OpenCut

OpenCut is an open-source video editor that runs in your browser, with desktop and mobile versions planned. The project is being rewritten from the ground up around a Rust core; opencut.app still runs the classic version while the rewrite is in progress.

OpenCut offers a simple timeline editor that gets common editing jobs done in the browser. The rewrite adds a plugin-first architecture for third-party plugins, one codebase for desktop, mobile and browser, an MCP server for AI agents, a headless mode for automation and batch rendering, and a scripting tab inside the editor.

OpenCut is a promising open alternative to the video editors that put features behind subscriptions and keep your projects in their cloud. It is MIT-licensed and moving fast, though the rewrite means it's worth checking the current state before relying on it.
