    Status

    OpenCut is being rewritten from the ground up. What's coming:

    • An Editor API
    • First-class third party plugins (made possible by a plugin-first architecture)
    • Desktop, mobile, and browser from one codebase (Rust core)
    • MCP server (for AI agents)
    • Headless mode (automation, batch rendering)
    • A scripting tab directly in the editor

    You can still find the previous version at opencut-app/opencut-classic, which is the one to reach for today. opencut.app still runs the classic version; the rewrite will live at new.opencut.app until it's ready to take over.

    Development

    Install proto if you haven't already:

    bash <(curl -fsSL https://moonrepo.dev/install/proto.sh)

    From the repo root:

    proto use    # installs bun + moon at the versions pinned in .prototools
bun install

    moon run web:dev   # localhost:5173
moon run api:dev   # localhost:8787

    Contributing

    We're not set up to take outside contributions yet while the architecture is being designed. If you want to follow along, ask questions, or just hang out, join the Discord or open an issue.
