Video editor for web, desktop, and mobile.

OpenCut edits video in a web application, with the hosted site currently running its classic version. That version keeps videos on the user’s device and can be self-hosted with Docker. The main repository is being rewritten; its announced editor API, plugins, agent integration and headless rendering belong to that forthcoming version.
