About this app
Professional Video Editing, Zero Installation.
Video editing used to mean choosing between downloading massive, resource-heavy desktop software or paying for expensive cloud-based subscriptions where you have to wait hours to upload your footage.
OpenCut fundamentally changes the game. It is a powerful, open-source video editor that runs entirely within your web browser, utilizing the full power of your local machine.
Why OpenCut is Revolutionary
- Absolute Privacy: Unlike typical cloud editors, OpenCut does not upload your video files to a remote server. Your raw footage never leaves your computer, ensuring maximum security and zero upload times.
- Powered by WebAssembly: By compiling complex media processing engines into WebAssembly (Wasm), OpenCut runs near-native speed directly in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. It leverages your local CPU and memory.
Getting Started with OpenCut
Because OpenCut is a Progressive Web App (PWA), there is no .exe or .dmg file to download.
- Launch the App: Click the "Launch Web App" button above to open the editor in a new tab.
- Import Media: Drag and drop your video and audio files directly onto the timeline.
- Edit & Export: Cut, trim, and arrange your clips. When you are done, the rendering happens locally in your browser and instantly downloads the final
.mp4to your hard drive.
Pro Tip: Most modern browsers allow you to "Install" OpenCut as a standalone window. Look for the install icon in your URL bar to pin it directly to your taskbar or dock!
System Requirements
