Hey HN,I'm a 16-year-old in high school from Hong Kong. Often, I find myself having to edit videos, whether it may be for school assignments or creating content for the stuff I'm building.However, I've come to the realization that video editing and creating high-quality videos is really difficult and tedious.For beginners, it takes hours to learn how to use traditional editing software to edit great videos. There's a huge learning curve. For pros, implementing those high-quality animations for your videos requires a lot of time to create and customize.Personally, for school homework and social media video preparation, I need a tailor-made, powerful enough, but not too overkilled video editor to create videos quickly with high quality. Existing tools such as iMovie, DaVinci Resolve, and Adobe Premiere Pro are great but too heavy-duty.That's why I built VideoFast, an easier alternative to creating and editing videos.1. Pick a beautifully premade animation 2. Customize that animation fully to your needs 3. Repeat - you then have an epic video 4. Export, and voila.I designed and developed this video editor based on my needs, other KOLs', and the needs of professionals that I connected with via social media while building VideoFast in the last couple of months while being a full-time high school student taking AP exams - hope you like VideoFast.Please feel free to give me any feedback - I'm a high schooler and first time building a startup and launching a product, so I still have a lot to learn. Thanks.Rexan

Hey HN! These last months I have been working with some LLMs and I was encouraged to launch a video editor. Today I want to introduce you to VideoEditorAI.com, a web tool that allows you to edit and create videos using Text2Video-zero and Django.

Pricing is too high.

Hi, I built a tool in which you upload a raw video it will automatically edit it.It will do things like removing silences, adding zoom at certain portion of the content, automatically adding the titles on the top and adding sound effects.I hate when people without sufficient knowledge gain lots of influence on social platforms because they put lot of content out. While people with knowledge are not able to put content.One of the reason is friction in generating content so I want to tackle the editing part of content generation.Do try it and let me know how you feel. Here is the youtube demo https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hU6fbimeiMs
Hi, I made an online video editor with some AI features. For example you can make pretty realistic sounding AI voiceovers or create subtitles automatically. Also you can remove the background of a video without having to use a greenscreen. Let me know what you think about it. I'm always improving it and looking for new feature ideas:)
Couldn't upload videos, unsure of issue.

Hello Friends, I have built a new video editor app that generates ffmpeg commands to get the edited video. This gives you flexibility to use it in scripts etc. for your video editing workflows and makes editing tasks smooth by letting you visually adjust video elements that are difficult to adjust in commandline.Demo is here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSvazNBEfTcLink is here- https://newbeelearn.com/tools/videoeditor/Features are- video, image, text editing- adjustable timeline and layers- adjust position, size , alignment, font size color, borders etc.- quick info of image, video files- preview player to get the idea of edited video with play, pause, seek.Limitations are- Audio files(mp3) are currently not supported though audio inside mp4 will work- player is not frame accurate it just gives u close enough approximation.- file paths are not supported due to browser's security limitations.- I have only tested happy path so there would be many bugs but it should work for simple tasksOthers- Completely free- No registration/login etc.- Works online does not requires any installation- Works offline after first load- Works locally does not requires serverBackground is i generally have one off video tasks and i don't mind using ffmpeg for it but recently i had to create a bunch of product videos and it was difficult to get text etc. right on commandline, i tried kdenlive and openshot as well but couldn't figure out how to something simple like adding a logo and text to it(i guess i am dumb) so i created this new app to suit my workflow

Suggestions include a scene detector for splitting files and optimizing chapter creation. The light mode UI was criticized as non-professional.
Users criticized the app for its increased size (350KB), awkward UX for connections, lack of self-hosting and open-source options, difficulty working with ffmpeg, playback issues post-upload, limited advanced features in Handbrake, audio issues in cut videos and previews, complex gst-launch usage, persistent file format problems, unsuitable scene detector for TV shows, unclear chapter naming process, and a light mode UI that appears unprofessional.
We are a short-form content agency, where we will create as many videos as you want on a subscription basis.
Hello HN,Video content is more popular than ever, but the toolkit for creating such content is a bit behind. You usually have to rely on a server for rendering whenever you want to create a video editing project in the browser. This means uploading content to a server, coding complex filters and effects, and more.My friend and I spent a year developing an SDK that handles all these complexities and offers an easy-to-use interface for developers. The SDK works entirely in the browser, manages memory efficiently so it can run even on a 7-year-old Android device, supports GLSL effects and transitions, handles captions, and much more.We also created a custom video editor UI interface using the SDK to showcase its speed and flexibility. You can see the video editor embedded on our landing page: https://rendley.com.As for the tech stack, the SDK was built using TypeScript, Pixi.js, C++, FFmpeg WASM, and WebCodecs. The UI interface was created using Stencil.js and MobX.The SDK is called Rendley SDK and it is live on npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@rendley/sdkTo get started, follow this guide: https://docs.rendley.com/installationIf you want to embed the pre-made interface, follow this guide, it’s literally a few lines of code: https://docs.rendley.com/video-editorIf you have any questions about the product or any feedback, feel free to write them below, and I’ll be more than happy to answer them.
