New Video editor SDK out

We are seeing a wave of AI video startups — tools that generate product videos, reels, explainers, and more using generative models. But many of them hit a wall. Why? Because after the AI generates content, users want to fine-tune it — but the tools lack the video editing capabilities. We’ve been working on a React-based video editing SDK - Twick that solves this. It lets you: - Auto-generate styled captions - Add effects (fade, zoom, typewriter, etc.) - Build timelines and live-edit canvases - Export videos to the cloud via Lambda. All of this can be easily embedded into your app. If you're interested in trying it out or want to collaborate, feel free to reach out. I'm also planning to open-source it soon for the wider dev community.

This is spot on. We've faced the same challenge — generating videos with AI is doable, but giving users real control over editing is the hard part

I definitely need this. Where's the repo?
