fastCutVid 0.1.2
This update fixes the timeline-click crash and makes cut exports easier to find beside your project or source video. The fastcut.timeline/v1 format is unchanged.
Fixed
- Clicking or dragging the timeline no longer assigns focus to a nonexistent accessibility node. This fixes the
Focused ID ... is not in the node listcrash with accessibility active, including the reproduced macOS case. - Timeline activity is tracked separately from keyboard focus. Pinch-to-zoom still works while the pointer is over the timeline or the timeline remains active after a click. Clicking elsewhere or leaving the app clears that activity. Accessibility remains enabled.
Improved cut exports
- Export cuts defaults to the original project's folder and name with
-cutted.fastcut.json, for exampleInterview.fastcut.json→Interview-cutted.fastcut.json. - Without a saved project, it uses the first timeline clip's source video, or the first media asset if the timeline is empty:
Interview.mov→Interview-cutted.fastcut.jsonbeside the video. - You can still choose a different name or folder. Exporting writes a copy and preserves the active project path and unsaved-edit state. Save and Save As are unchanged.
- Added regression coverage for accessibility focus, timeline zoom, and export paths. The README now links to fastcutvid.com.
Downloads and installation
Choose a platform archive under Assets, not GitHub's source archives:
- Apple silicon, macOS 12+:
fastcutvid-v0.1.2-macos-arm64.tar.gz - Intel Mac, macOS 12+:
fastcutvid-v0.1.2-macos-x86_64.tar.gz - Windows x86-64:
fastcutvid-v0.1.2-windows-x86_64.zip - Linux x86-64, Ubuntu 22.04+ or compatible:
fastcutvid-v0.1.2-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
Each archive has a SHA-256 checksum file and includes the changelog, operator/agent guides, and timeline skill. Save any open work and quit the old app before replacing it. Extract the package, move the macOS app to Applications, or run the Windows/Linux executable. Existing project JSON files remain compatible.
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.
