A big release focused on the signal timeline, on-demand analysis, and a unified new look.

Reworked signal timeline

  • Modernized timeline window with a cleaner layout that fits properly on screen.
  • Run analysis on demand — trigger action, object, and transcript analysis right from the timeline instead of committing to everything up front. Per-signal Run buttons replace the old "Skip highlights" toggle.
  • Action filter, transcript keyword marking, and a ghost transcript track for context.
  • Peak-jump arrows on the audio waveform row to hop between loud moments.
  • Zoom-adaptive time ruler that no longer squishes as you zoom.
  • Timeline now shows the real match score from search, not a flat 1.0.

Transcription

  • Language picker for on-demand transcription, defaulting to English.
  • Transcript search keywords moved to Basic Settings; keyword controls now grey out when transcript is off.

Visual & CLIP search

  • Per-object show/hide for visual search with a foldable list, plus show all / none and per-object remove.
  • CLIP search now runs on NVIDIA (torch/CUDA), not just Intel/OpenVINO.
  • Reused frame embeddings so re-wording a query doesn't rescan the whole video.
  • "Stop on find" now defaults off.

Object detection & custom action models (Advanced tab)

  • Object model selector and a new Mixed detector mode.
  • Import custom action models — OpenVINO decoders and R3D (.pth) models — with automatic, GPU-first backend selection and correct training normalization.

Scoring

  • Intro/outro highlight points and configurable boost-window durations are now exposed in the Basic tab, combined into tidy single rows.

Rendering & VR

  • Choose CPU (VR-safe libx265) or GPU encoding for highlight rendering.
  • Real left-eye crop for both plain and live-overlay VR preview.
  • Faster live-face decoding via raw P010/NV12 planes.

Look & feel

  • New central theme — a neutral graphite base with one crisp blue accent — applied across the timelines, download tab, and controls.
  • Batch progress row, painted download icons, and a quieter tab bar.

Packaged-build fixes

  • Face search now works in the packaged .exe (face models are bundled).
  • Preview correctly shows video with the overlay off in packaged builds.

Downloads

Windows — recommended

Download VideoHighlighter-Windows-Setup.zip (first asset below), extract it
anywhere, and double-click Install-VideoHighlighter.bat. The script
downloads both archive parts and unpacks them automatically.

Manual: grab both VideoHighlighter-Windows-0.9.0.7z.001 and
VideoHighlighter-Windows-0.9.0.7z.002, put them in the same folder, and extract
the .001 — 7-Zip joins the parts automatically. Downloading only one part will
fail to extract.

macOS: you only need the .dmg.
