01 / Zero Memory Leaks

Rust Memory Safety

Premiere Pro is notorious for crashing on long timelines. FilmCraft utilizes Rust's strict ownership model, preventing memory corruptions and crashes during 4K/8K rendering.

02 / Realtime Scopes

60 FPS Color Grading

Broadcast-grade Waveform, Vectorscope, and RGB Parade rendered at 60 FPS on your GPU without dropping playback frames on high bit-rate footage.

03 / Modern Codecs

AV1 & ProRes Acceleration

Built-in hardware decoding and encoding for modern next-gen video codecs: AV1, Apple ProRes, and H.265/HEVC with zero third-party plugin purchases.
