Craftora v0.6.0

What's new

New

• A sound when a download or export finishes, whether Craftora is in front or not. Windows
  notifications from Craftora are silent now, so you hear only this sound.
• Settings → Preferences: turn the finish sound on or off, and choose whether files imported
  from this PC go straight onto the timeline or wait under In this project.
• Time left for exports in the queue, worked out from how fast it's going.
• Filters, Effects and Transitions tabs on the right, each tile showing Craftora's cat doing
  it. Drag one onto the timeline (or click it to put it at the playhead):
  • Filters (14 colour looks) and effects (fade in, fade out, flash, blur, mirror) become
    blocks on a track above: dropped on a clip (or a piece of a split clip), one covers exactly
    that clip; dropped on an empty spot, stretch it over the part you want. It changes every
    picture under it, not text. The export draws exactly what the preview shows.
  • Slow motion, Speed up, Reverse: drop one on a clip (or a piece of a split clip) and it
    changes.
  • Smooth slow-mo: half speed with new in-between frames made in the export (motion
    interpolation), instead of each frame shown twice. It exports much more slowly than the other
    effects (several seconds per second of slowed video), so split out just the part to slow first.
  • Transitions: click the + where two clips meet (after a split, say), then pick one; or
    drop one on that join. A join with a transition shows a tick.
  • With a clip selected, clicking a tile puts it on that clip.
• Right-click a clip: Copy, Cut, Paste, Delete, Edit (Freeze frame, Reverse, Mirror, Rotate,
  Crop), Export this clip, Replace clip, Open file location. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V work too.
• Rotate a picture a quarter turn at a time (also in Edit).
• Cover on the main track: the project's picture, from the frame at the playhead or a
  picture on your PC. Exported videos have it built in as their cover.
• Every track works the same: any track takes videos, pictures, sound, text and effects, and
  clips can be dragged onto any track. A new edit starts with one track; + Track adds one at
  the top. Sound files get their own track under the main one, text goes above it. Every track
  has the same lock, hide and mute buttons and a ⋯ menu (track height, waveform size, magnet,
  remove). Hide hides a track's pictures, text and effects (its sound still plays); mute
  silences it. Video clips show frames along them, with their name, length and sound wave.
• The assistant works without an API key when you already have an AI on this PC. The
  Assistant tab lists what it finds: the AI programs Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and
  Antigravity (each uses its own sign-in), and local AI servers such as Ollama and LM Studio. Or
  type the address of any other AI server on this PC. Craftora runs AI programs in an empty
  folder with their file and command tools blocked. They're slower than a key (about 10 to 35
  seconds per reply). Switch between them and your API keys from the list at the top.

Changed

• Tracks start with the magnet off: clips move freely on every track, the main track too, and
  filters, effects and pictures can go on any of them. Turn the magnet on in a track's ⋯ menu
  (dropping a transition turns it on for that track).
• The playhead goes anywhere on the timeline, past the last clip and on an empty timeline.
• Files imported from this PC wait under In this project instead of going onto the timeline:
  drag them in or press their +. Fetched links still go straight onto the timeline. (Settings →
  Preferences brings the old way back.)
• Smooth slow-mo exports 2–3× faster: each smooth clip is made in up to 4 pieces at once (fewer
  when memory is short), then joined frame-exactly. Reversed smooth clips, and frame rates that
  don't divide evenly (24 fps exported at 30), still take the slower one-pass way.
• The queue drop-down is smaller, and its progress line no longer wraps.
• Reverse is an effect only: drag Effects → Reverse onto a clip (the Edit panel's Reverse tick
  box is gone). Right-click ▸ Edit ▸ Reverse still turns it off again.
• Edit and Export are separate tabs on the right (they were one, Edit & export): Edit has the
  selected clip's settings, Export the export settings and Add to queue (Ctrl+Enter still works
  from anywhere).
• The left sidebar and the right panel can be resized: drag their inner edge (a line shows
  when you point at it). Craftora remembers the widths, and the middle always keeps room for the
  preview (a narrow timeline shows its tools as icons). File details in the sidebar and panel tabs
  stay on one line instead of wrapping.
• The timeline looks like a familiar editor's: video clips are teal, with their name and
  length on a bar along the top, frames in the middle and the sound wave along the bottom. The
  main track is taller, with Cover at the right of its buttons and a line above it; tracks sit in
  the middle of the timeline when there are only a few. The ruler has small ticks between its
  times. Effect blocks are now blue.
• Text is always drawn over pictures in exports, as the preview shows it, whatever track
  it's on.
• Settings → Links lists each website with when it was last used (opened in Craftora's
  window, or fetched from with its login). The box for typing a website to open is gone; when a
  link needs a login, Fetch still offers to open its page. Sign out of all stays.
• Exporting an edited video that uses links first downloads each link whole (a Download for
  editing in the Queue; the export says "Waiting for its video to download"), then exports from
  the file. After it, the editor plays the downloaded file instead of streaming the link.
• Fetch shows what a link holds before adding it: its picture, title, website, who posted it,
  length, what's in it, qualities, size, captions and what happens when it's added, with a
  website check (VirusTotal key) and Cancel. Nothing is added or downloaded until you click
  Add to project.
• Settings no longer has "New projects export as": every project starts as Video (MP4); pick
  Audio only in Export when you want sound.
• A video's picture can be changed: click its picture under In this project (left) and pick
  an image on your PC. It shows there, on the project and in History, and stays after the video
  is downloaded for editing (which used to swap in a frame of the video).
• Downloads can be deleted from the Downloads page (the file goes to the Recycle Bin), not
  only hidden.
• Craftora opens maximized. Restore still gives the usual window.
• The preview can be made bigger or smaller: drag the bar between the preview and the
  timeline (or focus it and press ↑/↓). Craftora remembers the size.
• Every download is checked before Craftora keeps it (Download for editing, and exports cut
  straight from a link): it must really be a video or sound file, and your PC's antivirus
  (Microsoft Defender or the one you installed) scans it, as browsers do. A file that fails is
  deleted and the Queue says why.
• Websites in the sign-in window can't start other programs on your PC (meeting apps, app
  store links, Windows tools…), not even from an ad inside the page; before, Windows asked
  "Open …?" and one click started it.

Fixed

• Website checks use only your own VirusTotal key (Settings → Links); no key is built into
  Craftora.
• Downloads listed Windows' hidden files (desktop.ini, which can't be deleted there); hidden and
  system files are left out now.
• Clicking the empty space above or below the tracks didn't move the playhead (only the ruler
  and the tracks did); now a click or drag anywhere on the timeline does.
• The track lines on the left didn't meet the lines across the timeline (they were half a
  scrollbar lower).
• Slow motion, Speed up or Reverse on a picture now says pictures have no speed.
• The + on a join couldn't be clicked right after a split: the playhead stands exactly there
  after splitting and took the click. The + is now on top.
• Light glass: clip names on the timeline were hard to read (white on pale teal).
• Glass themes: the Queue's list was see-through, with the video showing sharply behind it.
• Editing felt slow, worst on fast screens: during playback the editor stopped and restarted
  two of its listeners on every frame (hundreds of calls a second to the app's back end). It now
  draws about twice as many frames a second.
• A slow file from this PC said "Still loading from the website…": it now says Loading…; the
  website wording is kept for links.
• The playhead couldn't be dragged past the edge of the timeline: the timeline now scrolls
  along, as it does when dragging a clip's edge. Its pin is bigger and easier to grab.
• Exports with a Mirror effect block failed ("Invalid argument"): FFmpeg refused the way the
  flip was limited to the block's time.
• Some videos from a website had no picture while others from the same site did: Craftora
  only tried the website's largest picture, which isn't there for every video (YouTube's, for
  one), and gave up after one try. It now tries the video's other pictures in turn, and once
  more after a dropped connection.
• Fetching sometimes failed on a website that usually works: a moment's network trouble (a
  timeout, a dropped connection, the site's server failing for a moment) now gets one more try.
• An export deleted in File Explorer stayed in Exports and on Home: Craftora now drops it
  when it starts or when you switch back to it (not for an unplugged drive: those stay listed).
  The Downloads page reads its folder again then too.
• **Pausi...

Craftora v0.5.1

What's new

New

• Style your captions. Click the captions on the preview (or a caption clip) to pick their
  font (Segoe UI, Arial, Impact, Georgia, Comic Sans), colour, size and what keeps them readable:
  a shadow, an outline or a dark box. Text clips get the same font and edge choices. The preview
  and the export look the same.
• Save captions as .srt from the Captions section or the Transcript tab, for YouTube or any
  player.
• Pause anything in the queue. Downloads carry on where they stopped; exports start again when
  resumed. Pause all pauses everything (live recordings keep their Stop button).
• Notifications when a download, export or recording finishes or fails while you're in another
  window. Click one to jump back to it. The taskbar button shows overall progress.
• Choose your Downloads folder in Settings → Saving or on the Downloads page.
• Ads and trackers blocked in Craftora's sign-in window (Settings → Privacy, on by default;
  turn it off if a site's login or player stops working).
• A new welcome. The app icon comes alive when Craftora opens. It shows at every start until
  you tick Don't show this again.

Better

• Closing Craftora asks first when a download or export is unfinished, and nothing it started
  keeps running after it closes (or crashes). Paused downloads are kept for next time.
• Slow link previews offer Download for editing right in the preview.
• Videos play when you hover them in lists again, from a lighter stream so they start quickly.
• Tidier file lists: Exports, Downloads and History show one line per file with round icon
  buttons and short dates. The Exports page has an In progress section.
• Clearer words: an export from a link says "Getting the video" while it fetches, instead of
  looking like a download.
• Home shows your 3 latest projects and See all for the rest.
• The Working on box in the sidebar scrolls when it's full, so Settings never disappears.

Fixed

• The welcome guide's speech bubble cut off its last letter.
• Export size showed 0 MB for a video from your PC (exported as is).
• "~0.0 MB" in the queue for downloads from sites that don't list a file's size: it shows the
  real size once the download starts.
• The mouse-wheel glide could stop short, freeze a list or shake it.
• The "Saved info" list still popped up under some fields.
• The sign-in window no longer opens pop-ups other than sign-in pages, starts downloads by
  itself or opens other programs from a link.

Craftora v0.5.0

What's new

Better

• Smaller. FFmpeg's two programs now share one copy of their libraries instead of carrying a
  full one each, and two whisper files Craftora never used are gone: about 135 MB less on disk, and
  the installer is a third smaller (about 100 MB instead of 150). Updating removes the old copies.
• Less to load at start. The stream player is loaded only when a stream preview needs it, which
  halves the code Craftora reads when it opens.
• Less memory in the background. While Craftora is minimized (say, during a long download or
  export), it gives back about 55 MB of memory it only needs on screen.
• The queue gets out of the way. It opens when a download or export starts and folds down to
  its one-line header when everything is done (it stays open if something failed). The arrow still
  opens and closes it.
• Pages line up. Home and every sidebar page share one centred column, and long explanations
  wrap at a comfortable width.
• Previews of links play the best quality the video has (up to 4K). They used to pick YouTube's
  only file with sound built in, which is 360p and looked blurry full screen. A new quality picker
  next to the speed (Best, 1080p, 720p…) lowers it for slow Wi-Fi; exports keep their own quality.
  The Smooth/Sharp setting is gone. At the same size, YouTube's sharper VP9 file is preferred.
• Know what you'll get before it's queued. Add to queue shows a short summary first: picture
  quality, whether it's copied as is or re-made, length, file name and size, where it's saved, and
  whether captions are drawn in. (Ctrl+Enter still adds straight away.)
• Plain error messages. A slip inside Craftora now says "Something went wrong inside
  Craftora…" instead of showing programmer text.

New

• Themes. Settings → Theme: Classic (the look you know, still the default), Dark glass
  or Light glass. The glass themes are see-through panels over a soft glow that takes the
  colours of the video playing and eases into each new one.
• Smoother everywhere. Switches slide to the option you pick, buttons give a soft press,
  changing the theme fades over, and the mouse wheel scrolls with a gentle glide.
• Fix caption text. In the Transcript tab, search a wrong word or name and Replace all
  changes it in every caption at once; the pencil on a line retypes just that caption (Enter keeps
  it, Escape drops it). The preview, exports and the Transcript all show the fix, and Ctrl+Z undoes it.
• Report an AI reply. Report a reply under the assistant's chat opens a short form to tell us
  about a wrong or inappropriate answer (it names the AI and model; you paste the reply yourself).

Fixed

• "Fetch this video" fetched the episode before. After a player's "next episode" (or any new
  video on the same page), it fetched the video that played first. It now fetches the one playing
  when you click it.
• "Is this link safe?" was missing from the installed app. Check is back next to Fetch:
  add your own free VirusTotal key once in Settings → Links (Check takes you there), and
  Craftora tries it before keeping it in Windows Credential Manager.
• YouTube previews stuck on a blurry picture (or "can't play in the preview"): YouTube sometimes
  refuses the file it has just listed, and the preview showed only the video's cover picture.
  Craftora now checks the file first and plays the next best one if it's refused.
• ">>" before captions whenever someone starts talking (YouTube's mark for a new speaker) is
  gone from the preview, exports and the Transcript.
• Export size showing 0 MB after changing the preview quality or reopening a project: YouTube can
  list the same quality under another format the next time. The export keeps the quality you
  picked (or 1080p if it's gone).
• Microsoft Store version: it now includes Deno and whisper.cpp like the GitHub installer, so
  YouTube and captions from the sound work there too.
• Exporting with captions: captions no longer count toward the 150-clip limit, so long videos
  with hundreds of captions export (up to 5,000 texts and captions).
• Windows Security blocking downloads and exports: with Controlled folder access on, Windows
  blocked FFmpeg and yt-dlp from writing into Videos and the download started over. They now work
  in Craftora's own folder and only Craftora saves into Videos; if Windows blocks that too, Craftora
  says how to allow it. A save folder named Downloads no longer gets a second Downloads inside.
• No more "Saved info" list popping up under the link box and other fields.
• Captions made from the sound show up with the words, not seconds before them, and go away
  when the talking stops instead of staying through the silence. (Under music the timing stays as
  before.)
• Captions from the sound only when you ask. They no longer start by themselves (they kept the
  processor busy for minutes): press CC on the preview, or Make captions from the sound in the
  Transcript tab. It also
  redoes captions made before this version, with the better timing. The Settings choice is gone.
• Music notes (♪) and Khmer in exported videos showed as empty boxes; they're drawn now.

Craftora v0.4.0

The biggest Craftora update yet: captions for every video, editing by deleting words, live
stream recording, your own AI, and a sidebar with a page for everything you've made.

Highlights

• Captions for every video. From the website, or made from the sound on your PC (no internet
  needed). They go into the export; drag them anywhere and resize them, or pick Top / Middle / Bottom.
• Edit by text. The Transcript tab shows what's said: select words and press Delete to cut them
  out of the video, or remove every "um" in one click.
• Record live streams while you edit them. Stop recording and it becomes a normal video file.
• Use your own AI. The assistant works with Gemini, ChatGPT or Claude, with your own API key,
  kept in Windows Credential Manager and only ever sent to that company.
• A page for everything. Projects, Media library, Downloads, History, Exports and Settings, with
  Hide (and a Privacy switch to keep hidden things out of sight). Videos play when you rest the mouse
  on them.
• More sites work. Sites behind bot checks, players embedded from other sites, and YouTube after
  visiting it in Craftora's window. Downloads can be paused, resumed and renamed.
• Privacy: an HTTP proxy for every connection, and a list of websites that saved cookies, each
  with Forget (which now really forgets).
• Smoother and sharper: pages and panels ease in, link previews can play in their best quality,
  sound waves match the sound, and big files no longer crash Craftora.
• Updates in Settings, and Craftora's cat on the installer.

Heads-up: the installer is about 45 MB bigger, because it now includes Deno (so YouTube keeps
working) and whisper.cpp (captions from the sound). The first time Craftora makes captions it
downloads a 148 MB speech model; you can turn that off in Settings → Captions.

The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may say the publisher is unknown:
choose More info, then Run anyway. Installed copies of 0.3 update by themselves.

Everything in this version

New

• Smoother. Pages fade in, the right panel slides open and shut, and dialogs and menus ease in
  instead of popping up. (Turned off if Windows is set to show fewer animations.)
• Preview quality. Settings → Preview quality of links: Smooth (up to 720p, the default,
  good on slow Wi-Fi) or Sharp (the best quality the site offers, for example 1080p on YouTube
  instead of 360p).
• Hide things you don't want to see. Projects, Media library, Downloads and
  History get a Hide button on each row, like Exports: hidden items move to a folded
  Hidden list at the bottom (Unhide brings them back; nothing is deleted). Select can
  hide several projects or links at once, and hidden projects leave Home too.
• Keep hidden things private. Settings → Privacy → Don't show them takes the Hidden lists
  away from every page, so nobody using the PC can open them; Show hidden items brings them back.
• Craftora's cat on the installer. The setup file shows Craftora's icon instead of the
  installer tool's.
• Updates in Settings. Settings → Updates shows your version, Check for updates, Install
  and restart and Check automatically (also still under Home → About).
• Use your own AI. The assistant now works with Gemini, ChatGPT (OpenAI) or Claude
  (Anthropic): pick one in the Assistant tab and paste its API key. Craftora tries the key before
  keeping it, stores it in Windows Credential Manager, and only ever sends it to that company.
  Switch AI from the list at the top of the chat.
• Videos play when you rest the mouse on them. In the sidebar's media, the Media library,
  Projects, Exports, Downloads and the Queue, a video's picture plays it (muted) while the mouse
  is over its row, and stops when it leaves. Projects play their first video from where its clip
  starts. Off when Windows is set to show fewer animations.
• Captions go into the export. With captions on (CC in the preview), the exported video has
  them too, exactly as the preview shows them, also for captions made on this PC without internet.
  Drag captions anywhere on the preview and resize them from a corner: every caption moves
  and resizes together (Undo works), or pick Top / Middle / Bottom next to the CC button. Long
  captions and long text now wrap onto lines that fit the picture, the same in the preview and the
  export, instead of running off its edges.
• Hide saved websites. In Settings → Links, Hide takes a website off the list of websites
  that saved cookies (its login stays); Show hidden brings them back. Forget now really
  deletes a website's cookies: before, YouTube and Google stayed signed in.
• A fuller sidebar. New pages: Projects (every project, to pick up where you left off),
  Media library (every file you've imported, in any project: search by name, show only videos,
  sound or pictures, and star the ones you use often under Saved), Downloads (what's
  downloading, paused or failed, and every finished download, ready to add to a project), and
  Settings (where files are saved, whether new projects export video or sound only, how many
  downloads and exports run at once, and the link settings that used to be on Home). Downloads now
  go into a Downloads folder inside your chosen save folder.
• Edit a live stream while it's still live. Paste the link to a stream that's on right now
  (your own shop's site, YouTube, Twitch…). Craftora records it and puts it in Media, and its
  length keeps growing as it records. Drag in the moments you want and export them while the stream
  goes on. Click Stop recording in the Queue (or just end the stream) and the whole recording
  becomes a normal video file in Videos\Craftora\Downloads.
• "Fetch this video" finds more videos. It now sees players embedded from another site (such as
  a streaming service's player on your shop page) and pages with lots of pictures, and it finds a
  finished stream's replay too. If a page plays its video over a direct live connection (WebRTC),
  Craftora says so instead of asking you to play it again.
• Works with sites that block bots. When a site's bot check (such as Cloudflare's) turns the
  download away, Craftora tries again as a browser, downloads the video and edits it from your PC.
  A live stream from such a site records through Craftora's page window, so keep that window open
  while it records. These videos preview right away while they download, and Export unlocks once
  the download is done (their links often expire, so Craftora exports the downloaded copy).
• Sharper link previews. Streams start at good quality instead of the lowest one.
• The sound wave matches the sound. Links no longer show a made-up wave: the real one appears
  once the video is downloaded (Cut silences no longer cuts at made-up quiet spots either).
• Pause a download and finish it later. Click pause on a "Download for editing" in the Queue.
  It keeps what it has, waits there even after you close Craftora, and continues where it stopped
  when you click resume.
• Delete exported files. Each file in Exports has a Delete button: it moves the file to
  the Recycle Bin (so a wrong click can be undone there) and takes it off the list and Home.
• See what each website saved, and forget it. Under Links (Home and Settings), Craftora lists
  the websites that saved cookies in its window (from a visit or a login), each with Forget.
  Forgetting YouTube or Google forgets both, since they share one login. Sign out of all is still there.
• YouTube works again after visiting it in Craftora's window. Craftora now includes Deno, which
  yt-dlp uses for the JavaScript YouTube asks for; without it, YouTube's cookies made fetches fail with
  "Requested format is not available".
• Captions from the website. When a fetched video comes with captions (the uploader's own, or
  automatic ones like YouTube's), Craftora reads them right away: they show on the preview (turn them
  off with CC), and Add captions on the clip puts them on a Captions track as text you can
  edit and export. They stay after the video is downloaded for editing.
• Captions for every video. A video that comes without captions (from any website, or from your
  PC) gets some made from its sound: Craftora listens to what's said and writes it down, on your PC.
  Media shows how it's going. The first time, Craftora downloads a 148 MB speech model. Turn it off
  in Settings → Captions for videos without any.
• Edit by text. A Transcript tab next to Edit & export shows what's said on the timeline,
  from the video's captions. Click a sentence or word to jump there; select words and press
  Delete (or Cut these words) to cut them out of the video, as one Ctrl+Z step. Cut every
  "um" removes the ums, uhs and hmms at once. Search what's said with the box at the top.
• A calmer sidebar. Pages are grouped under Make and Library, Settings sits at the bottom,
  and a Working on box shows what's downloading, exporting, recording or getting captions.
  History lives on its own page now, and yt-dlp and FFmpeg only show up when one is missing.
• Privacy: use a proxy. Settings → Privacy takes an HTTP proxy. Fetching, downloads,
  previews, pictures, captions and the AI assistant then go through it, so websites see its address
  instead of yours; Craftora's window follows after Restart now. If the proxy stops working,
  Craftora doesn't quietly connect directly. Check shows the address websites see. (A VPN app
  needs no setting: it already covers the whole PC.)
• A History page. History in the ...

What's new in Craftora

0.1.0 (October 2026)
The first release.

A timeline editor: a main video track, picture-in-picture tracks, audio tracks and a text track. Move, trim, split, delete, snap, zoom, and undo or redo everything.
