Wtf does this do

Video Editor Replica is a browser based project built with plain HTML that imitates the visual layout and interaction style of Filmora, a well known video editing program. The README describes it as a replica of an editing interface rather than a full video editing application, meaning its purpose is to show what a Filmora style workspace looks and feels like in a browser rather than to actually process or export video files. It is aimed at people who want a ready made interface to study, use as a prototype, or build their own custom editor experience on top of. Getting it running is straightforward. You clone or download the repository, open the main HTML file directly in a web browser, or serve it through a simple local web server if you prefer. Once it loads, you can look through the editor panels and controls to see how the layout is arranged, and if you want to change anything you edit the HTML, CSS, and any related asset files directly, since the project does not appear to use a separate configuration file or build process. Refreshing the browser shows your changes right away. The requirements are minimal: any reasonably modern web browser, somewhere to host or open the files, and a small amount of storage for the project and its assets. A local static server is optional and mainly helps if you run into loading issues opening the HTML file directly. The README itself is fairly generic and does not go into the underlying code structure, specific files, or how any editing controls are actually wired up, so readers looking for real video editing functionality, such as trimming, exporting, or effects processing, will not find those details described here. It is released under the GNU GPL version 3.0 license.
