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/

Wow you have been busy!
I appreciate your dedication.
Thanks! It’s been my favorite project.
Uhh I’ll use this for my gaming clips library
This would probably get crazy popular if there was a supported integration for Stash
Searching for Stash on DDG reveals that the name is shared by at least a finance manager, network tool, and a porn clip organiser (the very last item on the first page of results).
I am safely assuming you are referring to the third one.
TIL.
Welp, that’s not the direction I expected my search to take… Learned something new today.
Ah interesting. Should be fairly doable. I actually inject all of the interesting metadata into the output file as well. So theoretically even we didn’t have a proper integration, systems can read that metadata. I hadn’t heard about this, I’ll look into it. Thanks!
My pleasure! Good luck with development, seems like a cool project.
What’s an example use case for this? Not criticising, i seriously cannot think of anything.
I’ve got tons of old cartoons that are rife with gif potential, and it’d be pretty fun to be able to quickly/easily snip those out & share 'em.
Makes sense
That’s exactly what I was thinking too. I might actually look more into this once I get my frigate build under control.
