# OpenCut (Legacy)
## Sponsors
This is the original OpenCut codebase. It's archived and no longer maintained.
Thanks to [Vercel](https://vercel.com?utm_source=github-opencut&utm_campaign=oss) and [fal.ai](https://fal.ai?utm_source=github-opencut&utm_campaign=oss) for their support of open-source software.

## Why?
- **Privacy**: Your videos stay on your device
- **Free features**: Most basic CapCut features are now paywalled
- **Simple**: People want editors that are easy to use - CapCut proved that
## Project Structure
- `apps/web/`: Next.js web application
- `apps/desktop/`: Native desktop app built with GPUI (in progress)
- `rust/`: Platform-agnostic core: GPU compositor, effects, masks, and WASM bindings. We're actively migrating business logic here from TypeScript.
- `docs/`: Architecture and subsystem documentation
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- [Bun](https://bun.sh/docs/installation)
- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
> **Note:** Docker is optional but recommended for running the local database and Redis. If you only want to work on frontend features, you can skip it.
### Setup
1. Fork and clone the repository
2. Copy the environment file:
```bash
# Unix/Linux/Mac
cp apps/web/.env.example apps/web/.env.local
# Windows PowerShell
Copy-Item apps/web/.env.example apps/web/.env.local
```
3. Start the database and Redis:
```bash
docker compose up -d db redis serverless-redis-http
```
4. Install dependencies and start the dev server:
```bash
bun install
bun dev:web
```
The application will be available at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).
The `.env.example` has sensible defaults that match the Docker Compose config — it should work out of the box.
### Desktop setup
Desktop is opt-in. If you're only working on the web app, skip this entirely.
If you want to get ready for `apps/desktop`, see [`apps/desktop/README.md`](apps/desktop/README.md). It's a two-step setup: Rust toolchain first, then desktop native dependencies.
### Local WASM development
Only needed if you're editing `rust/wasm` and want the web app to use your local build instead of the published package.
**Prerequisites** — install these once before anything else:
```bash
# Rust toolchain
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
# build the WASM package
cargo install wasm-pack
# reruns the build on file changes, used by bun dev:wasm
cargo install cargo-watch
```
1. Build the package once from the repo root:
```bash
bun run build:wasm
```
2. Register the generated package for linking:
```bash
cd rust/wasm/pkg
bun link
```
3. Link `apps/web` to the local package:
```bash
cd apps/web
bun link opencut-wasm
```
4. Rebuild on changes while you work:
```bash
bun dev:wasm
```
To switch `apps/web` back to the published package, run:
```bash
cd apps/web
bun add opencut-wasm
```
### Self-Hosting with Docker
To run everything (including a production build of the app) in Docker:
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
The app will be available at [http://localhost:3100](http://localhost:3100).
## Contributing
We welcome contributions! While we're actively developing and refactoring certain areas, there are plenty of opportunities to contribute effectively.
**🎯 Focus areas:** Timeline functionality, project management, performance, bug fixes, and UI improvements outside the preview panel.
**⚠️ Avoid for now:** Preview panel enhancements (fonts, stickers, effects) and export functionality - we're refactoring these with a new binary rendering approach.
See our [Contributing Guide](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) for detailed setup instructions, development guidelines, and complete focus area guidance.
**Quick start for contributors:**
- Fork the repo and clone locally
- Follow the setup instructions in CONTRIBUTING.md
- Working on `apps/desktop`? See [`apps/desktop/README.md`](apps/desktop/README.md) for setup
- Create a feature branch and submit a PR
