OpenCut is a free, open-source video editor designed as an alternative to CapCut, offering privacy-focused editing with timeline-based functionality, multi-track support, and real-time preview. Built with Next.js and React, it runs on web, desktop, and mobile platforms without watermarks or subscriptions. The project emphasizes keeping videos on the user's device and provides all basic editing features that are now paywalled in CapCut.

OpenCut-app/OpenCut: The open-source CapCut alternative

For a dev-centric community I’m surprised how many people don’t know how to go to their Github and get the app.
I spinned it up to test their capabilities and let just say they have a long way to go before they become a viable alternative. Right now they probably sit at 5% the capabilities of the app they’re trying to replace but hopefully with the attention it’s getting, that will change soon

I popped my email in there but after submit the input just flashed so I have no idea whether it worked or not. Fingers crossed that it did.

Looks very cool, I signed up so 🤞🏻🤞🏻
