hmm yeah you will probably get black screen when its still loading, it is pretty big because of ffmpeg, probably about 50-80mb to load, ive noticed it myself but its usually couple of seconds, thats error on my end because im handling that loading not right because it should show loading indicator but its not ... but it wont work on mobile anyways, i need to fix problem with drag and drop because its simply not working, i dont exacly remember what was the memory limit, but it depends on the browser, i havent experienced the memory limit yet btw

Ah yep! I just didn't wait long enough. Very cool. Seems like it took a lot of work. And it seems better than other browser-based video editors I've seen in the past, so kudos.
TIL about the webcodecs API to get frames of video and chunks of audio: https://caniuse.com/?search=webcodecs
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/best-practice...
yeah sorry for that long loading and not properly showing indicator, it took long time for me to develop especially because I was trying to learn as much so I usually tried doing something myself for weeks and then finally thinking that was idiot move and using library, webcodecs API is super cool, im hoping they will also add muxing and demuxing to api, though I like ffmpeg because im using it more than just muxing and demuxing in this project
Make your loader indicate progress or something. Show what you will be able to do after it is finished loading... do something useful with that time. I thought you got hugged so I backed out after a few seconds.
yeah i will, sorry for that, i thought im handling it correctly but im not, and i was deceived becuase mine was already downloaded and cached so it no longer loaded for that long ...
