ronak-create/FableCut v1.16.0

on GitHub

Added

• Projects. One FableCut keeps many projects; ./project.json stays the
  open one, so tools and scripts are unchanged. The Projects dashboard
  (top bar) lists them with a picture, size, frame rate and length, and
  opens, creates (from Landscape, Vertical, Square, Portrait, 4K and 720p
  canvases or a saved project template), duplicates, renames, tags, takes
  notes on, archives and deletes them, and imports a project file from
  elsewhere. Media, exports and the library are shared. Agents use the new
  fablecut_projects tool; REST GET / POST /api/projects.
• Versions. Saved copies of a project, never overwritten: Ctrl/Cmd+S
  or Save version with a name and note, automatically every 10 minutes
  while the project changes, and before an agent's first edit or a whole-project
  rewrite. Compare a version with now (clips added / removed / changed, length,
  media, settings), restore one (what was there is saved as a version first),
  mark the final cut. Download backup carries every version and imports
  back; an unreadable project.json at startup is kept aside and the newest
  good copy restored. Agents use the new fablecut_versions tool; REST
  /api/versions.
• Sequences. Several timelines in one project — a 16:9 and a 9:16 cut,
  cut-downs, alternatives — sharing its media and compositions, each with its
  own canvas, frame rate, IN / OUT, markers, mix and delivery settings. The
  menu at the left of the timeline toolbar opens, adds (empty or as a copy, at
  any canvas), duplicates, renames and deletes them; each keeps its own undo
  history for the session. Media and comps used in any sequence are counted and
  protected. Agents use the new patch ops addSequence, inSequence (edit a
  sequence without opening it), openSequence, updateSequence and
  removeSequence.
• NVIDIA GPU export profiles nvenc-h264 and nvenc-hevc. They need an
  NVIDIA card and an ffmpeg built with NVENC. (thanks @delirious6423, #118)

Changed

• Export decodes video with WebCodecs instead of seeking <video>: about
  5× faster (95.7 s → 18.8 s on a 28 s 720p project) and frame-exact. Files it
  can't decode, and background-removal clips, keep the <video> path.
  (thanks @delirious6423, #118)

Fixed

• Ctrl/Cmd+S no longer also splits at the playhead and opens the browser's
  Save dialog (it saves a version now).
• A relinked or replaced file mixes its new audio in preview and export
  (decoded audio was kept per media entry, not per file).
• Hardware-encoder profiles pass the export dry run. It probed a 64×64
  frame, which NVENC refuses; it now uses 256×144 and reports ffmpeg's reason.

Thanks to @delirious6423 for the faster, frame-exact export: WebCodecs decoding, the NVIDIA profiles and the dry-run fix (#118).
