New in 1.0.34

MPEG-2 transport-stream smart exports with subtitles now pass the retained-scene interleaving check without weakening payload or timing validation. Supported H.264 MP4 files use bounded sample tables and a short decoded opening check to prepare the editing timeline. Complete timeline verification is deferred to export and cached. Unsupported layouts retain the existing indexing path.

H.264 scene joins now repeat each input's decoder headers, preventing incompatible state from a preceding smart-rendered tail.

Previous update: 1.0.33

Native output-profile backup and restore are available under Tools > Edit Output Profiles. Back Up Profiles saves a .smartcut-profiles.json file with all persisted custom-profile settings, ordering, enabled/favourite flags and the default selection. Restore validates the file and stages the replacement until Save. Cancel preserves saved profiles, and committing a restore first writes a recovery backup.

Verification covers exact round trips, malformed and unsupported files, cancelled dialogs, invalid restores and backup-write failures, recovery rollback and restored-default fallback. Backups cover profiles rather than licences, media or projects.

Previous update: 1.0.32

Saving a project now refreshes audio validation, allowing export without reopening the project. Smart TS edits retain selected teletext outside Matroska working media and restore its retained packets on the edited video timeline. H.264 packet-copy ranges reconstruct decode timestamps while retaining encoded pictures and presentation timestamps.

The fixes were investigated from supplied projects and failure logs. Controlled checks cover GUI save readiness, teletext payload and timing, strict decoding, protected output files and H.264 reorder depths up to 16 B-frames. The reporting customer's original recording was not supplied, so its exact end-to-end result remains unconfirmed.

Previous update: 1.0.30

Satellite transport streams with reserved null packets now load correctly. Output-profile audio codec, sample rate, channel and bitrate settings apply to all retained audio tracks. Known damaged video is reported with cut or recovery guidance. Explicit TS recovery and QuickStream Fix retain supported teletext data, and QuickStream Fix protects existing destination files.

Network exports retain local processing and direct network delivery without creating extra temporary export folders beside the result. Cleanup records exact ownership, skips active jobs and retries locked or interrupted work in the background. Existing untracked folders are left untouched. Local exports and simple whole-file copies keep their existing path.

Development verification includes strict full audio/video decoding of both supplied TS recordings after recovery and MP4 conversion, 19 cleanup ownership cases, 11 cleanup-process lifecycle cases and 15 network integration checks. Three warm runs per build on the tested share had a median of about 4.65 seconds before and after the cleanup change. These results are specific to the tested files and network, and do not replace human visual or lip-sync review.

Previous update: 1.0.29

Corrected presentation timestamps for Xvid/MPEG-4 AVI inputs resolve MP4 and MPEG Program Stream export failures. MPEG-4 MPG output now preserves per-frame timing and includes the decoder information needed when an export starts partway through a recording. Compatible frames remain eligible for copying and smart rendering; MPEG-4 MPG files can be larger because frames are packaged separately.

Both reported exports from the original customer recording passed strict audio/video decoding and frame-timing checks. The MP4 test copied all 1,034 video frames unchanged. The MPG test retained 1,179 unchanged pictures and re-encoded 128 cut-boundary frames. These are automated checks, not a full human visual or lip-sync review.

Previous update: 1.0.28

Run LKFS Scan measures loudness and peaks on the first selected audio track. Adjust Audio adds project output gain, audio format selection and a calculated gain with optional peak headroom. Native projects, recovery journals, Undo/Redo, queued editor exports and edited Joiner items retain these adjustments. The update also fixes audio sync during gain/fade re-encoding and MPEG program-stream framing for MPEG-2 video and private audio streams such as AC3.

Audio-tool verification includes 13 passed regression tests, independent loudness and gain comparisons, and a customer MPEG-2/AC3 clip with the expected gain change and unchanged video packets. This is not a full human listening or lip-sync review. Read the LKFS Scan guide and Adjust Audio guide for the workflow and measurement limits.

Operational monitoring

The signed packages and production-entitlement delivery tests have passed preflight checks. Customer reports and activation failures continue to inform targeted regression tests; support can review export reports when a particular file fails.

Release contents

The customer delivery contains the signed Windows x64 installer and portable ZIP, signed native ARM64 portable ZIP, exact architecture-matched corresponding-source ZIPs and SHA-256 checksum files. The packages include the applicable GPL/LGPL and third-party notices and build material for the distributed release.

The ARM64 package is for Windows 11 on ARM, including Windows VMs on Apple Silicon; it is not a native macOS application. Hardware acceleration is not currently available in the ARM64 build.
