About Tooscut

Tooscut is a browser-based video editor, described in its README as a non-linear editing (NLE) application that runs entirely in the browser. It uses WebGPU for compositing and Rust compiled to WebAssembly for the compositor, with a TanStack Start and React 19 user interface. The project is hosted on GitHub and includes build commands for development, testing and production.

The README lists GPU-accelerated rendering, a canvas-rendered timeline, keyframe animation with bezier easing, and real-time brightness, contrast, saturation, blur and hue rotation effects. It states that media stays on the user's machine through the File System Access API. The source does not list supported browsers, and building the WebAssembly compositor requires Rust and wasm-pack. The project is licensed under the Elastic License 2.0, and the directory data lists it as not open source.
