Ripper Clipper 1.1.0

What's new

• Three build channels (stable / experimental / dev) so upcoming changes can be tried in a real installed build before they ship — this Editor-free public build is the stable channel.
• Duplicate-VOD detection — pasting a VOD that's already in your project switches to it instead of adding a second copy.
• Rolling project backups — every save keeps a snapshot of the previous version (10 kept), restorable from Project → Version history.
• Auto-update checking — checks this feed on launch, plus a "Check for updates" button in Settings → Diagnostics. Downloads and installs only ever happen with an explicit click.
• Audio-based sync cross-check — POV timing is now corroborated by matching audio between angles automatically, with a manual "Re-validate" action per POV.
• Every export now states which encoder it actually used (hardware or software), and AV1 sources can export as real AV1 when hardware support is available.
• Hardware-accelerated encoding (NVENC/QSV/AMF) is confirmed as the default whenever it's available and working, with automatic software fallback.

Notes

• Unsigned build — Windows SmartScreen will warn on first run ("More info" → "Run anyway"). Per-user install, no admin rights needed.
• Requires internet access on first launch to fetch FFmpeg and yt-dlp if not already present.
