ScriptCut v0.1.0-alpha.5 alpha

What's changed

Added

  • Create Clips is now a clearer first-class workflow, with full-video editing and clip export easier to distinguish.
  • Clip preparation keeps framing and captions close at hand, with resolution, format, audio enhancement, and background-removal controls under Advanced export settings.
  • Successful clip exports surface the video output and, when caption burn-in is unavailable, a matching .srt sidecar directly.

Changed

  • Transcript-selected clips move directly into Prepare, and newly created manual clips become the active clip immediately.
  • Clip queues distinguish Prepare, Exporting, retry/failure, and Exported states; successful exports show a clearer result while batch retry and recovery remain available.
  • Publishing copy is clearly optional and does not block clip export.
  • Installation and first-export guidance now follows the current alpha4+ desktop workflow.

Fixed

  • Opening new media clears media-specific AI and clip state while preserving reusable provider and preference settings; reopened projects restore relevant Clips context.
  • Stale AI and transcription work can no longer attach results or UI state from old media or projects to the current workspace.

Current alpha notes

  • Product version remains 0.1.0; this release identity is v0.1.0-alpha.5.
  • The public build remains macOS Apple Silicon (arm64) only, ad-hoc signed, and not notarized; macOS Open Anyway approval may be required. There is no Windows/Linux public build or social publishing API.
  • Publishing copy remains optional, and caption burn-in may fall back to a real .srt sidecar.

ScriptCut alpha status

This is a public prerelease alpha for creator validation. It is provided from the official ScriptCut GitHub repository and uses an ad-hoc code signature for package integrity.

Supported platform

macOS Apple Silicon (arm64) only. Intel, Windows, Linux, and browser builds are not public installer targets in this alpha.

What's included

  • A self-contained Electron application with portable Python 3.11.15 and the pinned core runtime.
  • Bundled FFmpeg and FFprobe for local export.
  • Baseline Whisper transcription code and a trusted model manifest.
  • Optional capabilities may not be included in this build.

Install

  1. Open the official ScriptCut Releases page.
  2. Download the Apple Silicon DMG for v0.1.0-alpha.5.
  3. Open the DMG and move or open ScriptCut as appropriate for the DMG layout.
  4. Attempt to launch ScriptCut and select a video.

macOS first-launch notice

This macOS build uses an ad-hoc code signature for package integrity, but it is not signed with Apple Developer ID and is not notarized by Apple. macOS may block the first launch because the app is not from an identified developer. If you obtained this DMG from the official ScriptCut GitHub release, open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway, confirm the macOS prompt, and then open ScriptCut normally. Do not use this approval path for random applications or downloads.

Baseline transcription model behavior

If the verified baseline model is not present, ScriptCut downloads and verifies it on the first transcription and shows progress. The model is stored in app-managed local storage; later baseline transcription can run without model-network access. The model is not embedded in this DMG.

Optional capabilities

WhisperX, NeMo/Parakeet, pyannote, DeepFilterNet, MediaPipe, OpenCV, MoviePy, and other optional stacks may not be bundled. The packaged baseline path remains the supported transcription path for this alpha.

Verify download

From the directory containing the downloaded files:

shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt

The checksum must match the exact public DMG filename: ScriptCut-v0.1.0-alpha.5-arm64.dmg.

Build provenance

Advanced verification can confirm which official repository, workflow, and commit produced the artifact:

gh attestation verify ScriptCut-v0.1.0-alpha.5-arm64.dmg \
  -R FernandoAbishai/ScriptCut \
  --signer-workflow FernandoAbishai/ScriptCut/.github/workflows/release-unsigned.yml \
  --source-digest 9210451d9827353d8d7754920842e4f5a6925840

gh attestation verify release-manifest.json \
  -R FernandoAbishai/ScriptCut \
  --signer-workflow FernandoAbishai/ScriptCut/.github/workflows/release-unsigned.yml \
  --source-digest 9210451d9827353d8d7754920842e4f5a6925840

Attestation establishes build provenance; it does not prove that the software is free of bugs or vulnerabilities. Checksums establish integrity and do not make macOS treat this app as notarized.

Known alpha limitations

  • The app uses an ad-hoc code signature but is not signed with Apple Developer ID or notarized, so the first launch requires the macOS approval path above.
  • This release is a prerelease alpha; keep original media and project backups.
  • Optional capabilities and some caption/export behavior depend on the packaged resources and current baseline support.
