I’m just curious, why didn’t you choose to make this a web app instead of a desktop app? Were there technical limitations?

Yes, it was ffmpeg. Some operations, ie audio preview and video clipping to create segments from start-end, are performed as needed in the background.

I've tried using ffmpeg-wasm, but it has some limitations. I find that native ffmpeg is much more effective than the wasm version.
