Video Clipper
Side Project
October 2020 – Present

I built Video Clipper to turn video moments into GIFs and other formats without using FFmpeg from the command line. It uses ffmpeg.wasm (opens in a new tab) to run conversion in the browser.
The interface lets users choose start and end times, crop a frame, and adjust frame rate, speed, and scale. The early version transferred files to a worker, which limited input size and performance. Following a suggestion on GitHub (opens in a new tab), I adopted WORKERFS to reduce that transfer overhead.
The repository documents support for local files up to 2 GB and notes that long conversions can take too much time. The clipper code rejects GIF clips longer than 60 seconds. I use the app when I need a quick GIF.
Features
- Trim and crop video, with frame-rate, speed, and scale controls
- Create optimized GIFs and use a boomerang effect
- Export to image, video, and audio formats including GIF, PNG, MP4, and MP3
- Use local files without installing an application
