A YouTube Shorts-focused video editor for web, built on top of OpenCut.
Forked from OpenCut — the free and open-source browser video editor. ShortsStudio is a private fork with a Shorts-first feature focus and our own brand applied. The upstream OpenCut codebase, architecture, and MIT license are preserved.
ShortsStudio is a browser-based video editor optimized for creating YouTube Shorts (9:16, vertical video). It builds on the OpenCut engine and adds Shorts-specific presets, aspect ratios, caption styles, and export workflows.
This project uses Bun as its package manager and Turbo for monorepo task orchestration.
