What’s included

  • Dependency check: validates ffmpeg, codecs, and helpers so installs don’t surprise you.
  • Transcribe: Whisper/faster-whisper workflow for captions and quick text pulls from audio.
  • Screen recording (Mac today; Linux coming soon): capture clips directly, then batch-convert or preview with presets.
  • Editing with holding bins: trim/cut, stash takes in bins, and compare or export the best clips fast.
  • Batch convert & preview: curated presets, 15s previews, and hardware-accelerated encodes.
  • 4K-ready outputs: optimized pipelines for high-res masters with GPU assist where available.
  • Audio tools: loudnorm, dynamic normalization, and manual gain controls.

Filmic Black & White suite

Craft monochrome looks with filmic contrast, grain, and vignette controls. Preview side by side before you commit, stash variants in holding bins, and export the keeper with a click.

Look & feel

Classic Solaris–style GUI: the primary desktop theme inspired by CDE/Solaris. It provides compact controls, high‑contrast title bars, and keyboard‑friendly layouts for fast navigation. The interface is lightweight, stable, and distraction‑free — built for efficiency and predictable behavior on day‑to-day tasks.

At a glance

  • Fast, reliable batch conversions with curated presets (YouTube, Plex, archival HEVC).
  • Built‑in web import (yt‑dlp) and quick 15s previews so you verify edits before long encodes.
  • Professional audio workflows: loudnorm, dynamic normalization, and manual gain control.
  • Filmic B&W processing with side‑by-side preview and grain/vignette controls.
  • Parallel conversion: split jobs across cores to speed throughput.

Why creators use it

  • Save time: presets and parallel processing remove manual tuning and long waits.
  • Reduce mistakes: preview edits and audio settings before full transcodes.
  • Deliver consistently: loudness compliance and labeled comparisons yield predictable outputs.
  • No command line: friendly desktop UI for single users and small teams.
