fastCutVid 0.1.1

Open a project or import videos directly from the command line. This release keeps the existing cutting workflow and fastcut.timeline/v1 format unchanged.

What's new

  • Launch with one timeline JSON, one or more videos, or a project plus additional videos.
  • A project opens first, then videos import into its media bin in the background; they are not automatically appended to the sequence.
  • Relative launch paths resolve from the working directory. Media references inside JSON still resolve from the project directory.
  • Missing files, unsupported extensions, and multiple projects are rejected. If project loading fails, the app shows the error and skips the additional imports.
  • GUI file arguments cannot be combined with --validate or --render; --output now requires --render.
  • Updated operator/agent instructions, argument regression tests, product-neutral README copy, and release workflow checks.
fast-cutvid "edit.fastcut.json"
fast-cutvid "first clip.mp4" "second.mov"
fast-cutvid "edit.fastcut.json" "extra footage.mp4"

On macOS, use /Applications/fastCutVid.app/Contents/MacOS/fast-cutvid as the executable. On Windows use fast-cutvid.exe; on Linux use ./fast-cutvid from the extracted directory. Quote paths with spaces and use -- before filenames beginning with -. These are process launch arguments, not Finder file associations or commands sent to an already-running window.

Downloads

Choose a platform archive under Assets, not GitHub's source archives:

  • Apple silicon, macOS 12+: fastcutvid-v0.1.1-macos-arm64.tar.gz
  • Intel Mac, macOS 12+: fastcutvid-v0.1.1-macos-x86_64.tar.gz
  • Windows x86-64: fastcutvid-v0.1.1-windows-x86_64.zip
  • Linux x86-64, Ubuntu 22.04+ or compatible: fastcutvid-v0.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

Each archive has a SHA-256 checksum file. Extract the package; move the macOS app to Applications or run the Windows/Linux executable. FFmpeg and FFprobe must be installed separately and available on PATH, or configured with FASTCUT_FFMPEG and FASTCUT_FFPROBE.

Known limitations

  • macOS has synchronized native video/audio preview. Windows/Linux interactive preview remains silent; MP4 exports include audio.
  • macOS packages are ad-hoc signed, not Apple-notarized; Windows packages are unsigned.
  • No undo/redo, autosave, or automatic media relinking. Save before closing or replacing a project. JSON references media without embedding it.
  • Export can overwrite its destination. Never use a source-media path as output.
  • This is a focused single-sequence cutter, not a finishing suite.
