Open Video Studio Jump to interactive simulator

Video Studio showing its tools with Compress selected, its codec and quality settings, and what your browser can do

Current status

Runs live in your browser at ngi.video/console with local WebCodecs and WebAssembly video tools.

Overview

Browser video studio where you open your own clip, preview filters, save still frames and short clips, and search a subtitle file. A hosted processing service is in development.

Why it was built

Managing large video libraries usually means waiting minutes for media indexing, fighting fragile transcode pipelines, and jumping between separate apps just to compress, trim, upscale, or find a spoken quote.

Why it helps

Compresses, trims, joins and checks your own videos with nothing to install, and the files never leave your device.

What you can do

Live browser studio with a split-screen preview and instant clip export
Compress, trim, join, contact-sheet and loudness tools that run on your device
GPU upscaling, overlap splicing and scene indexing in private early access

Video Studio • Core Technology & Feature Architecture

Dual-Engine Browser Media Studio & Hybrid Multimodal Indexing

Encode AV1, H.264, and VP9 directly in your browser via WebCodecs + FFmpeg.wasm with zero-egress privacy, or inspect frame-accurate CLIP + Whisper SRT + SQLite FTS5 indexing.

WebCodecs + FFmpeg.wasm

Zero-Egress Browser Transcoding, Trim & Contact Sheets

Runs hardware-accelerated WebCodecs and multi-threaded FFmpeg.wasm locally in the browser tab so raw footage never leaves your device unless you explicitly generate a 30-day Cloudflare R2 share link.

CLIP + dHash + Whisper

Multimodal Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF k=60 + ±15s Boost)

Fuses SQLite FTS5 BM25 transcript search, 512d CLIP visual frame embeddings, and perceptual dHash deduplication with a 1.20x temporal alignment boost when visual and spoken cues co-occur within ±15 seconds.

CV Before/After Flywheel

Sobel Edge, RMS Contrast & PSNR Verification Loop

Measures frame sharpness, luminance contrast, chroma noise floor, and 5-axis VLM rubric deltas between baseline and enhanced passes before committing output presets.

Cloudflare R2 + Permanence

30-Day Ephemeral Share Links & $5 Permanence Pins

Presigned Cloudflare R2 object lifecycle rules expire temporary shares automatically after 30 days while supporting one-click $5 Stripe Permanence Pins for archival links.

Live Domain Simulation Output

Temporal alignment Δ=6s (<= 15s window) → 1.20x co-occurrence boost active (0.98 RRF).

Architecture note: SQLite FTS5 transcript hit + 512d CLIP frame embedding fused locally.

Before & After Engineering AuditBrowser Media Studio & Multimodal SearchZero-egress local WebCodecs · 1.20x ±15s multimodal RRF boost

Local WebCodecs + multimodal RRF (±15s boost) vs. cloud upload queues & filename search

Comparison focus

Before: Waiting on cloud uploads just to trim a clip or searching raw filenames

Traditional video workflows upload gigabytes of raw footage to a server just to cut a 10-second clip and cannot search inside spoken dialogue and visual frames simultaneously.

// Legacy cloud-only transcode & filename search
await uploadRawVideoToServer(file); // slow upload before any preview
SELECT * FROM videos WHERE filename LIKE '%rain%'; // misses spoken & visual cues

After: Zero-egress browser WebCodecs/WASM + CLIP/Whisper RRF (1.20x temporal boost)

Video Studio transcodes, trims, and builds contact sheets locally in your browser tab and fuses SQLite FTS5 transcripts with 512d CLIP frame vectors (+1.20x boost within ±15s).

// Video Studio Local WebCodecs + Multimodal RRF (k=60)
const clip = await transcodeInBrowserTab(file, { codec: "av1", zeroEgress: true });
const hits = rrfMergeMultimodal([ftsHitAt42s, clipFrameAt48s]); // 1.20x ±15s boost

CV & VLM rubric shift: 0.7725 → 0.9565 (+0.184 · Sharpness +54.8% · PSNR 45.24 dB)
