OpenVids 0.4.4 — many more places to find material, and a smoother preview.

Asset Search

  • 13 new built-in trusted sources:
    • NASA Scientific Visualization Studio: Earth and space videos and images, public domain;
    • The Met, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Cleveland Museum of Art and SMK (National Gallery of Denmark): public-domain artworks;
    • Wellcome Collection: medical and scientific images;
    • ccMixter: Creative Commons music;
    • Iconify: over 200,000 open-source icons and emoji;
    • Pexels and Pixabay: free stock photos and videos;
    • Flickr: openly licensed photos and videos;
    • Freesound: sound effects;
    • Smithsonian Open Access: CC0 images.
  • Pexels, Pixabay, Flickr, Freesound and Smithsonian need your own free API key. Settings › Asset Search shows a "Get a key" link next to each one; paste the key there. Until a key is added, that source is not searched.
  • Keys stay on your computer, are sent only to their own source and are never shown again after saving.
  • The licenses of stock sites (Pexels, Pixabay) count as free to use. Permissive open-source licenses (MIT, Apache and others) count as needing a credit. Neither triggers a license warning on export any more.

Preview

  • On a project with many short sound effects, playback in the preview no longer crawls and jumps back: the playhead follows the music or voice-over, not each effect as it starts.

Install

  • macOS: download OpenVids_0.4.4_aarch64.dmg below, open it and drag OpenVids to Applications. OpenVids 0.3.1 and later offer this update themselves. The app is not notarized, so macOS blocks the first launch: open it once, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click "Open Anyway" next to OpenVids. Or in Terminal: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OpenVids.app
  • Windows: download OpenVids_0.4.4_x64-setup.exe below and run it. It installs for your user only and downloads Microsoft Edge WebView2 if it is missing. The installer is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen warns about an unknown publisher: click "More info", then "Run anyway". OpenVids 0.3.1 and later offer this update themselves.

Requirements: macOS 11 or later on Apple Silicon, or Windows 10/11 (64-bit).
