Show HN: Kimu – Open-Source Video Editor

·August 4, 2025

I wanted a proper non-linear video editor built for the web. It always annoyed me how there are practically zero functioning web video editors. And here we are :)

Kimu can: - Work with Video, Audio & Text. - Supports Transitions. - Non-Linear Video Editing with z-axis overlays. - Split/trim - Export - A cute AI agent (coming soon!)

I'm in uni and I started this project out of sheer annoyance that there are zero good web video editors. It is open-source here (https://github.com/robinroy03/videoeditor).

What do y'all think?

Why??? You don't need this just because "AI" is popular right now, it will distract you from the goal of developing "video editor built for the web". It's really not going to improve the video editing experience.

our goal is to make a solid web video editor first and foremost. Then we'll try to make it super accessible.

I'm thinking of including AI features like captions, auto color grading etc. I get your point of forcing AI, we won't do that.

No AI for AI, but AI for making it more accessible and helping novice users to also make cinematic videos.
