API for client-side video editing (MediaBlob)

Closed this issue · 6 comments

Currently editing video within the browser is a very complex task as there isn't any straight forward approach to decoding the encoded video file to produce a raw stream that can do common video editing capabilities such as trimming or concatenation.

Here are the slides we presented during the June meeting.

Thank you, @ykh015!

There is further discussion in the blink-dev Intent to Prototype thread.

@ykh015 We're wondering what the status of the MediaBlob proposal is, and in particular in relation to Web Codecs? There was some discussion in WICG/video-editing#13 about the benefits of a playlist based approach for efficient media editing. What input would you want to see from media companies to help move things forward?

Closing this, as I have feedback from @ykh015 to say that Web Codecs is now their preferred solution for media editing scenarios.
