Is there a "photopea for video" anyone can recommend?

Definitely wouldn't call it "Photopea for video", but it's free (though not FOSS) and multiplatform: DaVinci Resolve is a free NLE desktop program available on Windows, Mac and Linux. Exports are limited to 3840x2160 60fps on the free version, but that's good enough for most use cases.

Aside from increased resolution and framerate, the main differences with $300 Studio version is that it allows you to use multi-GPU setups, advanced noise reduction, lens correction, better color grading capabilities, scripting and automation with Python and LUA, along with some other things.

So Studio is definitely nice to have if you're doing professional editing, but the free version is good enough for many hobbyists.

Unlike Photopea, I don't think Resolve has any compatibility with Adobe products' files (such as Premiere Pro, After Effects, etc.)

However, it is a tool that's been used for color grading or editing several major films and TV shows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DaVinci_Resolve#Media_produced...

I've tried other free tools, and Resolve definitely seems to be the most powerful. However, it's almost certainly not the easiest to use. If you're just wanting to trim video clips, combine different clips into one video, crop and add some background music or VO, etc., there's probably easier free tools to use out there.

Personally want “photopea for audio”. Basically Audacity on the web as sleek as Photopea, for the times when I just want to trim some audio and do other basic edits.

OpenShot is great, FOSS and works well on my 2014 MBP: https://www.openshot.org/

I used DaVinci Resolve but it was very sluggish on older hardware.
