GhostReel v0.9.0

Windows: GhostReel_*_x64-setup.exe · Linux: .AppImage · macOS: .dmg (Apple Silicon / Intel). CLI bundles: available in the build artifacts.

Linux/Windows GPU acceleration needs an NVIDIA driver 570+ (CUDA 12.8 runtime is bundled). 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.

Added

• Global material search in a separate window, with project links and in-app clip previews.
• Automatic video categories, manual overrides, category filtering, and a reviewed on-disk
  organization plan that moves companion sidecars with footage.

Fixed

• Search thumbnails, keyframe strips, and script images use the local HTTP media server to
  avoid WebKit blocking asset URLs. Search falls back to the nearest available keyframe.
• Playback copies show real encoding progress, share concurrent requests safely, and reject
  cached copies whose media data fails decoding. Proxy cache keys include the configured
  vision-sampling resolution; playback copies preserve aspect ratio and use that longest edge.
• Organization refuses destination overwrites and category paths outside watched folders,
  rolls back video moves after database errors, and keeps long filesystem work off the UI thread.
• Cross-project preview navigation waits for project data, older search responses cannot replace
  newer results, and automatic category ties are deterministic.
