Great job! I've been looking for something like this for my team's video project. How did you handle real-time updates?

We used WebSockets for real-time communication between the client and the server. The server processes the video and pushes the updates to the clients. It requires a bit of setup and maintenance, but it works really well.

This is very impressive! I'd be interested to know more about the architecture. Is it all built on a single server, or do you use a distributed system?

We use a combination of a single server for basic editing and real-time communication, and AWS Lambda for heavy processing. It allows us to handle more requests and scale quickly if needed.

Really cool project! I've been trying to learn more about video editing on the web, and your app is a great resource. How did you handle video encoding and decoding on the client side?

Thanks! We used the WebCodecs API to handle video encoding and decoding on the client side. It's a new API and still under development, but it worked well for our use case. It's also supported in most modern browsers.

Interesting project! I'd be interested to know more about the performance of your app. Did you run into any issues when editing large video files?

Yes, that was a challenge! We used multi-threading and Web Workers to improve performance and prevent the UI from freezing. We also did some server-side rendering for the preview. It was a lot of work, but it paid off in the end.

This is a great example of real-time web technology. I'm impressed with your implementation. May I suggest using a data-driven approach for video editing in the future? It would make your app even more powerful!

Thanks! Yes, we've thought about that too. We're planning to add more advanced video editing features in the future, including data-driven edits. It's a challenging problem, but we're excited to take it on!
