FilmCraft

Non-linear video editor built in pure Rust

Upvote

FilmCraft is a video editor modeled on the Adobe Premiere Pro workflow, so editors find familiar panels, workspaces, tools and shortcuts. It runs natively on macOS, Windows and Linux and in the browser through WebAssembly.

Highlights

  • Editing, color, effects, audio, titles, export and interchange in one application
  • Codecs including H.264, HEVC, ProRes and AAC, which the team says were written in Rust from public specifications
  • A GPU compositor that works in linear light
  • Frame math based on exact integer time so edits do not drift
  • Every action is a command that an AI agent can drive

The repository shows a three-minute documentary edit of public-domain moon-landing footage as an example of what it can do.

Good to know: the ArtCraft name and logos are trademarks of the ArtCraft team and are not covered by the open-source license, so forks must remove them. The code itself is released under Apache-2.0.
