Roadmap

What's coming next for Artidor (last updated: June 17, 2026)

1

Start

Completed

This is where it all started. Repository created, initial project structure, and the vision for a free, open-source video editor. Check out the first tweet to see where it started.

2

Core UI

Completed

Build the foundation - main layout, header, sidebar, timeline container, and basic component structure. Not all functionality yet, but the UI framework that everything else builds on.

3

Essential functionality

In progress

Everything that makes a video editor useful. Timeline interactivity, storage, effects, transitions, etc.

Recently shipped: 75+ customizable Alight Motion-style shapes, reusable layer/group presets with right-click save, GPU-rendered text raster cache, per-character text animators (Fade, Rise, Drop, Zoom, Pop, Typewriter, Wave), Easy Ease (F9) and the Keyframe Assistant menu, and several timeline polish fixes (clip-trim anchors, ruler flicker).

4

Pro editor tooling

Not started

Alight Motion / CapCut parity: copy layer + paste style, freehand vector draw tool, full plugin system with categories and importable plugins, detachable / pop-out panels, and richer effect & transition previews.

5

Effects, transitions & speed

Not started

50+ effects and transitions, color grading moved to the Adjust tab, Border & Shadow, Color & Fill, CapCut-style velocity retiming, Alight Motion manual speed graph, and copy/paste effect.

6

AI & provider flexibility

Not started

OpenAI-compatible provider for the AI Co-Pilot so users can point the assistant at any local or self-hosted endpoint.

7

Native app (mobile/desktop)

Not started

Native Artidor apps for Mac, Windows, Linux, and iOS/Android.
