v0

v0.1.0

Initial Release

Released June 1, 2025

Core Compression

  • Six built-in presets: Maximum, Balanced, High Quality, Gaming, Education, and Custom — each tuned for its specific use case
  • Support for 10+ video codecs: H.264 (libx264), H.265/HEVC (libx265), VP9, AV1 (libaom-av1 & libsvtav1), NVIDIA NVENC (H.264/H.265), AMD AMF, Intel QuickSync, and passthrough copy
  • Six audio codecs: AAC, MP3, Opus, Vorbis, FLAC, and passthrough copy
  • Output containers: MP4, MKV, MOV, AVI, WebM, M4V

🎚Compression Controls

  • CRF slider (0–51) for frame-accurate quality control — lower = better quality
  • Encoding speed selector from ultrafast to veryslow, tuning encode time vs. compression ratio
  • Resolution presets: 4K (3840×2160), 1440p, 1080p, 720p, 480p, or pass through original
  • FPS control: lock to 24, 30, or 60 fps, or keep the source frame rate
  • Audio bitrate from 64 kbps to 320 kbps
  • Save and restore unlimited named custom presets

Workflow & UX

  • Drag-and-drop file queue — add as many files as you need and compress them all at once
  • Real-time progress: live FPS, encoding speed (×), estimated time remaining, and current output size
  • Pause, resume, and cancel individual compression jobs without affecting the rest of the queue
  • Video thumbnail preview and full metadata display (resolution, codec, FPS, duration, bitrate) before compressing
  • Automatic output filename generation — originals are never overwritten
  • Desktop notifications on job completion
  • Auto-updater: checks for new releases on launch and installs them in one click

🖥Platform & Technical

  • Cross-platform: Windows x64, macOS Universal (Apple Silicon + Intel), Linux x86_64
  • Built with Tauri v2 and Rust for native performance and a tiny memory footprint
  • Automatic FFmpeg detection — works with system FFmpeg or installs its own bundled copy
  • Zero upload — all video processing happens locally, no data leaves your machine
  • Open source under the MIT license
