Cursor Agent 5e0696bc9b fix(tooling): set bun as javascript package manager so moon auto-installs deps With 'javascript: {}', moon v2 never adds an InstallDependencies action to the graph, so fresh clones fail with 'vite: command not found' when running any web/api task (#846). The javascript toolchain drives installs and must be told bun is the package manager. Also drop 'bun.installDependencies: true' (defaults to true, and was inert without packageManager set) and stale comments.

README.md

OpenCut

A free and open source video editor for web, desktop, and mobile.

Status

OpenCut is being rewritten from the ground up. What's coming:

An Editor API
First-class third party plugins (made possible by a plugin-first architecture)
Desktop, mobile, and browser from one codebase (Rust core)
MCP server (for AI agents)
Headless mode (automation, batch rendering)
A scripting tab directly in the editor

You can still find the previous version at opencut-app/opencut-classic, which is the one to reach for today. opencut.app still runs the classic version. The rewrite will live at new.opencut.app until it's ready to take over.

Development

Install proto if you haven't already:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://moonrepo.dev/install/proto.sh)

From the repo root:

proto use    # installs the tools pinned in .prototools

moon run web:dev       # localhost:5173
moon run api:dev       # localhost:8787
moon run desktop:dev   # see apps/desktop/README.md
