PixClip is a high-performance desktop image and video editing application built in Python and PySide6. Designed for speed and visual precision, PixClip features a stateless, composable image pipeline operating in 32-bit floating-point precision. Perceptual adjustments like lightness, contrast, and clarity are computed in CIELAB color space to preserve natural hues. Highlights include local contrast clarity via structure-preserving bilateral filtering, and edge sharpness using unsharp masking with a smart noise threshold. For video, PixClip translates slider adjustments into native FFmpeg filtergraphs, achieving hardware-accelerated exports that run 10x to 50x faster than traditional Python loops. It comes preloaded with 30+ creative filters across 9 families (Vivid, Film, Cinematic, Moody) and supports custom 3D LUTs (.cube). The UI includes a clean Dark/Light theme toggle and a configurable asset thumbnail grid.
Features
- Clarity adjustment using a structure-preserving bilateral filter on the luminance channel.
- Unsharp masking (USM) edge sharpness restricted by a noise-threshold mask to suppress grain.
- Hardware-accelerated video export translating parameters directly into native FFmpeg filtergraphs.
- Includes 30+ creative presets across 9 families and supports custom 3D LUTs (.cube).
- Polished Qt6 / PySide6 desktop interface with Dark and Light mode themes.
