Show HN: Twick – New AI video editor library SDK

https://github.com/ncounterspecialist/twick

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...

Thanks for sharing this! Sounds like a super useful tool, especially with all the AI and automation you’re integrating. Quick question: Have you thought about adding features like real-time collaboration or multiple people editing the same video, kinda like Figma or Canva? Could be pretty cool for teams working on social videos or product demos.

Also, curious how you’re thinking about handling heavy lifting for video exports or AI features (like auto-captions, scene detection, etc.). Will those run in the browser, or do you plan to offload some of that to the cloud (like with your AWS Lambda and S3 export)?

And one more thing – are you planning to support version control for video edits? Could make it easier for people to try different versions or go back and forth.

Definitely, I am working on cleaning it this weekend. Can we connect over email : [email protected]?

Thanks for the sharing. It looks promising, wondering why it didn't come in the search for me previously.

Video editing library for brwoser similar to moviepy

Hi everyone,This is Pankaj from India. I am the co-founder of Kiffer AI. We are building a marketing product that requires video generation on the fly. So far, we have been using MoviePy in the backend, but now we need a browser-based video editor for users to edit those videos, similar to Canva. We explored various options but couldn't find an open-source library in JavaScript that meets our...
