For something as simple as trimming a clip or cutting a short video, the workflow felt much heavier than it should be.</p> <p>So we decided to build something simpler.</p> <p>We created Qcut, a lightweight video editor that runs entirely in the browser.</p> <p>The idea was to make editing instant:</p> <ul> <li>no installs</li> <li>no signup</li> <li>no watermark</li> </ul> <p>Just open the site and start editing.</p> <p>You can try it here:<br> <a href="https://qcut.app" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://qcut.app</a></p> <p>We also recently launched Qcut on Product Hunt and would love to hear what developers and builders here think, and what features would make something like this more useful.</p> startup
