I’m building a React-based video editing SDK for apps that generate or enhance video content — especially AI-generated ones like explainers, reels, and product showcases.
This SDK solves that by embedding a full editing layer in your frontend.
What’s included:
Timeline editor (trim, split, sync media)
Live canvas editing
Styled, AI-generated captions
Animations & effects
Media utils (resize, extract, compress)
AWS Lambda export & S3 support
Ideal for AI video platforms, social automation tools, and product video builders.
Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or feature suggestions.
Also, curious how you’re thinking about handling heavy lifting for video exports or AI features (like auto-captions, scene detection, etc.). Will those run in the browser, or do you plan to offload some of that to the cloud (like with your AWS Lambda and S3 export)?
And one more thing – are you planning to support version control for video edits? Could make it easier for people to try different versions or go back and forth.
For tasks like video export, auto-captions, and scene detection, we’re offloading most of that to cloud functions using AWS Lambda, with exports going directly to S3.
We are maintaining a full edit history within the editor so users can undo, redo, and even explore different versions of their video as they work.
