Take the cut home.
Every build is served straight from this page: no cloud detour, no redirect. The files come down through Cutlass's own server, pulled from the tagged release you choose. It is alpha software: expect rough edges and a project format that hasn't settled.

[alpha-0.7.0] — 2026-07-22
Added
- Blend modes. Every visual clip has a blend mode dropdown (multiply,
screen, overlay, darken, lighten, and friends) composited on the GPU.
- Layer styles. Drop shadow, glow, outline, and background plate on any
visual clip — video, text, shapes, stickers. Every style property is
animatable, with live preview while dragging sliders.
- Keyframe graph editor. A drawer under the timeline plots parameter
curves; drag keyframes, insert and delete them, and shape segment easing
with bezier handles.
- Motion paths. Position keyframes take spatial bezier tangents, so
clips travel curves instead of straight lines. The path draws on the
preview canvas with draggable points and tangent handles.
- Motion blur. Per-clip motion blur supersamples animated transforms
in the compositor.
- Per-character text animation. Character-cascade presets rendered
through a new GPU glyph atlas with an instanced text pipeline, plus
speed / intensity / stagger knobs on all animation presets.
- Mask and chroma key inspectors. Clip masks gained animatable geometry
(position, size, rotation, roundness); mask and chroma sections are now
editable in the clip inspector.
- Six new color adjust sliders. Tint, hue, highlights, shadows,
sharpness, and vignette, alongside the existing grade controls.
- Animatable crop. Crop rectangles interpolate between keyframes.
- Per-axis scale. Scale X and Y independently from the transform
inspector (old uniform-scale projects load unchanged).
- Audio pan. Animatable constant-power pan in the shared preview /
export mixer.
- More easing. Hold (step) easing, plus named presets: snappy,
overshoot, anticipate, bounce, elastic, and back.
- Typed effect parameters. Effects can take color and vec2 parameters
(not just scalars), with new duotone and color-overlay effect passes.
Changed
- Almost everything is keyframable. Text style metrics, filter / LUT /
adjust intensities, mask and chroma settings, and layer styles all route
through the same keyframe system, with keyframe controls in every
inspector row and full coverage on the AI wire.
- AI setup is provider-based. Configure any OpenAI-compatible provider
(key, base URL, model) in settings; the old cloud account flow is gone.
- Text backgrounds animate. The text background card (color, padding,
radius, opacity) is animatable and rendered in preview and export.

Every tagged release, still downloadable. Handy if a newer build regresses on your machine and you need to roll back.

Build it from source instead.
Stable Rust 1.85+ and the FFmpeg dev libraries are all you need.
