SnapTrim V1.5

New Features

You can now choose to dock the settings panels on either the left or right side of the screen:

You can now copy and paste redactions using familiar keyboard shortcuts:

This makes it easy to create multiple redactions with similar properties or duplicate a complex animated redaction to cover multiple objects.

Animated redactions now support size changes between keyframes:

Per-keyframe sizing — Resize a redaction at a specific time to set that keyframe’s size
Smooth interpolation — Size smoothly transitions between keyframes in both preview and export
Combined animation — Position and scale can be animated together on the same keyframe
Keyframe dropdown icon — A new resize icon is shown next to the keyframe in the keyframe dropdown so you can quickly see whether size and/or position is changed in that keyframe.

This allows you to track objects that grow or shrink over time, such as following a person walking towards or away from the camera.

When editing a previously applied trim or crop, a new Cancel button appears:

Cancel button — Discards your changes and restores the previously applied state
Escape key — Press Escape to cancel trim or crop edits quickly
Full undo support — Cancel operations can be undone with Ctrl+Z

This makes it easy to experiment with different trim or crop settings without losing your applied values.

Renamed “Save” to “Save Project” and “Save As” to “Save Project As” in the File menu for clarity
Removed the interactive tour feature
Added “Documentation” link in Help menu for quick access to online help
Removed lossless trim mode — exports now always re-encode for frame-accurate cuts that match the preview exactly (previously, lossless mode could only cut at keyframe boundaries, causing timing mismatches)

The “Constrain playback to trim region” and “Go to trim start/end” buttons are now hidden after a trim is applied, as they’re no longer relevant — the timeline already shows only the trimmed region
Added Ctrl+Enter keyboard shortcut to the keyboard shortcuts help dialog
Selecting a redaction from the list no longer automatically seeks the playhead to the redaction’s start time, allowing for smoother workflow when reviewing multiple redactions
Improved timing accuracy for variable frame rate (VFR) videos — timecode display now uses the actual video frame rate instead of assuming 30fps
When deleting a keyframe for an animated redaction, the next nearest one is automatically selected
Dimensions of redaction regions are shown on the region during resizing
Dimensions of crop regions are shown on the overlay during resizing
Added a “duplicate keyframe” button alongside the keyframe dropdown

Fixed crop overlay shrinking when dragged past video boundaries — the overlay now maintains its size and only clamps position when moved beyond the edge
Fixed redaction preview generating the wrong frame when trim is applied (now correctly uses the playhead position)
Fixed animated redaction preview showing incorrect positions when trim is applied (keyframe interpolation now uses rebased timeline coordinates)
Fixed “Set to Playhead” buttons for redaction custom time ranges not respecting applied trim (now uses rebased timeline position)
Fixed temporary redaction preview images not being cleaned up from the temp directory — preview files are now properly deleted when dismissed, when the app exits, and orphaned files from previous sessions are cleaned up on startup
Fixed clicking the currently open project in the Recent menu unnecessarily reloading it
Fixed “Go to start” and “Go to end” buttons incorrectly navigating to the trim region while editing a trim — they now navigate the full video until the trim is applied
Fixed overlay elements (redaction rectangles) being visible behind the video during redaction preview when positioned near the edge
