Show HN: A Video Editing SDK That Runs in the Browser

Hello HN,

Video content is more popular than ever, but the toolkit for creating such content is a bit behind. You usually have to rely on a server for rendering whenever you want to create a video editing project in the browser. This means uploading content to a server, coding complex filters and effects, and more.

My friend and I spent a year developing an SDK that handles all these complexities and offers an easy-to-use interface for developers. The SDK works entirely in the browser, manages memory efficiently so it can run even on a 7-year-old Android device, supports GLSL effects and transitions, handles captions, and much more.

We also created a custom video editor UI interface using the SDK to showcase its speed and flexibility. You can see the video editor embedded on our landing page: https://rendley.com.

As for the tech stack, the SDK was built using TypeScript, Pixi.js, C++, FFmpeg WASM, and WebCodecs. The UI interface was created using Stencil.js and MobX.

The SDK is called Rendley SDK and it is live on npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@rendley/sdk

To get started, follow this guide: https://docs.rendley.com/installation

If you want to embed the pre-made interface, follow this guide, it’s literally a few lines of code: https://docs.rendley.com/video-editor
