Initial CutScript release - Open-source AI-powered text-based video editor

CutScript is a local-first, Descript-like video editor where you edit video by editing text.
Delete a word from the transcript and it's cut from the video.

Features:
- Word-level transcription with WhisperX
- Text-based video editing with undo/redo
- AI filler word removal (Ollama/OpenAI/Claude)
- AI clip creation for shorts
- Waveform timeline with virtualized transcript
- FFmpeg stream-copy (fast) and re-encode (4K) export
- Caption burn-in and sidecar SRT generation
- Studio Sound audio enhancement (DeepFilterNet)
- Keyboard shortcuts (J/K/L, Space, Delete, Ctrl+Z/S/E)
- Encrypted API key storage
- Project save/load (.aive files)

Architecture:
- Electron + React + Tailwind (frontend)
- FastAPI + Python (backend)
- WhisperX for transcription
- FFmpeg for video processing
- Multi-provider AI support

Performance optimizations:
- RAF-throttled time updates
- Zustand selectors for granular subscriptions
- Dual-canvas waveform rendering
- Virtualized transcript with react-virtuoso

Built on top of DataAnts-AI/VideoTranscriber, completely rewritten as a desktop application.
