I need to make a light-weight application for video editing and viewing.

I was thinking of either writing an executable program written in Python, or a light-weight web app using JavaScript and HTML5. Flash, as a third option, is pretty much out of the question, since it’s too fat and has many security flaws.

EDIT: The video serving itself (read: the “heavy-weight stuff”) will be done by a dedicated fast library or service. Thus, the Python/Web-app questions is pretty much related only to the GUI and some very basic video manipulation, like jumping to a specific frame and such.

What is the preferable platform, considering speed and ease of use (for the user)? Should I just use Python, or maybe just build a small web-app for my task?

Thanks in advace,
Ory

    I eventually developed a web-app – HTML5 & CSS. Developing a GUI in HTML is a breeze. And the Chromium (Open-source Google Chrome) handles HTML5 pretty well.

    Unlike what people have said here, it is not heavy.
