Finally not Mac exclusive anymore. PoeysiaPRO goes Windows!

PoeysiaPRO is finally not Mac exclusive anymore. Today, it goes Windows.

Getting there was not a charming collection of little firsts. At several points I was much closer to setting the PC on fire than celebrating a button that finally worked.

CUDA dependencies were one of the main offenders. On paper, Windows has exactly the hardware acceleration a video app should love. In practice, getting the right pieces to agree with each other became a long tour through incompatible expectations, missing dependencies and the kind of error messages that make you question every decision that led to this project.

Then came the DLLs. Some were present but apparently not present enough. Some worked on one machine and disappeared on another. A build could look completely healthy until one native part of the workflow actually had to do its job. I now have more opinions about DLLs than any reasonable person should.

Network sockets added their own special category of pain. Communication that had been completely ordinary on macOS suddenly needed another round of attention on Windows. Nothing about it was interesting from a creator's perspective, but until it worked reliably, several important parts of PoeysiaPRO simply could not behave like one connected app.

The biggest job was Auto Framing. The existing native feature could not simply be carried across and told to behave. The Windows version needed a completely new native Auto Framer, built specifically for the platform. It still has the same purpose in the product: follow the people in a clip and keep the framing useful while the conversation changes. Underneath, it had to become its own Windows implementation.

That was also the best moment of the port: not the first click, but the first full clip where the new Auto Framer followed the scene correctly, subtitles stayed in sync and the finished video rendered the way it should. After all the dependencies, DLLs and sockets, that export finally proved the Windows version was real.

Windows users get the same core experience: bring in a podcast, interview, talk or webinar, find the strongest moments, review the Top 20, refine the clips and export locally. Free, Premium and Local AI remain the same ways into the product. The operating system changes. The idea behind PoeysiaPRO does not.

This is the first Windows release. There will be more machines, recordings and edge cases waiting for it. But the Mac-only answer is gone: PoeysiaPRO now runs on Windows.
