GhostReel v0.13.2

Windows: GhostReel_*-setup.exe · Linux: .AppImage · macOS: .dmg (Apple Silicon / Intel). CLI bundles: available in the build artifacts.

Linux/Windows offer CUDA (NVIDIA driver 570+, CUDA runtime bundled) and Vulkan (AMD, Intel or NVIDIA with a Vulkan 1.2-capable driver). Vulkan downloads have _vulkan in their filenames. Apple Silicon uses MLX for vision/chat and Metal Whisper (macOS 14+); Intel uses llama.cpp/Whisper (macOS 12+). On first start open Models and download the models.

macOS builds use a self-signed certificate. Drag GhostReel to Applications; on first launch approve it in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.

Improved

• Indexing talks to one persistent Whisper worker instead of starting ghostreel-asr for
  every video, so the model loads once per run rather than on each clip. When transcription
  fails, the worker is released and the schedule falls back to the isolated helper it used
  before, without leaking GPU memory.
• Off-mic level measurement reads the audio the transcription decode already produced
  (mono tracks), instead of seeking the source with a separate ffmpeg per transcript line.
  On a 96-video project that stage went from 17 s to 0.6 s with identical off-mic flags.
• Speech levels now measure each stereo channel's energy before mixing, so
  opposite-phase channels can no longer cancel into a false "off-mic" reading.
