If you want free, Resolve will run circles around whatever open source thing you can find. No need for WGPU, it just runs the GPU. Sadly, things like this just put a bad taste in my mouth about the whole concept of running code in a browser like this. It's buggy as hell. It doesn't run in all browsers. And I really have to ask why we think the browser is the place to run this. We've moved from Java and now to WASM in a browser, but only some browsers.

I stopped trusting resolve after they decided to paywall reactor. Putting a paywall on plugins that users contribute for free is just shitty.

  There's a standalone version of reactor now

+1 for Davinci Resolve. I used the free version for years (Windows and Mac versions) before finally picking up a copy of Studio which is still very reasonably priced and is a flat fee.

Resolve requiring an account to download is what turned me away when I needed to do a quick edit the other day. Oracle much?

  Why not just have a throwaway email account for these types of things. Opens up a lot of great software if this is a barrier for you.

  Black Magic gives video editing software that actual professionals use away for free. They sell professional grade equipment that regular consumers can afford. They also offer a ton of training videos teaching you how to edit professionally....for free. A ton of independent filmmakers have started their career using Black Magic software/devices. They are absolutely not anything like oracle.

  I always put asdf@asdf.com and it lets me download it

  It doesn't require an account to download.

> And I really have to ask why we think the browser is the place to run this. This is a big barrier if you want cross-compatibility and making Linux usable for everyday people. My whole interface is a terminal and a browser. I could use/pay for something like this in the same way I use figma. I don't need an app and when I open my iPad I can access whatever I was working on. The browser should have been the place to run all of this from the very start; but Apple/Google decided to create walled gardens for their systems.

In my experience getting it to run on my Intel gpu on Linux was not trivial. And when I did I discovered it doesn't support standard video formats making it a complete non starter. Kdenlive is much better imho for basic edits

  If your baseline is Resolve, sure. But most people aren't cutting Hollywood timelines.

    Most people cutting hollywood timelines are not using Resolve either.

Different use case. "Runs everywhere instantly" beats "installs + config" for a lot of workflows.

  How does WGPU work on systems with multiple GPUs? Do you not get to config which one is used? That'd be a waste. What about systems with external monitors or even multiple monitors? How do you config what goes on which screen with out some config? Oh, it doesn't handle that? That's professional. How do you setup a control surface without some config? Oh, it doesn't work with control surfaces? That's not very professional either.
