## What it is
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
