About this project

OpenCut is a free and open-source video editor available for web, desktop, and mobile platforms. It is currently being rewritten from the ground up using a Rust core to provide cross-platform support from a single codebase. The existing stable version (opencut-classic) can be accessed at opencut.app. The rewritten version is available at new.opencut.app while it remains in development. Planned features of the upcoming release include: - An Editor API for extensibility - First-class third-party plugin support through a plugin-first architecture - Desktop, mobile, and browser clients from one codebase - MCP server integration for AI agent compatibility - Headless mode for automation and batch rendering - A scripting tab directly within the editor Development setup requires [proto](https://moonrepo.dev/proto) for toolchain management. Run `proto use` to install pinned tools, then `moon run web:dev` for the web app (localhost:5173), `moon run api:dev` for the backend (localhost:8787), or `moon run desktop:dev` for the desktop client. The project is licensed under MIT and sponsored in part by fal.ai. Community discussion occurs on Discord. External contributions are currently paused while the architecture is being designed.
