Show HN: Loop-find, trim, rotate and crop videos in the browser, no upload

I built this with Claude to trim, loop and patch a lot of short clips quickly. I'm new to video editing, and every tool people recommended needed an install and was built around editing one video at a time. So I made a basic browser version, free and no sign-up, and kept adding small things as I needed them: a loop finder (it searches the clip for the frame that best matches your in point), tilt, colour, patching, cropping, rotating, removing audio, and a batch export.

Funnily enough there's no AI in the editor itself. I know that's the hype in video right now, but every test I did with AI editing or generation came out worse than just shooting more. So I shoot and edit a lot by hand, and use AI to build the tools that make that faster.

Far from perfect, but it's fast. Everything runs in the browser with ffmpeg.wasm and files never leave your machine. Straight cuts are a stream copy, so they take seconds. There's an opt-in server option for re-encodes on slow machines or big files, which might fall over if too many of you try it at once.

It's mostly Claude-built. I know that puts some people off. I still think it's useful: I couldn't find an easy, no-install browser version of this, though I'm sure other tools do similar things. The nice part for me is that I can keep adding things myself. If there's interest I might open source it, although honestly it's not hard to rebuild with Claude.

Small bug I hit: Help -> 'Save and reload your work' opens /help/saving-your-work, which is a 404 right now. The save-state file is a useful bit for batch work, so that guide would be worth fixing.

thanks! will fix that. The save state is also automatic in local storage, but you can export it for extra security. I think export state is better wording then save.
