Drift is an open-source, cross-platform video editor built for fast, local-first editing. Powered by Qt 6, FFmpeg, and OpenGL, it features multi-track editing, GPU-accelerated rendering, effects, transitions, text overlays, and AI background removal. Unlike many editors, Drift runs locally with no subscriptions or mandatory cloud processing, giving creators full control over their projects and privacy.

Hey Product Hunt! I'm excited to introduce **Drift**, an open-source desktop video editor I've been building to make video editing faster, more accessible, and community-driven. The idea behind Drift came from wanting a modern editor that gives creators the performance of a native app while keeping their data local and their workflow flexible. It is built with **Qt 6, FFmpeg, and OpenGL**, combining powerful media processing with a lightweight desktop experience. I'd love to hear from creators, editors, and developers: * What features do you look for in a video editor? * What frustrates you about current editing tools? * What would make Drift more useful for your workflow? Your feedback will help shape where Drift goes next. Thanks for checking it out!

Very fast video editor, beautiful UI, easy to learn. Nice work it's already almost perfect one month after lauching !

the only thing needed is more user settings options, and the option close gaps when trimming is not working for me - on gnome desktop (zorin 0S)

When switching from windows to linux i searched for an easy video editor to replace filmora i was used to. The closest thing i found first was PItivi, good project but very buggy since it is no longer maintained. Drift is the first project on linux i found with a look that doen't make your run before testing, an easy to use UI and it's the fastest video editor i've ever used on my laptop.
