# AVE Release Notes

Current release: AVE 1.0.23, published 2026-07-26.

This file keeps current and archived AVE release notes. Do not treat older entries as stale; they are historical release records.

## AVE 1.0.23 (latest)

Published: 2026-07-26
GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases-v2/releases/tag/v1.0.23

AVE 1.0.23 adds reviewable, collection-aware Smart Rename while keeping original files unchanged, with safer media imports and stronger packaged-app safeguards.

### Highlights

- Added Smart Rename for collection-aware AVE display names based on the project and available local analysis.
- Made every proposal reviewable and editable before applying, with exclusions and one-step undo.
- Added Smart Rename to Assets, Ask, Plan, and connected MCP assistants while leaving original and AVE-managed media files unchanged.
- Kept accepted names through save, reopen, and relink, including linked timeline clips.
- Strengthened packaged-app defaults, release audits, and debugging protections.

### Fixes

- Fixed false-positive source-media-changed errors during import by verifying copied media content instead of fragile source metadata.
- Improved long filenames and analysis descriptions so they remain inside the Visual Analysis panel.
- Hardened Smart Rename history reconciliation across undo, rollback, pending saves, and relinked media.

## AVE 1.0.22 (archived)

Published: 2026-07-25
GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases-v2/releases/tag/v1.0.22

AVE 1.0.22 makes buying and activating AVE Pro easier to find, while keeping Free-limit reminders useful and unobtrusive.

### Highlights

- Added Buy AVE Pro and Have a license? Activate actions to the app footer for Free users.
- Made activation shortcuts open Account, scroll to the activation section, and focus the license-key field.
- Added a subtle, dismissible Home reminder when a Free limit is reached; it returns on the next app launch.
- Made the AVE Pro card easier to notice without overpowering Settings.
- Replaced payment-provider terminology with clear AVE purchase and license wording throughout the app.

### Fixes

- Activation shortcuts now select the license-key field immediately so users can paste without another click.
- Free-limit reminder dismissal now lasts for the current app session and resets on relaunch.
- License and purchase guidance is now consistently branded as AVE.

## AVE 1.0.21 (archived)

Published: 2026-07-23
GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases-v2/releases/tag/v1.0.21

AVE 1.0.21 makes AI-authored lower thirds more reliable across Ask, Plan, and MCP with template-aware text fields, safer duration handling, and better intent routing.

### Highlights

- Required the correct text fields for each lower-third template before Ask, Plan, or MCP can apply the graphic.
- Kept phrases such as Web version or TikTok version inside lower-third copy instead of mistaking them for requests to create new output sequences.
- Applied a safe five-second fallback when an AI plan supplies an invalid lower-third duration.
- Clarified template field, placement, and styling contracts so native template design remains the default unless an intentional override is requested.
- Extended the 50% lifetime launch offer through August 15, 2026.

### Fixes

- Rejected incomplete lower-third actions consistently across Ask, Plan, and MCP.
- Prevented assigned platform wording in graphic copy from triggering campaign or new-sequence behavior.
- Kept text-fit bounds aligned when an AI plan intentionally overrides a lower-third font size.

### Notes

This is a full AVE package using the existing signed Sparkle updater path. The Local AI runtime, starter models, and pinned updater helper are unchanged; packaging and render-worker transitive dependencies received patch-only refreshes.

## AVE 1.0.20 (archived)

Published: 2026-07-17
GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases-v2/releases/tag/v1.0.20

AVE 1.0.20 adds direct canvas graphic resizing, smart timeline snapping, shared color tools, faster update controls, and safer interrupted-import recovery.

### Highlights

- Added direct canvas handles for resizing selected graphics, including centered resizing and safe-area snapping.
- Added timeline snapping for clip moves and trims with Option as a temporary live bypass during the gesture.
- Unified graphics, captions, and chroma-key color controls with validated hex entry and screen eyedropper support.
- Let available desktop updates begin downloading directly from the status bar with clearer progress presentation.
- Made interrupted media-import recovery resilient to macOS volume remounts while preserving changed replacement files.

### Fixes

- Kept Option modifier state live throughout an active timeline drag or trim instead of reading it only at gesture start.
- Verified interrupted-import files by normalized SHA-256 identity when macOS reports a different filesystem device after remounting.
- Kept changed replacement files protected when an old import checkpoint cannot be safely reconciled.

## AVE 1.0.19 (archived)

Published: 2026-07-17
GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases-v2/releases/tag/v1.0.19

AVE 1.0.19 fixes a media-import deadlock, makes missing exports removable, and keeps library search compact until it is needed.

### Highlights

- Fixed manual media imports that could remain active indefinitely and prevent the project from saving.
- Kept reusable analysis lookup inside the active project write transaction so importing previously analyzed footage no longer deadlocks persistence.
- Added an explicit Remove action for missing export-history records while preserving Copy Path for recovery and inspection.
- Made Projects, Exports, and Assets search fields compact until focused or populated.

### Fixes

- Removed the non-reentrant target-project read that could block media import and autosave against the same project path.
- Prevented removed missing-export records from being restored by a stale autosave.
- Normalized missing-state tag spacing and removed the stray status marker.

## AVE 1.0.18 (archived)

Published: 2026-07-16
GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases-v2/releases/tag/v1.0.18

AVE 1.0.18 connects Codex CLI and Claude Code to AVE through a secure local MCP bridge, adds an agentic Home, and brings preview and export color closer together.

### Highlights

- Added one-time local MCP connection setup for Codex CLI and Claude Code, without requiring Terminal for the normal setup path.
- Let connected assistants inspect projects and footage, create projects, import media, plan and apply edits, review rendered frames, and export.
- Added per-assistant planning, approval, and eight-scope access controls while AVE remains the project and execution authority.
- Redesigned Home around a project-aware composer and focused next actions instead of duplicated recent-project panels.
- Added in-app video playback and faster thumbnail previews across project assets and exports.
- Made local assistant and analysis model names easier to understand without hiding their technical and license details.

### Fixes

- Improved native export color correction so brightness, contrast, saturation, temperature, and tint more closely match AVE preview.
- Applied color correction consistently to rendered transition segments instead of reverting to untreated source footage.
- Recovered older generated-media jobs without repeatedly trying to import unfinished results.
- Made macOS Settings actions available from the app menu across editor and non-editor screens.
- Unified primary and secondary modal styling and tightened Settings, Home, and shell navigation spacing.

### Notes

AVE MCP currently connects local Codex CLI and Claude Code installations on the same Mac. Claude Desktop, ChatGPT cloud connections, public MCP hosting, and tunnelling are not supported. The complete download still includes AVE's Local AI runtime and starter models.

## AVE 1.0.17 (archived)

Published: 2026-07-14
GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases-v2/releases/tag/v1.0.17

AVE 1.0.17 makes local AI work out of the box, with a bundled engine, starter vision and caption models, clearer setup, and a safer staged updater for existing installs.

### Highlights

- Bundled the complete Local AI engine so new users no longer need to install a separate Python runtime.
- Included Local Vision Lite and Fast Captions for immediate on-device visual analysis and transcription.
- Rebuilt Assistant and Analysis settings around clear local, cloud, installed-assistant, and API choices.
- Added model inventory, verification, storage cleanup, and safer migration for existing downloaded or linked models.
- Added a signed compatibility bridge that upgrades older AVE installs before downloading the complete package.
- Added explicit download progress, disk-space checks, retry handling, and manual recovery for the larger update.

### Fixes

- Removed the broken runtime-download path that could leave clean Macs without the packages required by local AI.
- Improved visual-analysis model switching, cancellation, timeout handling, and stale-job recovery.
- Removed hardcoded fallback captions that could describe unrelated people, rooms, or tables when a vision model failed.
- Preserved projects, settings, accounts, downloaded models, and linked model folders through the staged update.
- Reduced repeated startup and settings scans while keeping explicit model verification available when needed.

```

### Notes

The larger download is intentional: AVE includes the Local AI engine plus starter vision and caption models. Existing users update through a small compatibility build first, then AVE downloads and installs the complete package while preserving local data.

## AVE 1.0.15 (archived)

Published: 2026-07-10
GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases/releases/tag/v1.0.15

AVE 1.0.15 strengthens project recovery, Plan execution, source intelligence, job cancellation, rendering, and startup polish.

### Highlights

- Added strict project validation, malformed-primary quarantine, newest-valid-backup recovery, serialized writes, and a close/save handshake.
- Bound analysis results to the current project, asset path, and media revision so stale work cannot land in the wrong state.
- Added a prepare, apply, and acknowledge protocol for Plan execution so altered or stale work is rejected before it changes the timeline.
- Added production Source Intelligence that combines transcript, visual, frame, and asset evidence into traceable source ranges.
- Improved lifecycle and cancellation handling across renders, generated media, model downloads, runtime installs, and local sidecars.
- Added an animated 1.5-second AVE launch screen that owns startup state, plus a transparent rounded-corner packaged icon.

### Fixes

- Startup recovery now completes behind the launch screen instead of briefly exposing Project Home or an empty state.
- Evidence-aware cutdowns preserve cited moments and surface explicit choices when evidence cannot fit the requested duration.
- Render output now commits atomically, cancellation cleanup is more reliable, and render-worker FFmpeg children terminate if Electron exits.
- Local model downloads are revision-isolated and checksum-aware, managed runtime activation can recover, and generated files must decode as their declared media type.
- Updater metadata and blockmaps are verified against the final packaged artifacts after notarization and stapling.

## AVE 1.0.14 (archived)

Published: 2026-07-09
GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases/releases/tag/v1.0.14

AVE 1.0.14 lets Ask mode handle more graphics work directly and moves the default local Timeline AI to Qwen3 4B Instruct.

### Highlights

- Let Ask mode apply safe one-step graphics and design edits directly when AVE has enough information.
- Added guided field cards when a graphic command needs text, titles, handles, or template fields before applying.
- Improved AI graphics updates so selected or referenced graphics can be edited without falling into Plan mode.
- Improved generated sequence caption behavior so caption requests use the full caption-generation path.
- Moved the default local Timeline AI model to Qwen3 4B Instruct.
- Added Settings cleanup controls for retired Qwen3.5 2B OptiQ language model files without re-adding the retired model to normal choices.

### Fixes

- Missing graphic fields now use the guided card instead of plain chat clarification or raw JSON.
- AI-supplied graphic args are preserved through validation instead of being recomputed from quoted filenames or plan prose.
- Old Qwen3.5 2B OptiQ language model installs are shown as removable legacy files instead of pretending the new 4B model is installed.
- The packaged app bundle and updater ZIP both include the GitHub updater configuration required for future in-app updates.

```

### Notes

This release makes AVE feel more direct: Ask can add and update simple graphics without detouring through Plan, and local Timeline AI now defaults to a stronger 4B tool-calling model.

## AVE 1.0.13 (archived)

Published: 2026-07-07
GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases/releases/tag/v1.0.13

AVE 1.0.13 adds a dedicated graphics design panel, a browsable layers tree, better component editing, expanded Hug Contents behavior, and in-app release notes.

### Highlights

- Added a dedicated Graphics design panel so graphic editing no longer has to live inside the inspector tab stack.
- Added a browsable graphics and layers tree with component selection, layer selection, rename support, duplicate and delete actions, and cleaner panel typography.
- Improved parent graphic dragging so selected components follow the cursor during movement instead of only updating after mouse release.
- Expanded Hug Contents so components can recalculate height as well as width when text or child layers change.
- Added a What's New button in the app status bar that opens fixed-size, internally scrolling user-facing release notes.
- Updated AVE's release runbook so every public release refreshes the in-app What's New notes before packaging.

### Fixes

- The Graphics panel now opens automatically for selected graphics and gets out of the way when non-graphic timeline items are selected.
- Graphic component names can be edited directly from the design editor.
- Hug Contents now responds to text edits and child-layer visibility changes across supported grouped graphics.
- The packaged app bundle and updater ZIP both include the GitHub updater configuration required for future in-app updates.

### Notes

This release makes graphic editing feel more like a real design surface: select a graphic, edit its component and layers in a dedicated panel, and use Hug Contents to keep grouped graphics sized to their content.

## AVE 1.0.12 (archived)

Published: 2026-07-07
GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases/releases/tag/v1.0.12

AVE 1.0.12 makes transitions exportable and brings graphics, captions, fonts, and export behavior closer to what users see in preview.

### Highlights

- Added exportable transition rendering for AVE transition styles including dissolve, fade, flash, wipe, slide, blur dissolve, zoom blur, luma wipe, and glitch-style cuts.
- Unified transition names and preset access across the toolbar menu, transition panel, and AI-facing transition tools.
- Migrated layered text, shape, and image graphics preview through the shared graphics geometry path so preview behavior is closer to export behavior.
- Bundled render-worker fonts for exported graphics and captions so export no longer depends on system-installed fonts for AVE's offered font set.
- Updated graphics templates with brand-aware fonts, safer geometry, fit-box text behavior, and stronger default title, lower-third, and caption styling.
- Fixed generated caption geometry so caption positions resolve through the same safe-area-aware template geometry used by graphics preview and export.
- Added inspector support for Brand heading and Brand body font selections so brand-token templates no longer show a blank font dropdown.

### Fixes

- Exported transition segments now render through the local render worker instead of falling back to preview-only behavior.
- The export modal stays compact for normal content while long render errors wrap and scroll inside the error area.
- Caption and graphics layout now share safer sizing and padding rules between preview and export.
- The packaged app bundle and updater ZIP both include the GitHub updater configuration required for future in-app updates.

### Notes

This release focuses on render confidence: transitions export, graphics and captions share more of the same layout engine in preview and render, and AVE ships its offered fonts with the app.

## AVE 1.0.11 (archived)

Published: 2026-07-06
GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases/releases/tag/v1.0.11

AVE 1.0.11 adds the new project format, analysis reuse, speech editing, caption-follow behavior, source previews, and speech-aware audio tools.

### Highlights

- Added the new project format path with analysis sidecars, rebuildable project indexes, and downgrade-safe embedded analysis.
- Reuses existing analysis when imported footage matches media already analyzed in another saved project.
- Added speech editing commands for removing silences, cutting long pauses, and removing filler words from spoken timeline clips.
- Kept generated captions linked to source clips through close gaps, trims, and speech-edit recuts.
- Added source-result previews so suggested footage can be inspected before adding it to the timeline.
- Added speech-aware music ducking from AI actions and the toolbar audio actions menu.
- Added a toolbar audio menu for ducking, normalizing, voice cleanup, background-bed levels, smooth fades, and clearing volume automation.

### Fixes

- Speech editing routes now run before generic trim and sequence routes, so pause and filler-word commands do not get stolen by unrelated planner paths.
- Close gaps now uses video clips as the timing anchor and moves attached captions and graphics with their owning clips.
- Caption-follow logic keeps karaoke word timing arrays aligned when clips are moved, trimmed, or recut.
- Sidecar and index write failures warn without blocking saves, and corrupt sidecars do not block project open.
- Speech-aware ducking avoids voice/interview tracks and protects audio-only speech clips unless a transcript-backed video speech source exists.
- The packaged app bundle and updater ZIP both include the GitHub updater configuration required for future in-app updates.

### Notes

This release makes AVE better at preserving real editing context: projects save more safely, analyzed footage can be reused, captions follow clips, and audio work can happen from the toolbar or AI actions.

## AVE 1.0.10 (archived)

Published: 2026-07-04
GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases/releases/tag/v1.0.10

AVE 1.0.10 improves footage-result cards, best-moment search, karaoke captions, camera presets, onboarding persistence, and caption regeneration.

### Highlights

- Added source-result contracts so footage search results can stay as usable clip cards with thumbnails and action buttons.
- Improved "find moments" behavior so transcript, visual, and best-moment searches route toward a single footage-result UI.
- Added evidence-first best-moment ranking that keeps weak matches honest and favors concrete analyzed assets.
- Added karaoke caption generation and a toolbar caption-style menu for choosing Standard or Karaoke before adding captions.
- Added a camera preset toolbar control for faster visible framing changes.
- Fixed onboarding persistence so completed setup does not reappear on every restart.
- Improved Project Home asset reuse messaging when an asset cannot be added to another project.

### Fixes

- Re-running generated captions now removes previous AVE-generated caption clips before adding the new set.
- Karaoke captions keep already-spoken words highlighted as the active word advances.
- Footage-result follow-ups can explain why selected clips were chosen without replacing cards with vague prose.
- Project Home explains unavailable asset reuse actions such as missing media, unsaved destination projects, or assets already present in all saved projects.
- The packaged app bundle and updater ZIP both include the GitHub updater configuration required for future in-app updates.

## AVE 1.0.9 (archived)

Published: 2026-07-02
GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases/releases/tag/v1.0.9

AVE 1.0.9 adds workflow manifests, stronger plan approval boundaries, clearer source selection, and more reliable Smart and Plan routing for timeline edits.

### Highlights

- Added workflow manifests so AVE can treat common edit requests as explicit task contracts instead of loose assistant prose.
- Added approval boundaries, sequence snapshots, and approval metadata for manifest-driven edit plans.
- Improved source selection with reusable result sets, source range references, and clip insertion contracts.
- Refined Smart mode so low-risk direct commands can use validated tools while broader timeline changes move into plan preview.
- Improved chat cards for source matches, selected clips, workflow stages, and executed timeline actions.
- Added tactile hover and pressed states across navigation, buttons, and links.
- Refreshed the website demo bundle so the public AVE demo keeps current video preview and filmstrip behavior.

### Fixes

- Source-search prompts now show matching assets instead of pushing broad search requests into plan preview.
- Direct clip placement now asks for clarification when the requested source is too broad instead of inserting every matching asset.
- Approved plans are guarded against stale sequence state before applying timeline changes.
- Ask mode remains conversational unless the prompt clearly maps to a supported low-risk action.
- Marketing demo preview and filmstrip behavior were repaired for the website bundle.

## AVE 1.0.8 (archived)

Published: 2026-06-28
GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases/releases/tag/v1.0.8

AVE 1.0.8 refines Project Home, adds project setup before creation, improves Free limit handling, and reduces unnecessary video loading in library views.

### Highlights

- Refined Project Home with a cleaner shell, narrower Recent Exports sidebar, calmer navigation states, and sticky glass headers across library pages.
- Added a New Project setup dialog so projects are named before creation and the first sequence can be configured up front.
- Improved Free limit handling for saved projects, saved sequences, and asset analysis so upgrade paths are clearer.
- Stopped queued asset analysis when the Free analysis cap is reached, with an in-app banner explaining the limit.
- Deferred video previews until user intent in Project Home and export surfaces.
- Removed redundant library actions and folder-path metadata already covered by Reveal.

## AVE 1.0.7 (archived)

Published: 2026-06-27
GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases/releases/tag/v1.0.7

AVE 1.0.7 adds the new Project Home shell, a full-screen setup flow, local export tracking, and a Tools overlay that keeps the editor workspace stable.

### Highlights

- Added Project Home with Home, Projects, Exports, Assets, Settings, recent project access, and local export tracking.
- Redesigned onboarding as a full-screen setup flow for the default projects root, local AI, assistant source, API assistant fallback, and setup completion.
- Refined Project Home empty states, sidebar behavior, sticky glass headers, project and export layout, and keyboard shortcuts.
- Moved Tools into a right-side overlay so it no longer resizes the editor workspace.
- Removed confusing open-existing-project entry points from the new Project Home surfaces.

### Fixes

- Project Home no longer exposes duplicate open-existing-project paths where they created ambiguity.
- The Tools panel no longer changes the editor workspace width when opened.
- Project and export surfaces now have clearer empty states and layout behavior.
- Onboarding now walks through setup completion instead of dropping users into disconnected setup screens.

## AVE 1.0.6 (archived)

Published: 2026-06-25
GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases/releases/tag/v1.0.6

AVE 1.0.6 adds project-aware planning upgrades, BYO planning providers, Free and Pro hardening, asset preview UX, Iconoir icons, and quieter asset-panel polish.

### Highlights

- Ask and Plan now use stronger project-aware context from analyzed footage, exact asset IDs, transcripts, clips, and the current timeline before drafting edits.
- Bring-your-own planning providers now support OpenAI, Anthropic, and OpenAI-compatible endpoints with model discovery, reasoning controls where supported, safer errors, and clearer settings.
- AVE Free and AVE Pro boundaries are clearer across local project limits, sequence creation, asset analysis, Plan previews, Plan execution, edit review, Project Agent, and the Global Asset Library.
- The Pro upgrade path now has clearer Free limit messaging, comparison copy, launch-discount pricing copy, and upgrade modals when gated actions are reached.
- Video assets can open in a larger preview modal, audio assets can preview without being placed on the timeline, and asset context menus expose preview and open-analysis actions.
- Lucide icons were replaced with Iconoir through a local AVE icon wrapper so the app has a more consistent visual language.
- The asset panel now has fixed-width sidebar behavior, subtler selected states, improved folder creation controls, calmer action buttons, cleaner status badges, better Global Asset Library upsell copy, and clearer right-panel tab selection.

### Fixes

- Free users now see upgrade messaging instead of silent no-ops when a gated Plan execution, sequence creation, analysis, edit review, Project Agent, or Global Asset Library path is reached.
- Planning provider failures now preserve useful attempt details without exposing secrets.
- Settings now opens on Account by default so plan and license state are visible first.
- Removed non-user-facing license source labels from the Account page.
- Removed stray hover delete controls, heavy selected borders, and stroked status badges from asset cards.
- Bumped the macOS build number to 7.

## AVE 1.0.5 (archived)

Published: 2026-06-24
GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases/releases/tag/v1.0.5

AVE 1.0.5 improves how AVE turns rough creative briefs into real timeline edits: better planning, cleaner Ask and Plan handoffs, stronger graphic controls, and clearer assistant setup.

### Highlights

- Added a structured read, evaluate, and refine loop for edit planning.
- Improved support for long, messy briefs, campaign-style requests, and multi-sequence deliverables.
- The planner can turn richer creative plans into executable timeline actions instead of stopping at narrative-only output.
- AI can now adjust typography, color, fills, shadows, strokes, placement, and graphic layer targeting through native tools.
- Improved support for title cards, lower thirds, CTA cards, end cards, and existing graphic layer edits.
- Ask mode now makes explicit routing decisions instead of guessing from assistant wording.
- Plan preview cards are only shown when the runtime explicitly decides a plan handoff is needed.
- Assistant setup now focuses on Claude CLI, Codex CLI, Qwen CLI, local models, and BYO API.

### Fixes

- Reduced misleading Switch to Plan mode prompts during ordinary clarification.
- Improved Ask-to-Plan handoff so Plan mode receives the actual user intent instead of stale or incomplete prompts.
- Improved plan-action validation and local tool routing around agentic edits.
- Added edit read loop implementation and tests.
- Expanded planner, local AI tool, graphic styling, and tool-executor test coverage.
- Bumped the macOS build number to 6.

GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases/releases/tag/v1.0.4

AVE 1.0.4 adds WebM export for video renders and fixes chat-driven audio duration edits so they route to the correct timeline operation.

### Highlights

- Added WebM export for video renders.
- WebM renders use VP9 video with Opus stereo audio for web delivery and lightweight sharing.
- The export modal, renderer format metadata, and render worker now support .webm outputs end to end.

## AVE 1.0.2 (archived)

Published: 2026-06-22
GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases/releases/tag/v1.0.2

## AVE 1.0.0 (archived)

Published: 2026-06-20
GitHub release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases/releases/tag/v1.0.0

AVE 1.0.0 was the first public macOS release candidate for AVE, a local-first AI video editor for reviewable edit plans and validated timeline actions.

### Highlights

- Turn a rough brief into a reviewable edit plan before timeline changes are applied.
- Create one edit or multiple deliverables from the same footage pool, including 16:9, 4:5, 1:1, 9:16, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Shorts, YouTube, web, and custom formats.
- Use Ask for creative direction, captions, structure, and project questions. Use Plan for approval-gated timeline operations.
- Choose local models, installed CLI assistants, or OpenAI-compatible API providers, then switch provider, model, and reasoning level from Settings or the bottom status bar.
- Use supported installed assistants for planning and edit suggestions.
- Keep imported media, local analysis, timeline execution, project files, and exports on your Mac unless you explicitly connect an external assistant or API.
- Ground edit plans in imported assets, transcripts, visual notes, clip metadata, and timeline context.
- Execute approved work through controlled editing tools for sequence creation, clip extraction, format adaptation, transitions, styling, captions, gap closing, and render/export operations.
- Download a signed, notarized, stapled Mac build through GitHub Releases with updater metadata.
