VidChopper 1.0.0 is the first stable release. It puts the Windows desktop app and command-line tool on one shared Qt-free probe, planning, export, progress, verification, and manifest engine.

Highlights

  • Keeps the existing Qt desktop workflow while removing UI-thread waits during GPU and ffmpeg detection.
  • Uses the same process, probe, planning, and export behavior in VidChopper.exe and VidChopperCLI.exe.
  • Preserves JSON/YAML ChapterFiles, embedded chapters, dry-run planning, deterministic output naming, and JSON/CSV manifests.
  • Bounds in-memory desktop logs and keeps curated and advanced output responsive during long exports.
  • Includes the first-party VidChopper CLI agent skill and its integrity manifest for offline use.
  • Verifies the portable archive on a clean Windows runner before publication.

Supported Boundary

VidChopper 1.0.0 supports Windows 10 and Windows 11 on x64. The release archive contains the GUI, CLI, Qt runtime, Microsoft Visual C++ runtime, yaml-cpp.dll, license, notices, and the offline CLI skill.

ffmpeg and ffprobe are required but intentionally not bundled. The clean release evidence uses FFmpeg 7.1.1. Install the tools separately and keep them on PATH, or configure their locations in the desktop Advanced Settings.

Known Limitations

  • Exports run sequentially.
  • The desktop chapter editor displays frame timestamps using the probed rate rounded to a whole-number display FPS.
  • Embedded metadata import is intentionally conservative.
  • The CLI normally uses overwrite mode and has no dedicated safe-overwrite flag; use dry-run output inspection and a fresh destination when files already exist.
  • macOS, Linux, self-patching, and automatic update checks are not part of the 1.0.0 support promise.

Deferred Work

Manual and opt-in update checks (VID-10) and broader test-architecture expansion (VID-43) were explicitly canceled as 1.0.0 requirements. They are not hidden release gates. Broader presentation polish for vidchopper.app/docs is also post-1.0 work.

The adjacent .sha256 asset is the authoritative checksum for VidChopper-1.0.0-windows-x64.zip.
