OpenCut (TypeScript) — The open-source CapCut alternative
You cut short social videos and want no watermark, no subscription and no upload of your raw footage.
Media & Files
A free video editor that runs in the browser and keeps footage on your machine, aimed squarely at the tier of editing most people actually do: trim, caption, cut to music, export. It reached the high tens of thousands of stars quickly because the alternatives either watermark output, upload your footage, or charge monthly. TypeScript, MIT. Be clear about maturity — this is a young project, and the last push at time of writing was several weeks back, so it is not moving as fast as its star count implies. Missing pieces are the ones professionals notice: colour grading, multi-track audio depth, proxy workflows. For social clips it is enough.

You edit professionally, need colour grading or proxies, or want a project with guaranteed long-term maintenance.
