Roadmap
The whole plan, honestly labeled
Hermite ships in four stages, each independently useful. Everything below is the full eventual feature set — statuses tell you what's real today versus what's coming, straight from the repo.
Stage 1 · v1
In developmentHermite Motion
One-click motion presets, a bezier easing curve editor, and speed-ramp tools — so smooth keyframe animation doesn't require hand-editing curves in Fusion.
Motion preset pack (.drfx)
Slide-in (4 directions), pop/scale-in, ken burns pan-zoom, and fade+move combos as reusable Fusion macros with Inspector controls. One double-click to install.
Bezier easing curve editor
Draggable-handle curve UI with a preset library — linear, ease, ease-in-out, overshoot, bounce — applied to real keyframes on a selected Fusion node.
Speed-ramp graph editor
Click-drag speed curves with ease handles and hold/freeze segments, modeled on the After Effects graph editor.
Batch apply
Select multiple clips, apply one preset to all of them at once.
Stage 2 · v1.5
In developmentHermite Subs
On-device transcription and captioning — model choice, voice activity detection, styling presets, and a correction pass before anything touches your timeline. No cloud calls.
On-device transcription
Choice of model size and family — small and fast, or larger and more accurate — running entirely on your machine.
Voice activity detection
Silence is skipped before transcription, so long timelines process faster.
Styled subtitle tracks
Auto-generated Resolve subtitle/Text+ tracks with adjustable styling presets — font, position, background, karaoke-style highlight.
Correction pass
A waveform + text editor to fix errors before committing to the timeline. Nothing is written without your review.
Speaker diarization
Identify and label different speakers in the transcript.
Stage 3 · v2
Coming soonHermite AI
A swappable on-device model layer — pick the lightweight local model that fits your RAM and GPU, starting with caption punctuation and cleanup.
Model picker & manager
Supported local models listed with disk and RAM requirements shown before download, plus version management. Swap models without touching the rest of the app.
Caption punctuation & cleanup
The first concrete AI use case: a bounded, low-risk pass that directly improves transcription output.
Optional cloud pass (opt-in)
A clearly labeled, off-by-default higher-quality cloud option for users who want it. Never a silent fallback — your data stays local unless you explicitly opt in.
Stage 4 · v2.5
Coming soonHermite API
A cloud-hosted enterprise API exposing curve generation, motion presets, transcription, and caption cleanup as stateless endpoints — with MCP integration so AI agents can call Hermite as a tool. Cloud by design, clearly separated from the on-device product.
REST API
Easing-curve generation, motion-preset application, transcription-as-a-service, and AI caption cleanup as well-documented, stateless endpoints.
API keys & usage billing
API key auth with usage-based or seat-based enterprise plans, separate from the desktop app's consumer licensing.
Rate limiting & usage dashboards
Programmatic-load guardrails and visibility from day one.
MCP integration via Composio
Hermite registered as a Composio toolkit, so Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible agent can call it as tool calls.
Changelog
Latest from the build
Hermite Subs' on-device engine is alive: faster-whisper + Silero VAD behind a local service — model manager with disk/RAM requirements up front, async jobs, SRT/VTT export. Verified end-to-end; correction UI is next.
Stage 1 built: the .drfx preset pack (7 Fusion macros) and the desktop app's bezier curve editor that maps curves to exact Fusion keyframes, with the Resolve bridge script.
Hermite's site is live — full four-stage roadmap, docs preview for the enterprise API and MCP integration, built on the Clay design system.
The four-stage plan is committed after verifying Resolve's real constraints: .drfx packaging, free-vs-Studio scripting limits, and the bridge-script architecture proven by AutoSubs.
Repository seeded: fusion-macros, core, backend, api, app, and this site, each mapped to a stage of the plan.
