Animate a still image and render it as video.

  • Timeline — load an image, toggle Timeline in the toolbar, and keyframe the entire effect chain over time. Scrub the playhead, dial in a look, press Keyframe; move the playhead, dial in another look, keyframe again. Everything keys together as one master keyframe, so parameters you don't touch between keys hold still on their own.
  • Editing is live — click a keyframe and change any VHS or shader parameter, and that keyframe updates in place, the way After Effects and Premiere behave.
  • Interpolation per keyframe — linear, ease in, ease out, ease in-out, or hold, from the dropdown under each keyframe. Drag a diamond to retime it; keyframe times are proportional, so changing the duration stretches the whole animation.
  • Video from any still, even with no keyframes — tape noise, jitter, head switching and interlacing animate on their own. Set length and frame rate (12/24/30/60 fps) in the timeline; export uses them.

Fixes and changes

  • The compare divider no longer disappears when dragged to either edge.
  • Tooltips display properly on the floating view controls, and appear sooner (macOS's ~2s default was long enough that they read as missing).
  • Lighter house defaults: the lowpass filter starts on Butterworth (sharper), and horizontal/vertical scale start at 0.3, so the out-of-the-box look is less aggressive. Saved presets keep their own values.

Universal binary (Apple Silicon + Intel), signed and notarized. The Intel half remains community-tested — see the README.
