OpenCut.App

Builds an open-source video editor and maintains the upstream Rust rewrite.

The team behind the OpenCut editor

OpenCut.app is the GitHub organization publishing OpenCut, an open-source timeline editor positioned as a CapCut alternative. The organization owns the primary rewrite repository and a separate, archived copy of the original editor.

The team keeps the Classic source available as an archive and uses the active repository for the replacement. The active README separates planned editor interfaces from current releases and directs readers to issues and Discord while outside contributions are on hold.
