Release list
0.3.1
Getting it going
| System | Download | Then |
|---|---|---|
| Linux (x64) | vidctrl-0.3.1-linux-x64.tar.gz |
Unpack it and run vidctrl in the folder |
| Windows (x64) | vidctrl-0.3.1-windows-x64.zip |
Unpack it and run vidctrl.exe |
| macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) | vidctrl-0.3.1-macos.dmg |
Open it and drag VidCtrl to Applications |
FFmpeg is included, so nothing else needs installing. It is FFmpeg 8.1,
unmodified builds under the GNU GPL version 3; assets/licenses/ffmpeg.txt says whose builds
they are and where their source code is.
The Windows app is not signed, so Windows asks before running it for the
first time: "Windows protected your PC" → More info → Run anyway.
The macOS app is not notarized by Apple yet, so macOS refuses to open
it. After dragging it to Applications, open Terminal and run this once; then
VidCtrl opens like any other app:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/VidCtrl.appSo far only the Linux build has been tried on a real machine; the Windows and
macOS builds come straight from the build servers. On Windows, stopping a
conversion part-way has failed in tests, and pausing and keeping the computer
awake are not there yet.
Changes
- Show the version in the About menu, with a check for a newer release

- Say "only the sound" under Resolve Studio, not "no re-encoding"
- Show camera files with upper-case names in the file dialog on Linux
- Fix silent sound and an early picture in "Edit in DaVinci Resolve"
- Rename the app to VidCtrl

0.1.0

FFmpeg is not included. Install FFmpeg 8 or newer, so that ffmpeg and
ffprobe are found on the PATH. Linux distribution packages and Homebrew
have everything the app uses. On Windows take a "full" build: the smaller
"essentials" builds have no AV1 encoder, and "Smallest file" fails with them.
The app is not signed, so Windows and macOS ask before running it for the
first time:
- Windows: "Windows protected your PC" → More info → Run anyway.
- macOS: after it refuses, System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open
Anyway. On older versions, right-click the app and choose Open.
So far only the Linux build has been tried on a real machine; the Windows and
macOS builds come straight from the build servers. On Windows, stopping a
conversion part-way has failed in tests, and pausing and keeping the computer
awake are not there yet.

- Show expected size, give videos their own goals, remember choices
- Add four goals: phone, sound, personal details, file type
- Add batch video converter: engine, two goals, and the main screen
