Changelog

What's shipped, in reverse chronological order.

v1.3.02026-08-11
- →Bulk editing: apply one edit spec — or any single-clip tool — across an entire upload batch in one instruction.
- →Local Whisper.cpp transcription when there's no BYOK key, so captions and transcripts work out of the box.
- →Honest generation metering — platform-hosted keys are now priced to actually cover cost.
- →Eleven Music replaces the old Suno/Udio/sine-wave placeholders for real backing tracks.
- →Landing page copy pass: tighter hero, one consistent CTA everywhere, fewer section labels.
v1.2.02026-08-01
- →7-day trial with card up front, plus an admin view of trial → paid conversion.
- →Lifecycle emails: agent replies, payment events, lapsed subscriptions.
- →Content-aware asset naming, live processing status, and per-key quota visibility.
- →SQLite concurrency fixes so parallel builds and requests stop colliding on the DB lock.
v1.1.02026-07-28
- →Reference-video recreation: the agent measures a reference's real pacing and shot structure instead of guessing.
- →Composition QA: the agent scores its own defects and whether the plan actually answers the brief — not just eyeballing it.
- →Sound design, dubbing, and restoration tools; a scored hook-strength check for openers.
- →Upload-time footage analysis so your own owned clips are searchable and get reused before reaching for stock.
- →Shutter-style motion blur and true 60fps final renders.
v1.0.02026-07-21
- →Captions rebuilt on HTML overlays with a real preset system — replaced the old libass burn-in pipeline entirely.
- →Encoder quality pass: faststart, bt709 color, lanczos scaling, chroma despill.
- →Scroll-journey reveal animations on the landing page.
- →Storage and credit meters in the sidebar, same visual language for both.
v0.9.02026-07-17
- →Effects Store: searchable overlay/SFX library grown from 13 to 119 effects, with hover-to-play previews.
- →17 native code-driven motion blocks (zoom-punch, RGB-split, text-glow, light-sweep, typewriter, counter, lower-third, and more) added straight to the agent's registry.
- →Scene-scoped and scene-parallel editing — change one scene, or build several at once, without re-touching the whole file.
- →Non-blocking chat queue — queue up instructions without waiting for the current one to finish.
v0.8.02026-07-14
- →Import & recreate: pull in an external video and have the agent rebuild it as an original composition.
- →Browser extension: one-click connect, in-page YouTube capture with markers/preview, client-side clip recording.
- →Admin dashboard: per-tab guidance and real usage/growth charts.
- →User + admin storage management — view, delete, opt-in purge.
v0.7.12026-05-22
- →Full rebuild on a Turbo + Bun monorepo (apps/web + packages/*) — the "Claude Code for video" architecture: agent loop, Hyperframes render pipeline, admin dashboard, BYOK provider keys.
- →Billing moved to Polar.sh; production auth hardened.
- →Client-side WebCodecs renderer with server-side fallback.
- →Brand kit, stock SFX/B-roll library, marketplace groundwork, and the first version of the public showcase.
v0.7.02026-05-17
- →Local render worker: standalone binary (Mac arm64 / Mac x64 / Linux x64 / Windows x64) polls our queue and renders on your hardware — 2–5× faster than cloud.
- →Launch demo: real `public/demo.mp4` rendered from the comic-facts template — landing page autoplays it instead of the placeholder.
- →Welcome email fires once when onboarding completes; trial-ending email cron runs daily and sends T-3 / T-1 / T-0 reminders (idempotent via usage log).
- →`bun run preflight` — single-command launch readiness check covering env, DB tables, CLI, templates, lint, storage, and marketing assets.
v0.6.02026-05-17
- →Brand kit: upload logo, watermark, channel name, primary + accent colors. Agent auto-applies via `get_brand_kit`.
- →Stock library: SFX, B-roll, character archetypes searchable via `find_stock`.
- →Legal pages, account deletion, status page, help docs, in-app changelog.
- →`diff_file` tool — surgical edits with up to 70% token savings on follow-ups.
v0.5.02026-05-16
- →`screenshot_at_time` tool — agent renders pixels and visually critiques its own output.
- →`plan_composition` tool — agent plans first, asks before any code is written.
- →Onboarding survey + guided 3-step editor tour.
- →Render presets: Draft, YouTube 1080p, Shorts 30fps, High 60fps.
- →Stripe billing scaffolding + $1 trial flow + usage meter.
v0.4.02026-05-15
- →Project list polish: rename, duplicate, delete, search.
- →Templates gallery with 8 IP-free starter templates (Comic, Anime, Sci-fi, History, Finance, Sleep, Scary, Tech).
- →Editor UX: preview state indicator, keyboard shortcuts (⌘R, ⌘P, ⌘/), variable controls, asset thumbnails.
- →`/app/renders` global render history page.
v0.3.02026-05-14
- →VibeEdit Video brand applied; marketing landing at `/`, app at `/app/*`.
- →Agent system prompt v2 — terser persona, curated palette, niche profiles.
- →Sample prompt cards on empty editor.
- →Inline `write_file` diff bubbles in chat.
- →Claude Agent SDK integration (no API key required — uses your Claude Code OAuth).
