OpenVideo Editor is a client-side web video editor built with React, Next.js 15, and the OpenVideo engine (PixiJS/WebCodecs), serving as a Capcut/Canva-style editor and SaaS starter kit. It supports multi-track timelines, shader-based effects and transitions, asset uploads to cloud storage, and local MP4 export without server-side rendering.

Use cases

• build a browser-based video editing SaaS
• edit videos online without uploading to a server
• create a Capcut or Canva clone
• trim and split video clips on a multi-track timeline
• export videos to MP4 directly in the browser
• add transitions and effects between video clips
• manage media assets with S3 or Cloudflare R2 uploads

When to choose

• you want a customizable open-source web video editor foundation
• you need client-side rendering to avoid server export costs
• you're building a video-editing SaaS on Next.js and React
• you want hardware-accelerated export via WebCodecs

When to avoid

• you need a fully permissive open-source license for a company over 3 employees
• you need server-side or native desktop video rendering
• you want a finished end-user product rather than a starter kit
• you require non-React or non-Next.js stacks
