I'd love to be able to do video and/or audio editing on my Chromebook.<p>I would have thought there would be a decent PWA that deals with offline files so you don't have to 'upload' them to work with them. It would be awesome to render and export in the cloud without having to do any local heavy lifting.<p>Anyone know of anything that already exists? Or is this not available for a reason?
Have you tried WeVideo ? <a href="https://www.wevideo.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.wevideo.com/</a>
Youtube also have some basic video linear editing tool<p>Not sure if Chromebook are powerful enough for web based video editing, but I think overall it's a good idea to create this kind of tool.<p>I actually already thought about that years ago, using GLSL shaders to create visual effects and transitions. One bottleneck would be creating previews of the current editing (precomputing everything so that the preview is realtime and not laggy), Youtube does this by computing the video on their server (not on their clients) and displaying it like a regular video.
Why not use a laptop where you can download a good video editing tool and use that ? Video editing on the cloud is not a trivial task and hence you don't see too many options. Also, if you don't want to upload anything, then it defeats the purpose of cloud. We are not quite there yet with PWAs specially for things like video editing.
first : How could you render and export in the cloud if you don't upload them ?<p>Second : A browser can't deal with local files easily<p>Last: There is probably none free because it is very expensive to edit video files
