I recently open-sourced Twick, a React-based video editor and player library that brings modern video editing features to the browser. It's designed to be embedded directly into React apps, making it easier to integrate timelines, effects, transitions, captions, and basic animation controls.
What's unique is that the core is modular and supports AI functions (like auto-captioning or smart edits) that can be deployed as Dockerized cloud functions. The idea is to abstract away heavy editing workflows while remaining customizable for different use cases.
I’d love feedback from the HN community—especially around performance, architecture, or features you'd expect in a developer-first video editing SDK. The project is actively maintained and open to contributions.
