3.5.0 changelog
-
redesigned timeline & slider with timecode labels at fixed intervals as per
regular video editors -
thumbnail previews on timeline; the entire timeline background is overlayed
with thumbnail previews which looks good + helps you target where you want
to mark a start/stop point. thumbnil generation is threaded so will not
slow the app down or hinder your use of it. thumbnails will regenerate on
app resize -
thumbnail previews and on screen display toggle buttons added to far left of
main toolbar; what they do is self-explanatory -
slider movement/sync with mpv backend improved; should be less jumpy on
problematic videos with bad indexes -
configurable seeking time lengths; this is for the up+down and shift up+down
keys which were set to 2 secs and 5 secs forwards and backwards. you can
now set the number of secs as preferred via new spinboxes added to the
settings menu labelled Seek #1 and Seek #2 -
additional on screen display text added to various functions
-
fixed bug when clearing clip index and you could not continue navigating video
requiring you to reload -
continue button added to the job completion dialog and set as the default
button selection -
libmpv bindings library updated with the latest changed from upstream;
should not be noticeable to users albeit improved playback or slider position
sync -
VidCutter project files (.vcp) can now be preloaded like regular videos either
by passing file path on command line or drag 'n dropping project onto a
VidCutter application/shortcut icon -
new icon, let me know if you find the old icon still being used someplace
-
some other minor bug fixes from user issues that I am sure I have forgotten
to list
For non-windows, use your o/s package manager if on Linux and homebrew for Mac OS X to manage FFmpeg. It is most likely already installed on your Linux or macOS machine.
Windows + macOS Users
Installers for Windows and macOS (64bit only) are available below.
Linux Users
Only install via PyPi if you are using something other than ArchLinux or an Ubuntu/Debian derivative (Ubuntu, Mint, Elementary, Debian Jessie etc...)
ArchLinux users can install directly from AUR, package is available in both stable and git-latest versions:
AUR: vidcutter (stable), vidcutter-git (unstable)
Ubuntu/Mint/Debian/Elementary users can install via Launchpad PPA.
ppa:ozmartian/apps
If you are new to PPAs then just issue the following commands in a terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ozmartian/apps
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vidcutter
You should now be able to search for vidcutter in your chosen package management software (synaptic, Ubuntu software centre, apt-get etc.)
All other Linux users including Debian users on Debian 8 Jessie or below can install from PyPi can use the AppImage bundled binary package available for download. I've produced a 64bit version but will make 32bit available if requested. For those new to the AppImage concept, just download the file and then make it executable once downloaded. You can then run it, and optionally install it as part of your desktop app menus etc.
chmod +x VidCutter-3.5.0-linux-x64.AppImage
For those running off the source code, please note that a minimum of Qt 5.5 and PyQt 5.5 is recommended to run the app as it is intended.
