Tracking is manual, recorded mouse path, or auto.\n\n## Features\n\n- Paste a video URL — TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Reddit — downloads via `yt-dlp`, plays in-app\n- **`yt-dlp` self-updates** weekly from its official GitHub releases, with validation, rollback, and a manual *Check yt-dlp* button. Bundled copy is the immutable fallback.\n- Trim with `[` / `]` (or the inputs)\n- Export to **MP4** or **GIF** at three quality presets\n- Auto-copies the finished file to clipboard; **Copy Last** re-copies the previous export\n- Custom output folder + live output-size estimate\n- **Focus Tools** for following a subject on export:\n  - **Reframe Camera** — animate a crop to follow the subject; lock to 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9\n  - **Highlight Box / Label Box** — moving outline (and text) over the original frame\n  - **Blur / Censor / Pixelate** — moving privacy mask\n  - **Spotlight** — clear region with the rest dimmed\n  - Shape: Rectangle or Circle (export honors the shape via `geq` alpha-mask)\n- Three tracking methods: manual keyframes, record-mouse-path (with EMA smoothing + post-record Smooth pass), auto-track (stub returning a friendly \"not supported\" error)\n- Hold-to-record: click+hold the focus box, press **R**, drag to trace, release to stop while video keeps playing\n- Timeline with keyframe markers, drag-select range, right-click delete\n- Persistable Focus Tools defaults across clips, with a Reset button\n\n## Quick start\n\nGrab the latest from the [Releases page](../../releases/latest):\n\n- **Portable** (`*-portable.zip`) — unzip anywhere, run `xclip.exe`. No installer, no SmartScreen signature prompt. Recommended for most users.\n- **Installer** (`*-setup.exe` or `.msi`) — if you want Start Menu integration / uninstaller.\n\nFor development setup see [`INSTALL.md`](./INSTALL.md).\n\n## Keyboard shortcuts\n\n| Key | Action |\n|-----|--------|\n| `Space` | Play / pause |\n| `[` | Set trim start to current time |\n| `]` | Set trim end to current time |\n| `Enter` | Export |\n| `K` | Add keyframe at current time (Focus Tools enabled) |\n| `Shift+K` | Delete selected keyframe |\n| `,` / `.` | Previous / next keyframe |\n| `R` | Toggle Record Path (or click+hold the focus box, then press R for hold-to-record) |\n| `Delete` / `Backspace` | Delete keyframes in timeline range selection |\n| `Esc` | Clear timeline range selection |\n\n## Tech stack\n\n- **Frontend**: Svelte 5 (runes) + TypeScript + Vite\n- **Backend**: Tauri 2 (Rust)\n- **Media**: bundled `ffmpeg` + `ffprobe` (BtbN GPL build) + `yt-dlp` as sidecar binaries\n- **HTTP**: `reqwest` (rustls) for the yt-dlp updater\n\nSee [NOTICES.md](./NOTICES.md) for third-party licenses.\n\n## Project layout\n\n```\nsrc/                  Svelte frontend\nsrc/lib/focus/        Focus Tools utilities (types, interpolation, coords)\nsrc/lib/Focus*.svelte Focus Tools UI (overlay, panel)\nsrc/stores/           App state (clip + focus state with localStorage persistence)\nsrc/bindings/tauri.ts Tauri command bindings\nsrc-tauri/src/        Rust backend\nsrc-tauri/src/focus/  Focus filter graph generator\nsrc-tauri/binaries/   Sidecar binaries (NOT committed — see binaries/README.md)\n.github/workflows/    CI: builds + auto-releases on tag push\n```\n\n## License\n\nxclip itself is **MIT**. Bundled third-party binaries (ffmpeg, ffprobe, yt-dlp) keep their own licenses — see [NOTICES.md](./NOTICES.md) for full disclosure.\n\n\u003e yt-dlp self-updates from its [official GitHub releases](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases) at most once per 7 days. The bundled copy is the immutable fallback — manual update available via the **Check yt-dlp** button next to the URL field.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbiggiesmallcap-blip%2Fxclip","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbiggiesmallcap-blip%2Fxclip","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbiggiesmallcap-blip%2Fxclip/lists"}
