Cliparr 2.0 brings editor performance upgrades, a new canvas-based timeline engine, and subtitle editing support.

Cliparr 2.0 is out now

What is Cliparr?

Cliparr is a browser-based, simplified video editor with a single purpose: to create and export clips from Plex, Jellyfin, and local video.

What’s new?

Check the blog post for the full breakdown, but the biggest change is the new canvas-based timeline editor.

While adding support for editable subtitles, I discovered the timeline component we were using was highly inefficient. Also, no other free or open-source timeline editors existed.

So… we now also have https://canvastimeline.com/ which is a new open-source headless video editor for JavaScript.

Canvas Timeline allows us to load and render literally hundreds of clips without any performance issues.

Also new:

  • Subtitle editor
  • Export size estimation
  • Mobile UI updates
  • Maintenance automations

Aside: When making the Export Size Estimator, it made sense to also release a fully in-browser video converter: https://cliparr.dev/convert/
