v1.12.0

What's New

• Audio waveform display — Both the playback scrubber and the trim bar now show a waveform of the source audio. Played regions tint with the accent color, trimmed-out regions dim, and you can click/drag anywhere on the waveform to seek. Generated off the main actor on import/load via AVAssetReader.

The system Slider in the playback bar has been replaced with a custom waveform-aware scrubber for cleaner timing-feedback while editing.

v1.11.0 — LRC & SRT Export

New

• Export as SRT — portable subtitle file that pairs with the original source video, usable in Premiere / Final Cut / VLC / YouTube.
• Export as LRC — synced lyrics file that pairs with the original audio, usable in Spotify / iTunes / foobar2000 / mobile music players.

Both formats preserve your manually-tuned timing as source-absolute timestamps, with bilingual text emitted as a second line (SRT) or a repeated-timestamp translation line (LRC). Export menu is now a pull-down with Video / Subtitles / Synced Lyrics.

v1.10.0

Highlights

• Undo/Redo (Cmd+Z / Shift+Cmd+Z) — all project edits covered: timing, anchors, ignore regions, trim, alignment, style presets. Drag bursts coalesce into one step.
• Inspector tabs use SF Symbols so the 7-tab strip no longer clips at narrow widths; active tab title shown as a header.
• Toolbar now scrolls horizontally on smaller windows.

See PR #3 for details.

v1.9.0 — Editable Lyrics & Chinese Support

What's New

Editable Lyrics After Alignment

• Edit primary/secondary lyric text inline from the Block inspector — timing, anchors, and confidence are preserved.
• Bulk re-parse via the paste/edit sheet now preserves timing for blocks whose text is unchanged, so small fixes no longer wipe alignment.
• The paste/edit sheet is pre-filled with current lyrics when reopened.

Chinese Language Support

• Added Chinese (zh) as a primary language for whisper-based subtitle alignment.
