Blick 0.1.1

New Features

• Track selection:
  • move the track cursor with Up/Down to select a track, or upon click
  • paste clips now take onto the selected track, insert a new track, and move the selected track up or down.
• Right click drag now box selects clips and keyframes; a plain right click still opens the context menu.
• Right click empty timeline space to paste at that position.
• Set render parameters from a media file directly via its right click menu in the media panel.
• Renders no longer overwrite an existing output file by default: Blick writes a numbered duplicate instead, with a checkbox to allow overwriting.
• New settings: invert horizontal scroll, invert vertical scroll, and stop playback after seeking.
• Refreshed the color themes, and added two theme: Void and Catpuccin.
• Support for AV1 hardware decoding.
• Ukrainian localization, bringing Blick to 13 languages besides English.

Improvements

• Autosave runs on a background thread, so it no longer interrupts editing.
• Hold Ctrl while dragging an effect value for finer control, hold Shift to snap to steps.
• Lifted the cap on the number of effects per clip.
• The knife tool cuts qunatizes to frames on video clips and when splitting all tracks.
• Audio automation curves thin out when zoomed far out, keeping the timeline fast.
• The font list on macOS is deduplicated, sorted alphabetically, and includes user-installed fonts.
• The transform anchor stays visible while editing it, and anchor values show as percentages with two decimals.
• Fullscreen now hides the title bar.
• Windows are capped to a minimum size on open.
• Failing to read or decode a project file shows an alert instead of failing silently.
• Project render parameters are auto-set only by the first video clip dropped in, not every time the timeline is empty.
• Smoother window zoom and tiling animations on macOS, including multi-window tiling.
