Install

What's new in 0.4.0

• Beat overlay bakes as one animated clip — configure (smoothness, estimate), watch progress, cancel; re-bakes replace instead of stacking
• Full transition suite — cross-fade, fades to black/white, wipes, push, zoom — all real in preview and export, with apply-to-selection / apply-to-all
• Lyrics on beats — paste words, group per beat, karaoke-style text on a Lyrics lane
• Word-by-word auto captions — whisper token timing, karaoke captions
• Titles take transitions and fades like any visual
• Unified fades — fade in/out ramps sound and picture together
• Platform export presets — YouTube 1080p/4K, Shorts/Reels/TikTok, Instagram feed, square, cinema
• Faster sessions: raw-byte artwork writes, capped history, bitmap cache eviction
