|
- type: fixed
|
|
text: "Media asset cards in the grid view were larger than their thumbnails, leaving empty space around each item. Cards now size to their content."
|
|
- type: improved
|
|
text: "Playback performance is dramatically better. The editor used to slow to a crawl during playback, and audio would stutter when interacting with elements mid-play. Both are fixed. Playback now runs at a consistent 60fps."
|
|
- type: fixed
|
|
text: "Project thumbnails now generate correctly even when the timeline is empty. If you set a background color or gradient with no clips, the thumbnail reflects that instead of staying blank."
|
|
- type: fixed
|
|
text: "Clicking a selected element no longer keeps the rest of the selection."
|
|
- type: improved
|
|
text: "More vertical space between timeline tracks. Selection outlines on adjacent tracks no longer overlap each other."
|
|
- type: fixed
|
|
text: "Track labels on the left side of the timeline were misaligned with the tracks on the right."
|
|
- type: improved
|
|
text: "Holding Shift or Ctrl while drag-selecting in the timeline now adds to your existing selection instead of replacing it. Matches how Shift/Ctrl+click already worked."
|
|
- type: improved
|
|
text: "Timeline track rows now highlight when they contain a selected element, making it easier to see which tracks are active at a glance."
|
|
- type: fixed
|
|
text: "Clicking in the empty space below timeline tracks now seeks the playhead."
|
|
- type: fixed
|
|
text: "Timeline vertical scroll now works anywhere in the panel, not just over the track labels. The header no longer scrolls with the tracks."
|
|
- type: new
|
|
text: "Scale now has separate width and height controls. You can stretch or squash elements independently on each axis."
|
|
- type: improved
|
|
text: "System fonts (Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman, and others) now appear in the font picker alongside Google Fonts."
|
|
- type: fixed
|
|
text: "MP4 exports with audio failed on Firefox. The export now completes successfully regardless of browser."
|
|
- type: improved
|
|
text: "Your projects can disappear if your disk runs low on space. OpenCut now asks the browser to protect them."
|
|
- type: fixed
|
|
text: "Opening the mask or effects panel for one element, then selecting a different element, would keep the wrong panel open and hide the transform handles for the new selection. Each element now remembers its own panel state independently."
|
|
- type: new
|
|
text: "Volume control for audio and video elements, both in the properties panel and inline on timeline clips."
|
|
- type: new
|
|
text: "Speed control for video and audio clips. Includes a maintain pitch option so audio doesn't chipmunk or deepen when you change the rate."
|
|
- type: improved
|
|
text: "Audio waveforms have gotten an upgrade. The old ones were inaccurate, prone to crashing, and not very useful. The new ones are RMS-based, properly scaled, and only render what's visible so they don't slow things down."
|
|
- type: improved
|
|
text: "The timeline now opens scrolled to the bottom, so your main video track is visible right away instead of being hidden above the fold."
|
|
- type: fixed
|
|
text: "Snap guides didn't show when moving a full-canvas element to the center of the frame."
|
|
- type: fixed
|
|
text: "The rotation handle could float above the editor UI when an element was near the top of the canvas. It now clips to the preview area."
|
|
- type: fixed
|
|
text: "Images with a blur effect at 0% intensity would disappear completely when a blurred background was also active. Now 0% blur correctly renders the image unchanged."
|
|
- type: fixed
|
|
text: "Section titles in the properties panel showed the wrong text color when the section wasn't collapsible. Non-collapsible titles now use the correct muted style."
|
|
- type: new
|
|
text: "Masks. Hide or reveal parts of any video or image layer. Choose from split, rectangle, ellipse, star, heart, diamond, text, and custom masks. Adjust position, size, rotation, feather, and stroke in the properties panel, or drag the handles in the preview."
|
|
- type: improved
|
|
text: "The settings panel has been redesigned with a cleaner layout and better organization."
|
|
- type: new
|
|
text: "Layout guides are back and expanded. TikTok was the only option before. Now includes a grid guide plus TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Snapchat Spotlight."
|
|
- type: new
|
|
text: "Canvas backgrounds are back. Set a blur, solid color, or gradient as the canvas background from the new Background tab in the settings panel."
|
|
- type: fixed
|
|
text: "Blur looked pixelated at higher intensities instead of producing a real blur. Both the canvas background blur and the blur effect are now fixed."
|
|
- type: new
|
|
text: "Custom canvas size. Instead of being locked to a handful of presets, you can now enter any width and height you want."
|
|
- type: new
|
|
text: "Preview zoom and panning. Zoom into the canvas to work on fine details, and pan around to navigate when zoomed in."
|
|
- type: new
|
|
text: "Stickers panel now has content. Browse and add logos, country flags, and shapes."
|
|
- type: improved
|
|
text: "You can now select multiple assets in the assets panel. Useful for deleting several at once."
|
|
- type: fixed
