FilmCraft

FilmCraft is a free, open-source, and professional-grade video editing application currently in development by ArtCraft. Built entirely from scratch using the Rust programming language, it is designed to offer a native, high-performance editing experience across macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Key Features

• Traditional Timeline Architecture: Features a familiar multi-track timeline, source/program monitors, three-point editing, and J/K/L dynamic trimming.
• Custom Codec Engine: It does not rely on FFmpeg; instead, it uses its own bit-exact, native decoders for H.264, HEVC, ProRes, VP9, AAC, and Opus.
• Frame-Exact Timebase: Utilizes an integer timebase to prevent audio/video drift or rounding errors in standard frame rates like 23.976 and 29.97 drop-frame.
• Color Grading & Effects: Equipped with curves, color wheels, HSL secondaries, LUTs, and video scopes supporting HDR and log workflows. It also includes roughly 55 video effects and 30 transitions with advanced keyframe graph controls.
• Broadcast Audio: Includes an audio mixer with automation, native DSP effects, and EBU R128 loudness meters.
