2plot Media

A Dash 4 video studio — a browser NLE video editor and a cost‑effective 24/7 live camera, in one app.

2plot Media puts a real non‑linear video editor in the browser and a 24/7 live camera behind the same Dash app. Upload multiple media files, lay them out on a frame‑accurate timeline, trim and split, and watch the composite in a hybrid DOM + Canvas preview — then point a camera at the world and view it live from any page.

It is built on the dash-NLE-timeline package (the DashNleTimeline controller + the DashNleScene compositor) and reuses the Dash documentation boilerplate shell for navigation, theming, and first‑class AI/LLM + SEO integration.

🎬 Editor (the headline)

A browser NLE powered by DashNleTimeline + DashNleScene:

• Upload multiple media — drop in .mp4, .png, .gif; files stream straight to the

server (heavy bytes never pass through Dash callbacks) and land in your asset library.

• Place on a timeline — clips snap to a frame‑accurate grid (seconds = frame / fps).
• Trim, split, move, delete — direct manipulation with snapping and keyboard shortcuts.
• Composite preview — a hybrid DOM + Canvas scene draws layered video / image / text,

windowed to each clip's [start, end).

• Your project is the EDL — the in‑memory clip list *is* the edit decision list; export

it any time.

v1 preview is video‑only / muted (browser autoplay policy); audio playback + waveforms

are on the roadmap.

📡 Live Camera (supported)

A 24/7 stream you can watch from a Dash page, done cost‑effectively:

• Set CONFIG_STREAM_URL to a YouTube Live or HLS URL and the page renders the live

view — no extra backend, free delivery.

• No URL set? The page falls back to a local webcam monitor (getUserMedia, fully

client‑side, zero infrastructure).

• A copy‑paste ffmpeg runbook takes your USB/built‑in webcam live for free.
