Hello.

I'm embarking on a project to build a web-based video editor! The goal is to create a tool that simplifies video creation and editing entirely within the browser. Think Screenflow, but accessible to everyone directly on the web. This project is driven by my own needs for creating device demos, screencasts, and other videos. I've already made some progress (check out the demo!), but there's a lot more to do. I'll be exploring existing web technologies to record audio/video, manipulate content (watermarks, filters, overlays), and output in various formats. This isn't about building a massive commercial product, but rather about understanding what's possible and empowering others to create great videos using the open web.

I've created a Progressive Web App using FFMPEG.js that applies device frames to Android screen recordings. I've also streamlined the ffmpeg.js build process. This opens up exciting possibilities for building powerful web apps for audio and video manipulation. Many existing web-based video tools are outdated and ad-heavy. I'm interested in creating smaller, focused PWAs, each performing a specific task efficiently. I'm planning to build several apps based on this, such as video trimming, format conversion, watermarking, resizing, and splicing. The codebase from my Device Frames project provides a good starting point. I invite others to collaborate on this effort.
