• Browser-Based 4K Rendering: Hardware-accelerated video processing entirely in the browser using WebCodecs and PixiJS. Export up to 4K resolution without server-side rendering.
• Semantic Search: AI-powered search across your video assets using vector embeddings and pgvector similarity search. Find clips by content, not just filenames.
• Multi-Track Timeline: Professional-grade timeline editor with support for multiple video, audio, and overlay tracks. Drag, drop, and arrange clips with precision.
• Automatic Captions: Generate and edit captions for your videos with AI-powered transcription. Support for multiple languages and custom styling.
• AI-Native Architecture: Built for AI integration from the ground up. Easy API for embedding AI features like semantic search, auto-editing, and intelligent asset organization.
• Intuitive API: Clean, type-safe API built with tRPC and TypeScript. Easy to extend and integrate into your own applications.
• Transitions & Effects: Smooth transitions between clips and a library of visual effects powered by GLSL shaders.
• Real-Time Preview: Instant playback feedback with hardware-accelerated rendering.
• Cloud Storage: Upload and manage assets in the cloud with Cloudflare R2 integration.
• AI Director: Intelligent assistant that helps organize and edit your video content automatically.
• Project Organization: Create spaces to organize multiple video projects and collaborate with team members.
• Background Processing: Efficient background indexing and processing using BullMQ and Trigger.dev for heavy tasks.
• Real-Time Collaboration: WebSocket-based real-time updates for collaborative editing sessions.

OpenVideo is built as a modern monorepo using pnpm and Turborepo:

• Frontend: Next.js 15 with App Router for the web interface
• Backend: NestJS Fastify API server handling REST endpoints, WebSocket gateway, and background workers
• Database: PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM for unified data management
• Communication: tRPC for type-safe internal API calls
• Authentication: Better Auth with magic link and GitHub OAuth support
• Rendering: PixiJS-based compositor engine for video processing
• AI: Gemini API integration for semantic search and intelligent features

• Node.js 18+
• pnpm
• PostgreSQL database
• Redis (for background queues)
