Luffy Create 1.3.4

This release prepares Luffy Create for public launch with stronger AI editing workflows, neat UI, better media handling, smoother transitions, improved captions, richer styling controls, and updated public documentation.

Highlights

• Tweak UI
• Repositioned Luffy Create as a free, open-source AI video editor with real timeline control.

• Added clearer uploaded asset naming for AI-friendly media references.
• Added AI sidebar API key settings UI placeholder for future model planner integration.

Editor And Timeline Improvements

• Added direct audio drag-to-timeline behavior from the audio asset list.
• Fixed audio clips so short effects keep their original duration instead of being stretched by unwanted looping.
• Added stronger audio properties, including volume up to 200%.
• Improved audio fade controls with separate fade duration and target fade volume multipliers.
• Added visual selection feedback for timeline video blocks.
• Improved background image editing so image background adjustments can be controlled after setting an image as a scene background.
• Fixed preview so image backgrounds also appear in preview mode.

Text, Shape, Media, And Styling

• Added drop shadow and inner shadow options for images, videos, shapes, and text-related workflows.
• Added solid and gradient fill controls for shapes with per-color opacity.
• Added text gradient support with up to three colors.
• Added thin font weight support and removed medium font weight from the editor controls.
• Added shape solid color opacity control.
• Added gradient border controls for shapes, images, and videos.
• Added animated gradient border support with speed control.
• Added icon size slider for easier icon resizing.

Animation And Perspective

• Added text bounce enter animation.
• Added final scale size controls for Scale In and Scale Out animations, including larger scale ranges.
• Improved animation compatibility so multiple text enter animations can work together.
• Added precise move animation coordinates with cursor coordinate display.
• Improved perspective controls for images, videos, and shapes.
• Fixed perspective border rendering so borders remain usable after perspective edits.
• Fixed video border radius behavior when perspective transforms are applied.

Backgrounds, Captions, And Sandbox

• Reworked transition timing so export transitions run at the start of the entering scene and hold the previous scene stable.
• Smoothed fade, zoom, and morph transitions to avoid dark or blank-frame flashes.
• Updated preview modal to use the same transition timing model as export.
• Improved export capture around video scenes by waiting for visible videos to be ready and seeked before frame capture.

1.3.1

Luffy Create v1.3.1

This release adds a bundled Python Sandbox, improves AI editor support, and fixes release packaging for all desktop builds.

New

• Added Python Sandbox for generating graphs, visual assets, and Manim math animations directly inside the editor.
• Added bundled Python runtime support so users do not need to manually install Manim, Matplotlib, NumPy, or related Python packages.
• Added Python Sandbox output preview, save-to-assets, and insert-into-scene workflow.
• Added AI editor documentation and improved structured AI command planning support.

Improved

• Improved release workflow for Windows, macOS, and Linux builds.
• Added authenticated GitHub API usage during bundled Python Sandbox preparation to avoid CI rate-limit failures.
• Added tracked app icon assets for release packaging.
• Improved Python Sandbox documentation in the user guide.
• Improved Manim/Matplotlib runtime checks and sandbox status display.

Fixed

• Fixed Windows release packaging failure caused by missing build/icon.ico.
• Fixed GitHub Actions Python Sandbox preparation failure caused by unauthenticated GitHub API rate limits.
• Fixed packaged app icon fallback issue by including required icon assets in the repository.
• Fixed Python Sandbox dependency isolation so bundled packages are preferred over system Python packages.

Notes

The Python Sandbox is included with release builds and is intended for creating editor-ready images and videos from supported preloaded libraries. The sandbox blocks arbitrary imports and package installation attempts to keep the feature focused and predictable.

Luffy Create v1.3.0

Luffy Editor Feature Release - July 2026

This release focuses on making Luffy Editor more practical for real video production: richer animation controls, stronger timeline editing, smoother media preview, better audio tooling, smarter charts, and several stability fixes found during real editing work.

New Features

• Added a dedicated Move tool for selected slide objects, with direction controls, speed, delay, and an option to move objects outside the scene boundary.
• Added a Perspective options panel so perspective editing can stay active while selecting different objects, with value-based controls alongside direct canvas handles.
• Added Color Pulse loop animation for text, including pulse color, count, duration, and delay controls.
• Added support for animation delays up to 60 seconds across element animation panels.
• Added a data points chart with configurable X/Y ranges, intervals, point color, point size, coordinate labels, and animation support.
• Added optional regression line support for data point charts, with start/end coordinates, line color, width, and animation integration.
• Added shift-drag reordering in the Layers panel for faster layer ordering on crowded scenes.
• Added scene timeline context actions: split scene at the clicked position and add scene after the selected scene block.
• Added a dedicated audio properties sidebar for selected timeline audio blocks.
• Added granular audio speed controls with both a slider and preset values from 0.25x to 2x.
• Added audio voice shaping controls for voice tone, pitch, bass, and saturation.
• Added an AI command foundation under src/ai with structured editor commands for future assistant-driven editing workflows.

Media And Timeline Updates

• Improved video blocks in the timeline to show scene-frame previews instead of a stretched single thumbnail.
• Removed the distracting violet video timeline overlay and cleaned up the video block presentation.
• Improved video loop handling so looped clips can fill longer scene durations and show loop state in the timeline.
• Increased spacing around timeline video blocks for clearer editing.
• Updated preview/timeline video playback behavior so video elements remain playable during preview instead of freezing after the first seconds.
• Improved exported audio mixing to include audio from unmuted video elements, not only standalone audio tracks.

Editor Improvements

• Moved audio editing controls out of the crowded timeline header and into the sidebar.
• Removed unused audio trim and advanced audio sections from the audio properties panel.
• Cleaned up shape picker UI by removing always-visible labels while keeping hover labels.
• Improved code block selection so code block style and layout options open correctly again.
• Improved image insertion so uploaded images keep their original aspect ratio.
• Confirmed and preserved GIF upload/playback support so animated GIFs are not flattened during editing.

Transitions And Animation

• Cleaned up duplicate transition entries.
• Smoothed transition behavior to reduce vibration and unstable motion.
• Improved Morph transition logic so matching text and media elements animate more naturally between slides, including font-size changes.
• Improved animation handling for chart regression lines and data point visuals.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed perspective-edited images resizing only their wrapper instead of resizing the visible image content.
• Removed the unwanted perspective grid/diagonal overlay that appeared on perspective-transformed images.
• Fixed chart insertion so clicking chart items adds the selected chart and opens its properties.
• Fixed layer panel dragging so shift-drag reorders layers instead of immediately opening the selected element panel.
• Fixed audio split timing so split audio respects playback speed when calculating the new start time.
• Fixed export audio mismatch where preview/timeline volume could sound correct but exported video missed video-element audio.
• Added fallback audio export paths so projects can still export if a video source has no audio stream.
