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.

Download

Get Craftora_0.5.1_x64-setup.exe below and run it. Installed copies update themselves.

The installer isn't code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may say the publisher is unknown. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
