Pablituuu – Web Video Editor with AI Highlights (WebGL, FFmpeg WASM)

Running FFmpeg in-browser combined with WebGL-accelerated rendering and a Fabric.js timeline is a concrete technical win — it actually removes the need for a heavy server backend. The Gemini-powered 'AI Analytics' highlight detection is the feature people will demo first, but the real risk is memory and export performance with large assets in the browser; that's the engineering problem this project needs practical answers for.
