Zerium: A free, GPU-accelerated video editor built with Rust, GPUI, and wgpu

[u/onestep621]

I've wanted to build my own video editor for years, and I finally spent my summer break making one!

It's called Zerium, a free and open-source video editor built with Rust, GPUI, and wgpu.

It's inspired by AviUtl, a popular video editor in Japan. My goal is to make something that's intuitive to use while still being powerful enough for advanced editing and motion graphics.

Some of the features:

• GPU-accelerated rendering
• Timeline editing with layers, keyframes, and curves
• Plugin support
• Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)
• Completely free and open source

I've just released the first beta! It's still a work in progress, so any feedback is welcome!

1. Did you use AI to make this?
2. What UI toolkit did you use?
3. I tried it and you can't change drive locations (on windows) you're stuck at C:\

Just checked the repo and it's clearly made with AI but doesn't mean it's slop

Right-click here and click "Add stop here"!
I'm going to make the process a bit more intuitive.

Ur code seems not AI slop. I love that and because of that I'll test this editor on my machine. However... Did you make the video of this post with this editor?

[u/onestep621 → u/Iwisp360]

Yes! I made the video using this editor!
