OpenCut

Guidance for cloning, running, and contributing to OpenCut — a free, open-source video editor for web, desktop, and mobile (the "open-source CapCut alternative").

When to use this skill

• The user wants to clone, set up, or run OpenCut locally
• The user asks about OpenCut's project structure, dev tooling, or Rust/WASM core
• The user wants to contribute a PR and needs current focus areas / off-limits areas
• The user is confused about "OpenCut" (active rewrite) vs "opencut-classic" (the version that actually runs at opencut.app today)

When not to use this skill

• Generic video-editing feature work unrelated to this codebase → no skill needed
• General web scraping of arbitrary sites → use scrapling
• Generic Next.js/React performance questions not specific to this repo → use react-best-practices

Two codebases — pick the right one
