Hey 👋
v0.1.22 just shipped.

This is a big one. Keyframe animation support in the editor. A dedicated subtitle tool. And smart video compression.

Let's break it down.


🎬 Keyframe Animation - Full Control Over Time

The editor now supports keyframe animation for:

  • Position (x, y) — Move elements across the screen
  • Scale — Grow or shrink over time
  • Rotation — Spin and rotate with precision
  • Opacity — Fade in, fade out, or anything in between

Here's how it works:

  1. Select an element on the timeline
  2. Move to the frame where you want to set a keyframe
  3. Click keyframe diamon icon and ddjust the property (position, scale, rotation, or opacity)
  4. Move to another frame, adjust again—another keyframe
  5. The editor smoothly interpolates between keyframes

This unlocks:

  • Animated intros and outros
  • Dynamic text reveals
  • Pan and zoom effects
  • Complex motion graphics
  • Professional transitions

No more static elements. Everything can move, scale, rotate, and fade exactly how you want it.


📝 New Tool: /add-subtitles-to-video

We've added a dedicated page for adding subtitles to your videos.

Navigate to /add-subtitles-to-video, upload your video, and start adding subtitles.

Features:

  • Timecode-based subtitle entry
  • Live preview as you type
  • Multiple subtitle formats supported
  • Customizable styling (font, size, position, color)

Perfect for:

  • Educational content
  • Accessibility compliance
  • Multi-language support
  • Tutorial videos

Simple, focused, and fast. Just what you need when subtitles are the only thing you're adding.


🗜️ New Tool: /compress - Smart Video Compression

Sometimes you need a smaller file. Now there's a dedicated page for that.

The new /compress page offers three compression modes:

Basic

Balanced quality and file size reduction. Good for most use cases.

  • Target: ~30-40% file size reduction
  • Quality: Minimal visible loss
  • Use case: General sharing, web uploads

Aggressive

Noticeable compression, but still acceptable quality for web use.

  • Target: ~50-60% file size reduction
  • Quality: Some visible compression artifacts
  • Use case: Fast uploads, bandwidth-constrained environments

Very Aggressive

Maximum compression. Quality loss is visible but file size is minimal.

  • Target: ~70-80% file size reduction
  • Quality: Significant quality loss
  • Use case: File size is critical, quality is secondary

Upload your video, pick a mode, and export.
