Released v0.1.3
AspectShift-HtoV v0.1.3 — Detachable Preview, Multi-Image Overlays & Export Improvements
This update adds a detachable preview window, flexible multi-image overlays, more accurate on-canvas editing, expanded export quality controls, and improvements to platform presets, batch rendering, and overall reliability.
New features
- Open a separate, resizable preview window with the same video, overlays, and tools. Changes remain drafts until you select Apply; closing the window discards them.
- Add and manage multiple image overlays, including animated GIFs, with resize, rotate, flip, crop, opacity, and flexible positioning controls.
- Edit text and images directly on the canvas, freely position and rotate them, duplicate overlays, and nudge them with the arrow keys.
- Choose a custom background color for empty bars; existing settings continue to load with black as the default.
- Choose from 10 export quality levels instead of 3, with clearer speed and audio-bitrate options and a live preview of effective settings.
Export and platform improvements
- Preview text sizing and overlay/subtitle placement now match the exported video more closely, including text rendering and preview scaling.
- Retuned YouTube, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Square, Instagram Reels, TikTok, X, and Reddit presets with more suitable canvas sizes, upload guidance, audio settings, and faster default encoding.
- Improved export validation and guidance for incompatible settings, and reject invalid quality or override combinations before rendering.
- Freely position text, images, and manually positioned subtitles, including partly outside the frame; anything beyond the frame is clipped in the output.
Reliability and fixes
- Reworked batch rendering to process multiple videos within safe system limits, fall back to one-at-a-time processing when system information is unclear, and handle low disk space or resource exhaustion more safely.
- Improved queue reliability, progress/result isolation when clearing or restarting a batch, temporary subtitle-file cleanup, and scheduling for short jobs.
- Polished preview playback and shortcuts, including Space to play or pause and Esc to exit fullscreen; improved pop-out audio ownership, controls, and theme behavior.
- Fixed exported text sizing, oversized text shifting the preview, duplicated text moving toward the frame, volume-slider hover behavior, and mismatched preset quality labels.
- Corrected Windows color rendering so app colors no longer appear unusually warm or yellow.
