OpenReel Video 0.2.0 upgrades browser editor

This is more interesting as a local-first media architecture play than as a pure AI product: it tries to make serious video editing work entirely in the browser without giving up performance or privacy.

• –WebGPU and WebCodecs are the real story here; they are what make high-resolution, client-side editing plausible instead of gimmicky
• –The no-install, no-upload pitch is strong for privacy-sensitive users, but it also raises the bar on memory use, browser compatibility, and export stability
• –AI subtitles, AI upscaling, and action-based scripting push it beyond a simple CapCut clone toward semi-automated editing workflows
• –MIT licensing and public development make it easy to fork, but adoption will depend on whether the UX can keep pace with desktop editors
• –For AI developers, it is a useful reference point for building local-first, browser-native apps that blend media processing and automation
