VLC and Apple Silicon support is here — and still needs your help

The first version is out. Jubler now uses VLC instead of the aging mplayer and ffdecode components, bringing modern codec support and native Apple Silicon compatibility to video preview, frame preview, and audio waveforms.

This is a major step forward for everyone, on every platform. Video preview, frame preview, and audio waveforms are now built right into Jubler on Windows, macOS, and Linux, backed by support for a much wider range of modern codecs and containers. The formats you actually work with simply play — reliably, and right inside the editor.

That said, this took a tremendous amount of work and careful integration. The first release was pushed out as quickly as possible because the situation was urgent: staying without a working, future-proof preview system was not an option. But shipping that first version does not mean the work is finished.

Many of you stepped up to help, and I am genuinely grateful — thank you. This milestone is not the finish line, though. The effort behind it was enormous, and this remains an ongoing project that needs steady care to keep moving forward.
