Kody Video v2026.08.10

Kody Video has been a camera — now it's also a photo timeline. You can drop stills right into your filmstrip and treat them like any other clip.

New

Photos on the timeline. Pick an image from your device and it lands on the filmstrip as a still clip that previews, plays, and exports just like a video clip — silent by construction, with no audio decode or sound dial to worry about. Each photo gets a camera badge and a Photo N label so you can tell it apart from video at a glance, and the stage shows the still without a play affordance since there's nothing to scrub. (#154)

A Duration strip instead of Trim for photos. A still has no media length to trim within — its on-screen time is a free choice that can grow as well as shrink. Selecting a photo turns the Trim action into Duration, which opens a strip with a single drag handle over a 0–30s scale, quick presets (1, 2, 3, 5, 10s), and ±0.5s steppers. The readout (N.Ns on screen) is always visible, values snap to tenths, and storage clamps to 0.5–30s while keeping the internal trim window pinned so everything downstream — preview, auto-advance, music ducking, export — keeps working unchanged.

Photos export at full frame rate. On export the WebCodecs engine decodes a still once and emits it on every 30fps output tick, so photos concatenate seamlessly with video segments at hardware speed. The realtime fallback paints the still for its wall-clock duration. (#154)
