Short summary
AetherCut is a browser-based video editor that processes all footage locally using Canvas API and WebCodecs for hardware-accelerated H.264 export—nothing uploads to servers. A 60-second 1080p clip exports in 10-12 seconds without leaving your device. The architecture demonstrates that modern browser APIs have matured to enable performant client-side video processing.
