in a future update, can u PLS add audio playback when you move the timeline? that would be SOOOO helpful!

Yeah scrubbing and a synced library would be epic. That’d make me switch

Candlestick 1.0.1 has been released!

Aside from a few new features and bug fixes (including layer opacity and mobile touch controls), we’ve been working on a prerelease desktop app!

You can download Candlestick from the above GitHub link, or as always, try it out at https://candlestickers.app/.

is the desktop app broken like wick editor

the desktop app is actually more improved in comparison to the older Wick app—

There are still a few bugs with the mac version of the app, but it’s under 60MB and works nearly as good as the web editor (in comparison to the older wick app, which was ~600MB with a lot more bugs, such as built-in assets not importing).

And to add one more thing— with the app version you’d be able to open Wick files by simply double clicking on the file, or you can right click MP4’s, PNGs, etc. and select “open with candlestick”

Of course this is but a small update. We plan to continue adding more app-specific features as such and improve the app till it reaches a perfect state.

there are known differences though:

  • various javascript window functions do not work (there is one that works on windows but not mac)
    • due to this, uploading mp4s on mac forces the fps to be 6 but thats not a huge deal right now riiiight (we will be working to fix that)
  • the app does not warn before you quit or close the window

yeah thats the bad part cuz i sometimes acidently close the window

Thank you for adding Layer Opacity! I’ve been wishing we had something like that for ages.

Yeah, the quit thing is easy. You just gotta decide to close the app/window with an input (OS dialogue).

Can you please add a feature to edit uploaded assets on Candlestick? It’s pretty much impossible for us to do anything other than change size or skewing or rotation and stuff, and we can’t erase any sections of assets. Also Candlestick is absolutely epic. We have basically forgotten vanilla Wick Editor is a thing :slight_smile:
