v0.8.0Release notes

Your finished video. Ready to share.

Ask your agent to upload a finished cut, email a watch link, and hand the video to the next editor. Local editing still works without an account.

    Agent-to-agent handoff

Upload, share, and hand off

  • Connect an optional account, upload a finished MP4 privately, then share a watch-and-download link. A recipient can pass the downloaded video to their own agent for the next edit.
  • Shared links are unlisted and forwardable: anyone holding the link can watch and download. Emailing one address does not restrict access to that address. Downloads contain the finished MP4, not sources or edit history.

Keep control of links and storage

  • Inspect shares, revoke a link, or delete an uploaded video. Unsharing keeps the video; deletion disables its links and frees quota after stored cleanup completes. Already downloaded copies cannot be recalled.
  • Hosted uploads require supported H.264 MP4 media with AAC when audio is present. Hosting remains optional and subject to the connected service's limits.

A smoother local edit

  • Import caption files, transcribe a selected range, preserve caption placement during regeneration, and inspect screenshots against social-platform safe areas.
  • Explicit H.264 encoder selection and macOS VideoToolbox fallback improve rendering compatibility, including oversized caption graphs and odd-sized inputs.

Get v0.8.0

Python 3.10 or newer, FFmpeg, and ffprobe are required for this release. Existing local projects need no migration for optional hosted sharing.

python -m pip install --upgrade 'moviestar==0.8.0'
