Node.js and npm (8+)
React (18.2+)

Project Setup

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/Tonel/video-editor-wasm-react
cd video-editor-wasm-react

Install Dependencies

npm install

Run the Application

npm start

Open http://localhost:3000 to view the app in your browser

What We Are Building

simple react wasm video editor

This project showcases a web-based video editor built with React and WebAssembly. Users can:

Upload a video
Trim the video using a slider
Convert the trimmed portion to a GIF
Download the resulting GIF

Technologies Used

React: A popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces, making it easy to create interactive UIs.
WebAssembly (Wasm): A binary instruction format that enables high-performance applications in the browser, allowing us to run ffmpeg in the browser.
ffmpeg.wasm: A WebAssembly port of FFmpeg, enabling video and audio processing directly in web applications.
Ant Design: A popular React UI framework used for the upload button and slider components.
Video-React**:** A React component for playing videos, providing a simple way to include video playback in our editor.

These technologies were chosen to create a responsive and efficient video editor that runs entirely in the browser without the need for a backend server.

For a detailed step-by-step tutorial on how this video editor was built, please refer to the blog post.

Commercial Alternative

If you are looking for a fully-featured commercial video editor, check out our Video Editor SDK for the Web. It is based on WASM and WebCodecs and runs entirely in the browser, providing powerful video editing features, including cropping, trimming, filters, brightness, color adjustments, and more.

Enjoy building your video editor!
