Roadmap
What's coming next for Artidor (last updated: June 17, 2026)
Start
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.
Core UI
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.
Essential functionality
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).
Pro editor tooling
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.
Effects, transitions & speed
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.
AI & provider flexibility
OpenAI-compatible provider for the AI Co-Pilot so users can point the assistant at any local or self-hosted endpoint.
Native app (mobile/desktop)
Native Artidor apps for Mac, Windows, Linux, and iOS/Android.
