🚧 OpenCut:Delta 1.0.0 is Live – Help Us Shape the Final Cut-update-2♥

This content originally appeared on DEV Community and was authored by kinandev

Hey devs,
The wheels are still turning! After three weeks of solo hacking, I’m happy to announce Delta 1.0.0, the bleeding-edge development build of our free, open-source video editor. Here’s everything you need to know.
🧭 Release road-map (why the weird version numbers?)

Delta – unstable, rewrite-friendly.
Beta – feature-complete, public testing.
Stable – production-ready, installs everywhere.

If Beta ends up at 1.0.79, the first stable tag will be 1.1.79. Future majors will simply bump the first digit (2.x, 3.x, …).
🔥 What changed since the last post

Complete code-base rewrite – faster, leaner, easier to contribute to.
Re-arranged UI – the media panel is now compact and dock-friendly.
Timeline (WIP) – this is eating most of my time:
    Drag-and-drop a video (single clip for now).
    One lightweight thumbnail strip keeps RAM usage low.
    Waveform preview highlights silent vs. audible regions.
    Stretchable timeline without frame drops or CPU spikes.
18 new themes – dark, light, and a few pastel ones that the community asked for.

🙋‍♂️ How you can help

Test the Delta build and file bugs.
Suggest features or UX tweaks – nothing is set in stone yet.
Open PRs – even a typo fix is welcome.

I’m still coding alone, so every star, issue, or retweet keeps the momentum alive.
📅 ETA
If the current pace holds, Beta will drop before the end of this month, with a stable v1.1.x release planned for next month.

Thank you for being part of this journey—this editor is built by the community, for the community. Let’s make the final cut together!
Happy clipping,
