Clips Studio Files

Clips Studio is now Clips Kitty. Same app, same repository, same data — your clips, settings and creator profiles stay exactly where they are and open as normal. The name changed to meet Microsoft Store naming requirements.

Download

ClipsKitty-Web-Setup-1.1.3.exe — under 1 MB, then downloads about 6 GB (the engine, FFmpeg, the AI runtime and the tracking and transcription models). That is everything; there is nothing else to install.

Already running an older version? It will offer the update itself.

Windows 10/11, 16 GB of RAM, and ideally an NVIDIA graphics card. On 8 GB it analyses a whole video and then fails at the render stage, which looks like a crash rather than a limit.

Fixed

Clips that failed for no clear reason are no longer lost. A cleanup step could fail on Windows and, in failing, destroy the real error and throw away clips that had already rendered. One report showed ten of thirteen clips lost this way, every one reporting the same misleading "file is being used by another process". The clip is kept now, and if something does go wrong the message says what actually happened. (#74)

The same mistake was fixed everywhere it could occur — clips, longform, podcast, subtitles, dubbing and the watermark pass — and two tests now scan the whole codebase so it cannot be reintroduced. One of those found a second instance the report never touched.

Added

AI dubbing works in an installed copy. It never has before: the speech engine was deliberately left out because the code called it in a way that cannot work inside a packaged app. That is rewritten, and the engine ships. Voices download the first time you dub a language (~60 MB each, 15 languages).

This also fixes languages that used to fail silently — Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Korean, Urdu, Bengali and Thai were dropped by a text-encoding bug in the old approach.

Brazilian Portuguese is fully translated, thanks to @espinafr. Portuguese was listed as complete and was not: 133 of the app's 208 phrases were falling back to English.

Changed

• The clip editor page is called Clip Editor, which is what it is.
• The version jumped from 0.1.2 to 1.1.3. The Microsoft Store will not accept a version starting with 0, so every release used to carry two numbers — one in the app, another on the Store — and somebody had to remember the mapping. From here they are the same number. This is still alpha software; the leading 1 is a Store requirement, not a claim.

Known

Gaming footage remains the weakest case. Clips Kitty is built for IRL, just-chatting and talking-head content, and the vertical crop works by tracking a person — so gameplay with nobody on screen frames poorly. Live streams are still not supported; it works on finished VODs.

Windows only. There is no Mac build, and the maintainer has no Mac to test one on — #62 if you can help.

Windows SmartScreen will warn on first run: the installer is not code-signed yet.
