Trimlet v0.3.0 Early Access 1

This source-only prerelease adds the first usable native Windows implementation while keeping the existing macOS PoC and shared contracts in one repository.

Windows Early Access

  • Native C#/WinUI 3 application for Windows 10 build 17763 and later
  • Open dialog, drag and drop, direct preview, seek, playback, and keyboard navigation
  • One- and ten-frame movement plus five-second jumps
  • IN/OUT selection, range preview, and selected-duration display
  • ffprobe inspection, keyframe candidate analysis, and audio-stream selection
  • Fast stream-copy and Accurate H.264/AAC export plans
  • Encoder usability probing, progress, cancellation, redacted diagnostics, temporary-output validation, and safe finalization
  • English and Japanese resources
  • Unit, shared-contract, and generated-media integration checks

Interface and documentation

  • Reduced permanent explanatory copy in the Windows work surface
  • Added shared product/interface principles in docs/PRODUCT_DESIGN.md
  • Added Windows human-check and maintainer documentation
  • Added a Windows-to-macOS owner handover with parity gaps and review candidates

What Early Access means

The core open → select IN/OUT → export workflow is available and suitable for evaluation. This is not a supported binary distribution or a claim of complete macOS parity.

Known gaps:

  • no automatic Windows preview proxy when native playback cannot decode the source;
  • nominal-frame-rate rather than source-PTS frame movement for variable-frame-rate media;
  • no installer, MSIX, code signature, or prebuilt executable;
  • M2TS/MTS preview depends on codecs installed in Windows;
  • broader real-machine and large-media coverage remains pending.

Build and run

Install .NET SDK 10.0.400 plus separate ffmpeg and ffprobe, then run from PowerShell:

.\apps\windows\run-human-check.ps1

The repository and release do not contain FFmpeg, ffprobe, test videos, generated application bundles, or developer-machine caches.
