About this project

Kookaburra Cut is a video studio designed for macOS (Apple Silicon) that focuses on deterministic rendering. It utilizes a react-three-fiber WebGL canvas to render animated text, graphics, and 3D elements, exporting video frame-by-frame via an ffmpeg sidecar to ensure that two exports of the same project are byte-identical. Key capabilities include: - AI-Authored Scenes: Integrates an embedded Claude Code terminal that allows users to author and rewrite scenes using a typed TSX toolkit. - Deterministic Export: Uses a manual clock to step through frames, supporting H.264, H.265, and ProRes formats. - Device Mockups: Features 3D handset models for displaying video and images with customizable camera orbits. - Multi-Format Support: Allows a single project to be exported in various aspect ratios (16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5) with platform-specific presets. - Local-First Architecture: Runs entirely locally via Tauri 2 and WKWebView, with no required accounts or telemetry. - File-Based Projects: Projects are stored as folders containing JSON and TSX files, making them Git-friendly.
