cartcut v0.5.12
The centerpiece of this release is the graphic layer: HTML and CSS laid out by Chromium and drawn into the canvas, with 28 built-in typography graphics and inline programs you can write and check from the editor. This release also brings a phone layout for the web demo, rounded corners on image and video clips, and resizable timeline tracks.
