@cobanov cobanov released this 19 May 07:11

Patch release on top of v0.4.1.

What's new

Performance

  • PCM cache for analysis (#8) - decoded PCM is now cached per source, so re-running silence detection (e.g. after tweaking thresholds) skips the ffmpeg decode pass entirely.

Export

  • Video-only export (#9) - export a cut without the audio track. Useful for B-roll or when you plan to score the result separately.

UX

  • Cancellable analysis jobs (#7) - the silence-detection pass can now be cancelled mid-run instead of having to wait it out or kill the app.

Hardening

  • Tightened default Tauri capabilities (#10) - the bundled capabilities file no longer grants permissions the app doesn't use.
  • Cleaner sidecar binary resolution (#11) - shared logic for ffmpeg/ffprobe/smoke sidecars, plus pinned BtbN release for reproducible Windows builds.
  • Windows build script fix - PowerShell -Command mode does not bind trailing args to $args, so the SHA256 check during the ffmpeg fetch was silently failing. Path is now embedded in the script.

Edge cases

  • Frontend state guards (#4) - fixed crashes when the cut editor was used with an empty timeline.
  • Video frame scheduler (#5) - smoother playback near cut boundaries.
  • Timeline + cut-editor edge cases (#6) - several small correctness fixes.
