AI Analysis

●●●BangerWizardryBig BrainSlick

Renderer-agnostic core swaps WebGL/Canvas/WebGPU without touching state — rare architectural discipline.

Strengths
  • WebCodecs decode with push-based StreamingFrameProducer handles real video playback in browser.
  • Deterministic timeline resolver guarantees same frame equals same pixels every time.
  • GPU TextLayer with interactive drag/resize/inline-edit keeps export matching preview automatically.
Weaknesses
  • Single audio track only — no multi-track mixing or audio timeline editing yet.
  • Browser video editing is a funded category with Kapwing, Shotstack already established.
