• Removed the Export > Video > Resample button. Now, there are simply ignorable inline warnings when making certain changes.
• Added Subtitles > menu > Speech to Text:
  • This uses AI, but we did not make it. It uses a C++ port of OpenAI Whisper called whisper.cpp.
  • Expect there to be occasional errors. Like humans and non-ideal conditions; it is not perfect. We will not take action on bug reports about some piece of audio not converting to the expected text.
  • Our builds include a basic model that has decent speed and accuracy but not a big size. (You can think of the model as the brain.)
  • You can download a bigger and better brain (model) in ggml format and configure it in the Speech to Text dialog, but it will be slower.
  • The dialog creates two jobs that appear in the Jobs panel: one to export audio and another to convert to text.
  • The results are added to the Subtitles panel as a new top-level Subtitle Track.
  • Currently, the only GPU our build supports is Apple Silicon. Otherwise, it is heavily multi-threaded on the CPU.
  • Known quirk: subtitle items sometimes start earlier than expected.
• Transition improvements:
  • Ripple Delete a transition restores the entirety of the clips included in the transition.
  • Lift (non-ripple delete) a transition no longer leaves a gap; the gap is filled with the adjacent clips.
  • Moving an adjacent clip can now adjust the transition duration.
  • Known bug: Using Undo after any of the above disconnects the transition from its adjacent clips and returns future operations around the transition to the old behavior. Will try to fix this for release.
  • The only way to get the old behavior is to first drag the transition to an empty area of another track. Ripple mode should be on if you want ripple delete. Or, simply accept the new behavior and adjust things as needed.
• Added File > Show Project in Folder to menu.
• Changed Recent Projects to Projects: items in this view no longer disappear as Recent reaches its maximum length and old items are removed.
• Added a Remove action to the context menu in Projects.
• Fixed crash opening a project containing a subtitle track with no items.
• Fixed a crash doing when doing more than one Playlist > menu > Add Selected to Slideshow. In theory, this could fix other random crashes in Timeline.
• Fixed odd value for computed width in Reframe output video filter causes export to fail.
• Fixed Reframe visual control can create odd-valued dimensions.
• Fixed making a proxy video for a iPhone 16 Pro video containing spatial audio.
• Fixed AVCHD video frame rate is double (could fix other formats).
• Fixed GPU filters paste below non-GPU filters.
• Fixed Slideshow Generator dialog is too tall with vertical video mode.
• Upgraded FFmpeg to version 7.1.
