v1.0.0

The first release of Katana: a fast, minimalist, multitrack video editor. Free and open source (MIT).

Highlights

  • Multitrack compositing on a real viewport canvas: place, scale and snap clips (picture in picture, split screen, overlays).
  • Separate audio tracks: detach audio, import music, mix and fade, with waveforms and audio scrubbing.
  • Lossless export: copies the stream when nothing needs encoding again, otherwise a full compositing render. Formats: MP4 (H.264 / H.265), WebM (VP9), MOV, GIF.
  • Snappy UI: GPU accelerated dragging, frame accurate playback (requestVideoFrameCallback), instant scrubbing, look ahead decoding.
  • Workflow: undo/redo, command palette (Ctrl+K), project save/load (.katana), resizable and collapsible panels.
  • Tiny native app: built on Tauri with FFmpeg bundled. No external dependencies to install.

Install (Windows)

  • Katana_1.0.0_x64-setup.exe (NSIS installer, recommended)
  • Katana_1.0.0_x64_en-US.msi (MSI)

FFmpeg is bundled under the GPL; Katana itself is MIT licensed (see NOTICE.md). macOS and Linux builds are planned.
