FORGET CAPCUT: THIS COMPLETELY FREE, OPEN-SOURCE ALTERNATIVE JUST HIT 62K STARS ON GITHUB.
First CapCut adds their branding to your work, then they lock essential features, and finally, they hit you with a recurring subscription fee.
A group of devs got so fed up with the status quo that they engineered a totally free, open-source alternative.
Say hello to OpenCut.
They are currently doing a massive ground-up rewrite, and the new architecture is insane.
Let me break it down:
→ Built on a Rust core with TypeScript (97%)
→ One single codebase for Web, Desktop, and Mobile
→ A plugin-first architecture for first-class third-party add-ons
→ Headless mode for automations and batch rendering
→ MCP Server support so AI agents can interact with it
→ A scripting tab built directly into the editor interface
And because it's MIT licensed, you can do whatever you want with it.
Want to try it?
Super easy.
1. You can run the "Classic" version today at https://t.co/EYjp1SQ3CF
2. Check out the bleeding-edge rewrite at https://t.co/0l3UU4EO4t
2. Or clone the repo, install proto, and spin up the dev servers yourself.
It’s exactly what a modern video editor should be.

Incredible Egyptian goal is disallowed because of a foul far away, then same situation a few minutes later and goal for Argentina not disallowed! No VAR, nothing? FIFA again looks like a corrupt joke, playing favorites for stars.
hackers are now hiding malicious code inside .cursorrules and CLAUDE.md files.
invisible Unicode characters, your AI reads them, you don't.
→ 34 malicious packages across npm, PyPI and Crates .io
→ 384 versions designed to steal SSH keys, crypto wallets, and API tokens
→ attackers opened real PRs to LangChain, LlamaIndex, and MetaGPT to sneak these files in
→ your AI runs a fake "security scan" that silently exfiltrates everything
