Quran Caption v3.6.92

This update improves subtitle splitting, timeline media editing, multi-window support, batch import, WBW styling, export customization, and fixes several updater and rendering issues.

---

Subtitles

• Added a minimum words option when splitting subtitles

  Subtitle splitting can now respect both a minimum and maximum number of words per segment, helping avoid very short subtitles with only one or two words.

---

Timeline

• Added audio and video clip splitting at the timeline cursor

  Right-click a media clip and choose the split action to cut it exactly at the current cursor position.

  Source offsets are preserved correctly, and the action supports Undo / Redo.

• Added snapping between audio and video tracks

  When moving media clips, they can now snap to clips on the opposite track for easier synchronization.

---

Word-by-Word Styles

• Added more control over persistent WBW effects

  Individual word styles can now be configured to either remain visible after recitation or disappear once the word has been recited.

---

Multiple Windows

• Quran Caption can now safely run multiple application windows at the same time.

---

Export

• YouTube chapter format is now saved globally across projects.

• Added an optional Quran Caption promotional card

  You can add a This video was created with Quran Caption card at the beginning or end of exported videos.

  The card automatically adapts to the video orientation and uses a crossfade transition.

  This option is disabled by default.

• Fixed a rare issue where direct exports could end before the full project duration when the video ended with an empty section.

---

Batch & Import

• Batch backup files can now be imported directly from the homepage import button.

• Fixed batch projects being incorrectly marked as failed even when valid saved subtitle clips already existed.

---

Arabic Rendering

• Fixed decorative brackets around multiline RTL Arabic text.

  Brackets are now positioned correctly when Arabic subtitles span multiple lines.

---

Homepage

• Added a thumbnail for project and batch cards in the homepage.

---

Styles

• Style descriptions are now shown when hovering their dedicated info icons.

---

Updater

• Fixed an issue that could prevent Quran Caption from updating correctly.

  The updater now only downloads from the latest desktop release specifically prefixed for Quran Caption.

Quran Caption v3.6.90

This update greatly improves AI translation trimming and review, while also fixing social media downloads and translation error detection.

---

Media Downloads

• Fixed social media downloads not working correctly.

---

AI Translation Review

• Added a new AI translation review tool

  The AI can now review trimmed translations and flag suspicious results that are likely to contain trimming or overlap errors.

• Suspicious translations are marked in yellow and flagged as Needs Review

  This makes it much easier to quickly identify translations that may require manual verification.

---

AI Translation Trimming

• Reworked the AI translation trimming prompt

  Translation alignment now uses improved indexed context, locked ranges, and stricter overlap rules.

• The new approach has been benchmarked and provides significantly more reliable trimming results.

---

Translation Validation

• Improved automatic detection of incorrect fetched translations

  When a partial subtitle incorrectly contains the full verse translation, Quran Caption now detects it and marks it as an AI error.

  This helps surface problematic translations immediately after fetching them.

Quran Caption v3.6.85

This update focuses on timeline video preview improvements, WBW translation stability, and export reliability.

---

Timeline

• Improved video thumbnails in timeline clips

  Video thumbnails now keep their full appearance instead of being visually cropped or altered.

• Thumbnails are now repeated across longer video clips

  This makes it easier to identify the media throughout the entire clip.

• Removed the overlay on video thumbnails

  Timeline previews now display at full opacity for better visibility.

---

Translations

• Fixed a crash when using WBW mode with predefined subtitle translations.

---

Export

• Fixed serialization issues with timed video clips

  Video timing values are now rounded before being sent to Tauri, improving export reliability.

Quran Caption v3.6.83

This update expands the new By Meaning export workflow with batch selection, sequential exports, and automatic randomized backgrounds.

---

By Meaning Export

• Added multi-selection for AI-generated meaning ranges

  You can now Ctrl + Click multiple suggested ranges and queue them for export.

• Fixed an issue where overlapping verse fragments could prevent By Meaning from returning results.

---

Automatic Backgrounds

• Added optional randomized backgrounds from a global folder

  You can select a folder containing images or videos from Advanced Export Settings.

  For each export, Quran Caption can automatically:

  • choose a random image as the background
  • choose a random video and loop it for the duration of the exported range

Quran Caption v3.6.82

This update adds AI-generated short-form export ranges, Ayah-based project cropping, new YouTube chapter grouping options, subtitle audio preview, and several export workflow improvements.

---

AI Export Ranges

• Added By Meaning AI export ranges

  Quran Caption can now analyze a large project and suggest multiple short video ranges based on meaning and context.

  You can define a maximum duration, and the AI will suggest coherent verse ranges that can be batch exported as separate videos.

  This is especially useful for creating TikTok, Reels, Shorts, or other short-form content from a longer Quran project.

• Suggested ranges automatically avoid duplicate verses and validate verse coverage.

---

Ayah Range Crop

• Added Ayah-range project cropping

  You can now keep only a selected range of verses from an existing project.

  This can be used after AI segmentation or at any time from:

  Title Bar → Tools → Select Ayah Range

• Cropping updates:

  • media
  • subtitles
  • timeline overlays

• The action supports Undo / Redo.

• Time-based dual-handle selectors have been replaced with verse-based range selectors where applicable.

• Fixed range colors extending outside the selected verse handles.

---

YouTube Chapters

• Added YouTube chapter grouping by:

  • Juz
  • Hizb
  • Rubʿ

  This gives more options for structuring chapters when exporting long Quran videos.

---

• Added individual subtitle audio playback

  You can now play or pause the audio corresponding exactly to each subtitle's timing directly from the subtitle editor.

---

AI Segmentation

• Final segmentation results now display the detected:

  You no longer need to scroll to reach the export buttons.

• Moved Export Only Recitation out of Advanced Settings

---

Local AI Models

This update improves timeline video editing with clip thumbnails and snapping, fixes fade-through-black exports, and resolves several project and translation issues.

---

Timeline

• Added video frame thumbnails inside timeline clips

  Video clips now display cached frame previews directly in the timeline, making it much easier to identify and navigate media visually.

• Added snapping for moved and trimmed video clips

  Video clips now snap to subtitle boundaries when being moved or trimmed, making precise alignment easier.

---

Video Transitions

• Fixed Fade Through Black around timeline gaps

  Fade-through-black transitions now work correctly when there is a gap between video clips.

---

Translations

  You can now create as many project categories as you want from Settings and use them to better organize your projects.

• Increased the maximum project name length from 50 to 150 characters

  Long export paths are now automatically shortened when necessary to avoid filesystem issues.

---

Basmala Styles

• Added 122 selectable calligraphic Basmala styles

  When a Basmala is present in the project, you can now choose between 122 different calligraphic designs from:

  Styles → Arabic → General Styles

• Each Basmala style includes a preview to make selection easier.

---

Translations

• Added the Quran Lalithasaram Malayalam translation for local use.

---

AI Segmentation

• Fixed the installation of the local Quran Karim Words Alignment model.

---

Export

• Fixed an issue where export capture windows could interfere with the audio used by the editor preview

Quran Caption v3.6.71

This major update adds seven new Quran riwayat, expands batch processing with AI-powered actions, introduces meaning-aware subtitle splitting, improves video transitions, and adds more flexible export range selection.

---

Quran Riwayat

• Added seven KFGQPC riwayat with their dedicated Quran text, fonts, mappings, and verse numbering:

  • Warsh
  • Qalun
  • Shu'bah
  • Duri
  • Susi
  • Bazzi
  • Qunbul

  They can now be selected directly from Arabic → Riwayah.

  Quran Caption can therefore render projects using the proper text and typography for each supported riwayah instead of relying only on the default Hafs text.

i.e., in Warsh, verse 7 of Al-Fatiha is considered two separate verses.

---

AI Subtitle Splitting

• Added meaning-aware AI subtitle splitting

  Subtitles exceeding a selected word limit can now be split using AI while trying to preserve meaningful phrases instead of cutting purely based on word count.

  • projects only
  • batches only
  • both

• Batch project navigation is now always available from the title bar, even when there is no remaining review step.

• The currently active editor tab is preserved when navigating between projects in a batch.

• Moved the Create Batch button above the project list for easier access.

• The QuranReflect panel is no longer shown after every individual video during batch export.

---

Video Transitions

• Improved crossfade editing directly from the timeline

  Video clips can now overlap when using a crossfade transition.

  The duration of each crossfade is automatically determined by the actual overlap between the two clips.

• Fixed video overlaps remaining when switching from Crossfade to Fade Through Black.

• Added clearer explanations for Crossfade and Fade Through Black behavior.

---

Timeline

• Added Y shortcut for quick subtitle merging

  Pressing Y toggles the nearest merge/split point around the timeline cursor.

---

Export

• Added verse-range selection for exports

  In addition to selecting an export range using timestamps, you can now select the start and end verses with a dual verse slider.

• Fixed exports at very small resolutions

  Quran Caption now automatically falls back to libx264 when the selected dimensions are below the minimum supported by H.264 NVENC.

• Verse numbers now remain visible between subtitle splits belonging to the same ayah instead of fading out and appearing again.

---

Translations

• Faster translation fetching from existing projects

  Source projects are now loaded concurrently and reused instead of being repeatedly loaded.

• Updated batch projects are now included when searching for reusable translations.

• Fetching translations from another project now only retrieves the translation text

  Individual word styles and WBW mappings from the source project are no longer copied unintentionally.
