StoryToolkitAI v0.17.1 - super alpha

Download the standalone release here:

StoryToolkitAI 0.17.1 for Mac M1

StoryToolkitAI 0.17.1 for Mac Intel

StoryToolkitAI 0.17.1 for Windows (only for CUDA GPUs)

Tested only on a handful of machines, so please report if something doesn't work as expected.

What's new in this release

  • Advanced Transcript Search Button allows you to search in multiple transcripts or even a whole folder of transcripts
  • Switched to all-MiniLM-L6-v2 default model for significantly faster semantic searches
  • Some new shortcuts, see them here
  • FFMPEG check was buggy on some machines, so hopefully now it's fixed

Installation:

Mac OS

You need to install ffmpeg manually from the terminal and the easiest way to do that is via Homebrew:

1. Install Homebrew

Open up a Terminal window, then run:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

If Homebrew installation fails, first make sure you have xcode installed:
xcode-select --install

Note: if Homebrew installation fails for any reason, a good starting point is this page.

2. Install ffmpeg:

In the same Terminal window:
brew install ffmpeg

3. Open the release file

First, download the StoryToolkitAI zip file that fits with your platform, if you haven't done so already.
Unzip, copy the app file into your Applications folder, then double click and it should start.

4. Give the app all the necessary permissions to run

Mac OS might warn you of malicious software or it might ask you to allow the app to access files on your Mac. If the app won't start, first try to right click on the app and then click Open, and probably Open again on the dialog you'll see. If it still doesn't work, try this: Safely open apps on your Mac, and maybe this: control access to files and folders on Mac

If you get something like ""StoryToolkitAI.X.X.X" is damaged and can't be opened" and you downloaded the release from this page, open Terminal in the folder with the app and try to take the app out of Mac quarantine with this command before starting the app:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./StoryToolkitAI.0.17.1.M1.app. More details on the issue here.

Note: The standalone version does not open up the console. If you're interested to see what is happening behind the hood, open a terminal in the folder where you have the tool (typically in your Downloads or Applications folder) and run this command:

./[STORYTOOLKITAI_APP_NAME].app/Contents/MacOS/[STORYTOOLKIT_APP_NAME]  

# (but replace [STORYTOOLKIT_APP_NAME] with the name of your release)

Windows

1. Download and install ffmpeg

The simplest approach is to use a package manager like Choco. Once you follow the installation steps for "Individual Use" on that page, you can install ffmpeg using this command in the command prompt:

choco install ffmpeg

2. Download and extract the release

The release file is a self extracting archive. Choose the folder where you want to have StoryToolkitAI on your computer and extract it there.

3. Open the app

Open the folder where you un-archived the file, and open the StoryToolkitAI.X.X.X.WIN.exe file, where X are the version numbers.

Info for all platforms

Make sure Resolve scripting is enabled

The tool only works with the Studio version of Davinci Resolve.

Davinci Resolve Preferences -> General, "External Scripting using", set to: Local

Downloading models to the cache

The first time you transcribe something with a specific model, it will take a bit longer to start the process because Whisper needs to download the model file (around 1.5GB for the medium model) on your local machine. But, after the model is saved on your machine, transcriptions will take less. The same applies to the advanced search function._
