New Free Online Video Editor: No Watermarks, No Registration Needed

Free, open-source online video editor with no watermarks or ads

From Hacker News Original Article Hacker News Discussion

Clip JS is a free, open-source online video editor that works entirely in the browser without requiring downloads, registrations, or watermarks.

Why it matters: Users can quickly edit videos privately without uploading files or dealing with ads and sign-ups.

The big picture: Browser-based video editing tools are becoming more powerful and accessible thanks to technologies like ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly.

The other side: Some users request improvements like drag-and-drop, better trimming controls, and clear privacy policies regarding video handling.

Commenters say: Many praise its speed and ease of use but suggest UI tweaks, privacy clarifications, and additional features for enhanced workflow.
