Don’t let the negative comments about browser compatibility get you down. These are perfectly reasonable issues, and it’s really hard making something this full featured fully cross-compatible.
While ideally there are graceful degradations for challenging browser feature situations, prioritizing getting this out into the world is fine, and the hacker news audience is definitely not representative.
You are getting the blame for the general situation of uneven advanced browser feature implementations, when that should be constructively turned elsewhere.

Access to the file system, the clipboard etc. is a serious security risk. You are committed to supporting deliberately insecure browsers instead of good ones, because the latter are limiting: a worrying backwards attitude towards users.
By the way, what are the benefits that made you choose a web app instead of a proper native application?
Also, take a look at the opened issues, and you will see what kind of formats we are planning to support. https://github.com/ExpressiveSuite/ExpressiveAnimator/issues
One more thing: we will support video exports somewhere in September. Why September? Because that's when WebCodecs will be available in Chromium-based browsers. I hope this helps.
