Open Video Craft v1.0.2

Open-source screen recording and local video editing

Open Video Craft records your screen, camera, microphone, and system audio into separate local tracks, then lets you trim, arrange, subtitle, and export from a desktop timeline. No account or cloud upload is required for the core workflow.

Full Changelog: v1.0.0...v1.0.1

Open Video Craft v1.0.0

Open Video Craft 1.0.0 is the first stable release. It brings the complete
local-first screen recording, editing, subtitle, audio, and export workflow
together in one production-ready desktop app.

Important

This stable release intentionally resets the beta 2.x version line to
1.0.0. Existing beta installations may not auto-update to a numerically
lower version. Install v1.0.0 manually once; normal automatic updates resume
with future stable releases.

Highlights

• Redesigned floating recorder with a larger camera preview, the Open Video Craft logo, a clear red record button, and a source picker for all or specific displays.
• Smooth inline subtitle editing for cue text and precise start/end timecodes.
• Readable, millisecond-accurate MM:SS.mmm subtitle timestamps.
• Blue/cyan Gemini and green Cohere liquid-glass setup prompts.
• Claude Code appears immediately in AI settings while its local CLI status is checked.
• Refreshed launcher, recorder, editor, and timeline screenshots.

Downloads

• Windows: Setup installer or portable x64 executable.
• macOS Apple Silicon: arm64 DMG or ZIP.
• macOS Intel: x64 DMG or ZIP.

The macOS update archives are signed, notarized, and verified by the release
workflow. Windows installers are built and checked by the Windows release job.
