Development and distribution are different.
| Stage | Availability | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-alpha 0.0.1 | Internal development identity | Windows and macOS Dev builds exist; these are not supported public installers |
| Alpha | Planned reviewed release | Friends/public trials follow package, workflow and delivery checks; no release date or numeric Alpha version is announced |
A source build or internal installer does not certify clean-machine installation, hardware compatibility or Resolve behaviour. Only the scope listed with a reviewed public package will be advertised as supported.
The local app is free.
- Motion-graphics design and animation in the editor.
- Local MCP integration for compatible clients.
- Local editable Fusion generation/delivery within supported scope.
- No Carvercat account required for local use.
Source remains private. Your optional AI client or model provider may require its own account, internet access or payment. No paid tier or hosted compiler is required for these local workflows.
What a reviewed download will include.
| Information | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Stage, version and release date | Identifies the exact package and its evolving stage |
| OS, architecture and requirements | Lets you choose the package that was actually checked |
| Integrity and signing details | Lets you verify what you downloaded without bypassing security warnings |
| Installation, update and removal | Explains the supported lifecycle and project preservation |
| Resolve/client compatibility | Names editions, versions and routes rather than broad logos |
| Known issues and guides | Explains limitations before your first project |
There are no package links on this page because a reviewed public package has not been selected. Internal build locations are not distribution instructions.
Prepare for a useful Alpha trial.
- Choose a small, disposable composition and preserve your real work.
- Record the app version/stage, OS and relevant Resolve or client setup.
- Make a graphic, revise it, then save and reopen.
- Use only the delivery routes documented for that package.
- Report exact steps, expected/actual result and a cleared minimal example.
