The reframe release. ClipSmith learned to follow the action, gained export controls, and picked up settings + updates.
Highlights
- Auto-Reframe (subject tracking) — crop-to-fill can detect faces and people (in-process, pure-Rust ONNX inference — nothing leaves your machine) and pan the crop to keep the subject in shot, smoothing within a shot and cutting at scene changes. When automatic tracking misses a moment, drag the crop box to fix it and the pan eases back to auto; fixes show as timeline markers and are baked into the export. (Automatic tracking is strongest on ordinary real-people footage.)
- Export-quality presets — a Quality tier (Draft / Balanced / High) and a Resolution cap (Source / 1080p / 720p / 480p).
- Lossless mode — an opt-in
-c copyexport: instant, bit-identical, keeps the source format and all streams (keyframe-snapped trim, no reframe). - Audio controls — Mute and a per-clip Volume (0–200%), mirrored in the preview.
- Settings + in-app update check against GitHub Releases (prompt-only), with an optional check on startup.
Install
- Windows: the
.msi(or.exesetup). SmartScreen may warn on an unsigned app; choose More info → Run anyway. - macOS: the
.dmg(one universal build for Apple Silicon and Intel). Unsigned, so on first launch right-click the app → Open → Open.
