Hey everyone, I’ve been working on a project called PulpCut, and I’ve finally decided to put it out into the world. It’s an online video editor that runs in the browser. The original plan was much bigger, and honestly it still is. There are a lot of features I want to add, and right now I’d say only about 20% of the full vision is implemented. But I reached the point where it felt better to launch early, let people try it, and learn from real usage instead of endlessly polishing in isolation. What makes it different from many other editors is that I’m not trying to make just another “trim, add text, export” tool. The goal is to build something that feels like a real creative workstation in the browser: fast, flexible, local-first when needed, cloud-enabled when useful, and open to both visual editing and more technical workflows. A few things that make PulpCut different: *Runs in the browser - no heavy desktop install required. *Local-first workflow - files can stay on your machine for privacy. *Cloud sync support - the same project can be continued across devices. *Client-side export - a lot of processing and export happens directly in the browser instead of sending everything to a remote render farm. *Code-as-video - you can create or customise TSX-based video templates with Remotion directly inside the editor. *AI subject segmentation in-browser - select people/objects in frames without needing a server round trip for every interaction. *3D text support - extruded and animated text running with Three.js in-browser. *Advanced text/caption system - rich styling, transcript-based workflows, animated caption effects. *Keyframe animation system - animate properties across different clip types. *Rich audio tools - equalizer, panning, trimming dead air, waveform-based work. *Multi-format export - video, audio-only, GIF, different resolutions/frame rates/bitrates. The bigger vision is to combine: 1. traditional timeline editing 2. motion/design-style tools 3. AI-assisted features 4. programmable/video-as-code workflows Most editors are strong in one or two of these areas. I want PulpCut to gradually bring them together in one product. Some of the currently implemented or actively explored features include: * AI subject segmentation * code-driven video generation * 3D text * browser-native text-to-speech * non-destructive color grading * transcript generation * speaker diarization * smart canvas controls * template system * mobile-responsive editing * PWA support A big reason I’m posting here is that I’d really like honest feedback from people who actually edit, build creative tools, or just like trying unusual products early. I’m especially interested in: * whether the concept feels useful * which features seem genuinely interesting vs gimmicky * what feels confusing or weak in the current version * what kind of workflow would make you actually switch from your current tools, even for specific use cases This is very much an early launch. It is not “finished,” not fully polished, and definitely not feature-complete. But I think there is enough here to show the direction. I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback, criticism, or ideas.
