Had an absolutely terrific two days at Demuxed in London!

Met tons of great people, and I have proudly lost my "conference speaker virginity" now 👀 Excited to share this talk once the VOD drops!

Huge thanks to the Demuxed organizers for letting me have a 20-min slot. 💘

Had a blast at Demuxed day 1 yesterday! This is me (second on the left) with the Remotion folks and Konsti from Diffusion Studio!!

At the airport heading to London for two days of Demuxed! Really excited to give my talk about Mediabunny and meet a bunch of cool devs who I will to convince to use it 😊

Lowkey inspirational! Love how literally all of us have some anecdote to share regarding doomscrolling. Have you been able to replace it?

I'm not much of a drawer myself, but I'm thinking about making music again. That's something I did a ton during my childhood!

Haha man, thanks. Browser games are dangerous man, I've been playing my own Marble Blast every day since releasing it because it's just so easy to open.

I started coding in 2016, was introduced to it in school and just naturally enjoyed it and wanted to keep learning.

Exactly, and the API remains general enough to not be limiting.

Have you been drawing since childhood? Okay I mean, we all drew in childhood, but y'know what I mean. Been passionate about it!

Theo using FFmpeg to build SoraMarker is akin to using create-react-app for a new project in 2025. On the web, it's slow, unnecessarily bulky, and makes very little use of the platform.

I rebuilt it using Mediabunny, and it runs 5x as fast while using 0.8% the bundle size⚡️

Probably, go play with it! :D

Generally, Mediabunny's Conversion API is a bit of a slippery slope towards feature creep, where the "final" version is full-featured clip-based media compositor. I don't wanna go that far, that's for another library, but this new API is a good addition I think.

Mediabunny v1.24.0 ships with a highly-requested feature: custom video & audio transformations in the Conversion API! 🚀

This means you can now use Mediabunny to add watermarks and overlays, perform color correction, or apply any other video transformation; right in the browser.

Discord should leave tombstones for deleted messages. All other messengers do this already, and I think it's needed when you have deletion, so I'm not sure why Discord hasn't added it.

Elaborate?

Mediabunny was the project that finally made me take the leap and set up a Discord. It's nice!

Coming from Svelte 4? Or something else?

Haha yup, good old advice. But it's not always obvious. Most libraries perform identical in development, so typically you don't do the release build before testing. But cool you were able to find the source of it, and cool that you're embracing Svelte! The world's better with less React in it.

Open-source project management is quite challenging. I have to balance the roadmap, bug reports, feature requests, etc., and even on my days off, I find myself being dragged into the project because I feel responsible. So for me, this takes conscious effort and improvement.

Love the style, they look almost real from afar but obviously fake when you look close. I like it!

It's wild how much more clarity you have about your problem when you rewrite your code multiple times. You start seeing patterns that in hindsight seem to obvious, you wonder why you didn't solve it like that the first time around.

Wow that was quick!

I fear one todo is more difficult than the other 👀 Gonna be lit!

Big shoutout to @rikschennink.com, the creator of FilePond and Pintura, for becoming Mediabunny's first silver sponsor! Dankjewel! 🥈💘

Mediabunny v1.21.0 ships with transparency support in the Conversion API, hugely improved error messages if conversions aren't possible (due to missing codec support), and a couple of fixes as usual! 🚀

The kind of transparency Mediabunny supports now is using alpha side data, meaning using a second stream of packets carrying alpha data, parallel to the color data. You can use AV1 for that, which is basically the best codec out there right now (or VVC, but that's not widely used).

Feels like many people don't know how to do that.

Mediabunny v1.20.0 is another big milestone for the project: it can now read & write transparent videos! 🚀 All directly in the browser, super fast, no server needed.

This was more challenging that it seems on the surface (took over 1000 LOC). A blog post about this will follow!

Am I wrong for spelling it Mediabunny? Lots of people misspell it as MediaBunny. Mediabunny felt cleaner to me. Might be my inner German speaking!

Won't change the name, just wondering.

Cracked as always. Love it

Haha thanks man! Means a lot actually, since writing copy is like, 0.01% of what I do typically :D Guess my brain picked up good patterns from the wild!

Mediabunny v1.19.0 comes with ID3 metadata support in .wav files, better support for alternate environments like React Native, and fancy new Symbol.dispose functionality for Inputs! 🚀

Always cool to work with cutting-edge JS features.

When's the last time your IDE made a sound?
