What’s the longest video duration and highest resolution your SDK can handle smoothly in the browser without lag? Curious how it scales with heavier content.
We’ve tested with 3-minute videos containing 100+ elements. It’s still a work in progress, but we are working on scaling that limit further.

Thanks for sharing this! Sounds like a super useful tool, especially with all the AI and automation you’re integrating. Quick question: Have you thought about adding features like real-time collaboration or multiple people editing the same video, kinda like Figma or Canva? Could be pretty cool for teams working on social videos or product demos.
Also, curious how you’re thinking about handling heavy lifting for video exports or AI features (like auto-captions, scene detection, etc.). Will those run in the browser, or do you plan to offload some of that to the cloud (like with your AWS Lambda and S3 export)?
And one more thing – are you planning to support version control for video edits? Could make it easier for people to try different versions or go back and forth.
Great questions!
For tasks like video export, auto-captions, and scene detection, we’re offloading most of that to cloud functions using AWS Lambda, with exports going directly to S3.
We are maintaining a full edit history within the editor so users can undo, redo, and even explore different versions of their video as they work.
This is spot on. We've faced the same challenge — generating videos with AI is doable, but giving users real control over editing is the hard part

We are seeing a wave of AI video startups — tools that generate product videos, reels, explainers, and more using generative models. But many of them hit a wall. Why? Because after the AI generates content, users want to fine-tune it — but the tools lack the video editing capabilities. We’ve been working on a React-based video editing SDK - Twick that solves this. It lets you: - Auto-generate styled captions - Add effects (fade, zoom, typewriter, etc.) - Build timelines and live-edit canvases - Export videos to the cloud via Lambda All of this can be easily embedded into your app.
If you're interested in trying it out or want to collaborate, feel free to reach out. I'm also planning to open-source it soon for the wider dev community.
