ClipShip changelog

What's new, what changed, and what to know before updating.

ClipShip updates are shipped through the desktop app's built-in updater. When an update is available, the app shows an update prompt with a link back to this page.

If an update does not install correctly, or if a bug is still reproducible after updating, email [email protected] with the app version and what you were trying to do.

v1.0.1: Stability update

June 4, 2026

This update focuses on the two issues reported after launch: local AI device mode and the unsaved-project close prompt.

Changes

  • Fixed Local AI processing mode so choosing CPU actually forces the clip-selection AI to run on CPU.
  • Kept transcription device selection separate, so Whisper can still use GPU automatically when it is safe while CPU mode controls the local AI clip finder.
  • Added stricter GPU mode behavior. If GPU mode is selected and CUDA is not really being used, ClipShip fails clearly instead of silently falling back.
  • Reduced Settings flicker by preloading hardware and CUDA status when the app starts.
  • Improved the unsaved-project close prompt so the app cleanup waits until the window is really closing.
  • Cleaned up local AI error messages so failed model/server startup is easier to understand.

Notes

  • First-time setup still needs internet for the bundled model, transcription runtime, and optional CUDA downloads.
  • Windows SmartScreen may still warn on install because ClipShip does not yet have an EV code-signing certificate.

v1.0.0: Public launch

May 21, 2026

The first public Windows release of ClipShip, a local AI clip generator for turning long talking-head videos into short-form clips.

Changes

  • Local video processing for transcription, clip selection, face-tracking vertical crop, captions, and export.
  • Free tier with 720p exports and a Pro tier with 1080p exports, no watermark, and custom caption styles.
  • One-time Pro license with update support instead of a monthly subscription.
  • Auto-updater support for future Windows releases.

Notes

  • ClipShip is a public v1 desktop app. Bug reports and feature requests go to [email protected].
