What is the usecase for server-side video editing?

Speed. Your laptop simply is the "thin client" then, which can dramatically reduce your render time.
We're building a product that provides a web interface for creating videos that users can share as stories on social platforms. This includes applying transitions and effects to input images/videos, and generating a resulting video.

Maybe we could be using ffmpeg for this. We never really explored that in depth since OpenShot seemed like an obvious solution :P
