but it is not used in the editor itself. I did built on top of the Video Codec APIs and ofc a muxer library like mp4box.js

Thanks for sharing. Will look into it

Agreed but I guess at the same time those who spend money to develop software need to find ways to monetise I just wish they were not so predatory. Everything is a subscription now siphoning money out of users on a monthly basis.

Thank you for the encouragement. Regarding the track manipulation I have not fully cracked it yet so you can't move clips between tracks yet and track reordering didn't cross my mind but will look into it. Regarding transforms o

I never maintained an open source project and not sure how to even do it properly. I am also not sure how much effort would I have to put to an open source project. I imagine I would need to collaborate with a pretty much anyone who has an

Thank you for flagging this, indeed you are right. I do have a long list of problems to go through. The editor mostly relies on the browser Audio/Video codecs which I learned after trying FFmpeg out. They have wide support but also a b

Thank you for pointing this out, to be completely honest, I did not consider licensing because the website started as a collection of tools I built to run locally and get into video/audio codecs then I realised it is already a decent c

Private, in browser only video processing - https://vidstudio.app It is based on FFmpeg WASM. Working with the multithreaded build was challenging and buggy but eventually by controlling how many threads are spawned in each step
