FrameTrellis v1.3.0: Safer Editing, Smarter Media Management

Today, I'm sharing FrameTrellis v1.3.0 , a new stable release of my open-source desktop video editor.

This update focuses on editing reliability, file safety, improved media discovery, and better tools for understanding project state.

FrameTrellis is built with C++20, Qt 6/QML, MLT, and FFmpeg .

It is designed around a simple principle: video editing should remain local, transparent, and under the user's control.

Why this release matters

For v1.3.0, I focused on making those underlying workflows more dependable.
