autocut 0.3.0
Stable release. The app is feature-complete for the goals it set out to
hit, packaged for Homebrew, and tested across a couple of machines.
Install
brew install --cask cobanov/tap/autocutBrew strips the Gatekeeper quarantine flag automatically. The manual
dmg path is still documented in the README for users without brew.
What's new since 0.2.0
- Native arm64 ffmpeg/ffprobe. Earlier builds shipped x86_64 binaries
that ran transparently on machines with Rosetta 2 installed but failed
silently on fresh Apple Silicon Macs. Sidecars are now native arm64. - Fixed sidecar binary resolution. Production bundles look for ffmpeg
next to the running executable (Contents/MacOS) in addition to
Resources, so the app no longer relies on stale dev-time paths to find
its helpers on the developer's own machine. - Detailed error reporting. When something fails the dropzone shows
the full anyhow chain (which spawn failed, which path, which stderr)
and a one-click "copy details" button that bundles the error with a
diagnostic snapshot (version, target, resolved binary paths) for bug
reports. - Auto-zoom long videos. The timeline opens pre-zoomed on clips over
90 seconds so individual cuts are legible without anyone having to
discover the navigator drag. - Export notification + show-in-finder. Successful exports send a
native macOS notification and reveal a "show in finder" action in the
export panel. - Homebrew Cask distribution at cobanov/homebrew-tap.
