videoeditor
An open-source web video editor combining multi-track timelines with Gemini-powered AI edit generation.
Edit multi-track video timelines in your browser using React, Remotion, and Gemini AI assistance.
This is a web-based video editing application built with React, FastAPI, and Remotion that provides a browser UI similar to CapCut or Canva. It targets developers and creators who want to self-host a web editor with AI-driven timing and layout generation.
What it is
The tool provides an unlimited multi-track timeline with real-time browser playback, layer snapping, and Remotion-based export rendering. It integrates Google's Gemini API to auto-generate layouts, timing, and edit edits based on text descriptions. Media files are stored and categorized inside a library filterable by tags and sentiment.
Who it's for
It suits web developers and digital teams who want to host their own custom online video editing platform. It does not suit casual users looking for a simple desktop installer without managing servers or API keys.

Our honest verdict
What's great
- Combines browser multi-track editing with server-side Remotion video rendering.
- Includes Gemini AI integration to generate timeline layouts from text descriptions.
- Features a media asset library with sentiment scoring and tag filtering.

- Subject to Remotion licensing terms, which may require paid commercial licenses at scale.
- Requires Node.js 20+, Python 3.12+, and Docker for local development.
Pricing & license
The code is free to host, but you must pay for your own server infrastructure and PostgreSQL database. You will also incur API usage costs from Google Gemini for AI features, and potentially commercial licensing fees from Remotion depending on your company's revenue.
