Shrimply

you're telling me a shrimp made this video?!

Shrimply is a free and open-source video editor for creating videos from start to finish, whether you are making a quick edit or something fancy.

Shrimply is currently pre-alpha software, which means you should expect:

• Slop
• Unable to build for whatever reason
• Undocumented footguns
• Random performance regression
• Irreversible project file breakage
• Random crashes and resource leaks
• No security (Manim etc will allow for arbitrary code execution without validation)

For more information about Shrimply's features and workflows, visit the documentation website.

• Test editing workflows and project importers
• Help other users
