Electron-Based Video Editor SDK — Save 6 Months of Development
Every SaaS founder dreams of launching an AI-powered video editing platform.
But the moment they try building the editor core themselves?
9 out of 10 end up stuck in dev hell — wasting months or failing altogether.
This SDK prevents that.
Timeline, effects, AI subtitles, export — all fully built and ready.
Plug it in. Launch instantly.
Now I’m releasing the entire source code as an SDK for developers who want to build:
- SaaS video platforms
- Standalone video editors
- AI-powered content editing tools
- Custom video processing pipelines
---
⏳ Save 6–12 months of dev time
💸 Skip $5,000+ worth of engineering hours
This is not a demo — this is a real engine, ready to customize and deploy.
You don’t need to reinvent timeline logic, media syncing, subtitle extraction, or export pipelines.
It’s already done. You just build on top.
