Changelog

Shortcut 1.2.1: the bar behaves like the Premiere toolbar when docked. A skinny dock gives one column with every icon reachable, a little wider gives two columns, a wide dock one row. The panel also no longer zooms by accident. Every other tool is unchanged.

Shortcut 1.2.0: two new Premiere Pro buttons. Paste image puts the image on your clipboard on the timeline at the playhead, filed under Shortcut > Pastes. Pitch fix puts Premiere's Pitch Shifter on every audio channel of a speed-changed clip, set to the inverse of the speed, stacking shifters when one is not enough. The bar wraps into rows when the icons do not fit, and the panel can no longer be zoomed by accident. Every other tool is unchanged.

The bar now behaves like Premiere's own toolbar when you dock it. A skinny dock gives one column with every icon reachable, a little wider gives two columns, wider still three, and a wide dock one row. Before, a narrow dock could hide most of the icons off the right edge, and the panel could end up a tall single column with the status line out of sight.

Also: the panel no longer zooms when Ctrl is held while the mouse wheel moves over it, which made every button look dead until Premiere was restarted.

Two new Premiere Pro buttons.

Paste image: copy an image anywhere, from a browser, a document or a file in Explorer or Finder, and click. It lands on the timeline at the playhead, on the track above whatever is under it, saved in a Shortcut Pastes folder beside your project and filed under Shortcut > Pastes. Shift holds it to the end of the clip under the playhead. A Settings toggle scales oversized images to fit the frame.

Pitch fix: select a clip you sped up or slowed down and click. Premiere's own Pitch Shifter goes on every audio channel, set to the exact inverse of the speed, so a 200% clip no longer sounds like a chipmunk and a 63% clip no longer sounds slowed. When one shifter is not enough the button stacks them and splits the correction evenly: 300% becomes two shifters at -9.5 semitones each. Click again after changing the speed. Shift resets.

Also: when the icons do not fit in one row the bar now wraps into rows with the status line directly under them, instead of turning into one tall column. The panel can no longer be zoomed by accident with Ctrl and the mouse wheel, which made every button look dead. And the After Effects screenshot falls back to a folder it can list on a Mac when the project is unsaved.

Filmit MCP in Premiere Pro: Claude can now change the settings of any effect on a clip (Lumetri Color, blurs, Transform, Crop, third-party plugins too) and animate them with keyframes, and it can read the keyframes a clip already has, so it works around your existing animation instead of over it. A change that would wipe existing keyframes is refused unless you ask for it. Every other tool is unchanged.

Filmit MCP: when Claude checks a frame from a large composition or sequence (4K and up), it now receives the whole image. Before this, Claude could see only the top part of the frame with black below it. In After Effects, checking the same frame time again now shows the current frame instead of an earlier one. Every other tool is unchanged.

More is free, and updating captions got smarter. Review is now free for everyone, and it also sits in the fold under Customize, so you can fix a word or retype a caption without leaving the main tab. A Language menu sits right under Transcribe (it is the same setting as the one in Settings), and new installs get a multilingual model, so other languages work without adding a model yourself; if you have the English model, choose More languages to download it. In Premiere Pro, the new Update selected button puts the style and any retyped words onto just the caption clips you select on the timeline, and Update all captions now fixes changed words in place, so captions you styled on their own keep their look. Caption Text is now the first control in the Properties panel and the data box is at the bottom (create the captions again to get the new order on a timeline you already captioned). Punctuation, Word timing and Caption length are now free to change, and a greyed setting in Customize tells you what unlocks it when you point at it. A size you set stays when you try other styles, and in Vertical 9:16 the safe margins fit the vertical picture.

Captions 1.0.2 is in. Review is now free for everyone and also sits under Customize on the main tab, so you can fix a word or retype a caption without leaving it. A Language menu sits right under Transcribe, and new installs get a multilingual model. In Premiere Pro, the new Update selected button restyles or rewords just the caption clips you select on the timeline, and Update all captions now fixes changed words in place, so captions you styled on their own keep their look. Caption Text is now the first control in the Properties panel. Punctuation, Word timing and Caption length are free to change, and a greyed setting tells you what unlocks it. Every other tool is unchanged.

Fixes Filmit panels that could not connect on some networks. If Connect in the MCP tab sat on waiting and then showed a timeout, or sign-in and downloads in a panel timed out while your browser worked fine, this update fixes it. Panels in Premiere Pro and After Effects now use the standard internet route first.

The preview sound no longer starts by itself. Until now it began playing as soon as captions were loaded, which included opening Premiere Pro or After Effects with the Captions panel already docked. Now nothing plays until you press Sound. Once you have switched it on it stays on while you work, and it is off again the next time the panel opens. The "Sound on by default" switch in Settings is gone.

Captions 1.0.0 is here: animated captions for Premiere Pro and After Effects. Transcribe on your own machine or start from a Premiere caption track, pick a style, and Create places one editable caption per line on a free track. In Premiere each caption is a Motion Graphics template you can adjust in Essential Graphics; in After Effects you get a Captions comp with one Caption Controls layer that restyles every caption. If a caption track has drifted out of step with the sound, Line up with the voice moves every caption, and every word, to where it is spoken. Change your mind later and Update all captions restyles them in place. Choose how many lines a caption has, where it sits, and its size, and watch the real look play in the panel before anything touches the timeline. Five styles are free to use, with your own font, colours and outline. The full library of 111 styles, saving more than one style of your own, Review (find doubtful words and fix a name everywhere at once) and Bulk (caption several sequences in one go) come with Filmit Studio.

Captions is in the Filmit Studio panel. It is the new animated captions tool for Premiere Pro and After Effects: open it from All Tools like every other tool. Five caption styles are free to use.

Sync 1.1.3 for Premiere Pro. Sync now reads the timecode that audio recorders store inside their WAV files, so a jam-synced camera and recorder line up by timecode and the Timecode option no longer switches off when audio is added. Timecode is cross-checked against the sound before anything is placed.

Sync 1.1.2 for Premiere Pro. Every clip is now compared with every recording, so an interview is no longer skipped because of a number shared between file names. Timecode, clocks and file names only decide what gets checked first.

Sync 1.1.3 reads timecode from audio recorders. Field recorders store their timecode inside the WAV file differently than cameras do, and Sync was not reading it, so the Timecode option switched itself off as soon as audio was added. Sync now reads it, so a camera and a recorder that were jam-synced line up by timecode, including one long recording that covers many clips. Timecode is cross-checked against the sound. When the two agree, the match is high confidence. If the timecode is off, or the devices were never jammed, the match from the audio stands. A silent clip can be placed by timecode alone once timecode has proven itself on that shoot.

Sync 1.1.2 makes matching thorough: every clip is now compared with every recording. Before, a number shared between file names could be read as a hint, and Sync stopped looking once every file had one. On shoots where camera clips and recorder files happened to share a number, whole interviews were never compared with their real recording and were left unsynced. Timecode, clocks and file names now only decide what gets checked first. A clip is only reported as unmatched after every check, waveform and speech, has run against every recording. Runs with a lot of B-roll can take a little longer in exchange. The “Compare every combination” setting now says exactly what it does, and the run log shows how many pairs were compared. On Windows, Sync also clears its old temporary audio files again.

J and L cuts: fixed audio drifting out of sync with picture on the clip after each cut.

Two new tabs.

Cut FX: the J/L cuts tab is now Cut FX, with J/L cuts and a new Crop cuts section. Crop cuts punches in on every other jump cut so a talking head reads as a second camera angle. Select the clips, pick a pattern (alternate, stepped or random), set how tight the punch-in is, and choose where it zooms toward: the centre, head height, or a point you set. Each punch-in can have its own size. The size is set through a Transform effect, so the clip's own Motion is never touched, and a Reset puts everything back. You are warned first when the footage has no spare resolution to punch in on.

Markers: one click adds a sequence marker on every clip whose effects differ from default, with what changed written in the comment: position, scale, rotation, crop, opacity, flips, speed and the names of the effects applied. Keyframed moves get a marker on the first and last keyframe (or every keyframe) with the value at that point. Motion, Opacity, Applied effects, Speed, Offline media and Gaps each have their own tick and marker colour, so the Markers panel can filter to one kind. Export the list with File → Export → Markers, or as a CSV from the tab. Remove takes only the markers Editor added and never your own. Built for turnovers to VFX, online and the lab, and for a quick QC pass. Works on long timelines without freezing the panel.

Help now covers every tab.

Editor 1.1.1 for Premiere Pro. J and L cuts: fixed audio drifting out of sync with picture on the clip after each cut.

Editor 1.1.0 for Premiere Pro. Two new tabs. Cut FX adds Crop cuts: punch in on every other jump cut so a talking head reads as a second camera, with patterns, your own sizes and a zoom point, all through a Transform effect so the clip’s own Motion is never touched. Markers adds a sequence marker on every clip whose effects differ from default, with what changed written in the comment, plus markers on keyframes with the value there; choose a colour for each kind (motion, opacity, effects, speed, offline media, gaps), export the list, and remove only the markers Editor added. Help now covers every Editor tab.

Filmit MCP now follows the Filmit account you are signed in to. If you switch accounts in Filmit Studio, this computer is linked to the new account on its own, so Claude finds DaVinci Resolve again without any setup. The MCP tab also shows which account this computer is linked as, so you know which one to sign in with in Claude.

RoughCut: Interview and Cut-down modes are paused while we finish testing them. Your projects open in Story mode and nothing you saved is lost. RoughCut and JumpCut also get a more reliable first-run download of their engines.

Makes the first-run ffmpeg download more reliable.

Filmit Studio 1.0.49 asks once, after you sign in, whether it may collect basic usage data, and the same choice covers every Filmit plugin. Analytics stay off until you say yes and can be changed any time in Settings under Privacy. Studio, the Filmit panel and every plugin now keep a small diagnostics log on your computer that is never sent unless you attach it to a bug report. The Terms, Privacy Policy and EULA are updated, and everyone accepts the Terms once on next launch. Licence tokens renew themselves, so a tool that has not seen Studio in a while no longer asks you to sign in again.

GridMaker: fixes grid cells overlapping on footage whose file carries a non-square pixel aspect flag (the 2x2 crop bug). GridMaker now measures the frame Resolve renders instead of trusting the flag. Everything else is unchanged from 0.1.24.

Filmit Studio for DaVinci Resolve now carries every Filmit tool: RoughCut, Sync, JumpCut, Organizer, GIFer, Sourcer, and nine new ports, Editor, TextPilot, EXpress, GridMaker, Mapper, Slideshow, ChitChat, Credits and BRoll, each as a tab in one Workflow Integration. Filmit MCP arrives too: switch it on in the MCP tab, press Connect, and Claude can work on your Resolve timeline with you. Every tool keeps a small diagnostics log on your computer and, only if you have turned analytics on in Filmit Studio, reports which actions finished or failed. Licence tokens now renew themselves.

Filmit MCP arrives in the panel: switch it on, press Connect, and Claude (with more assistants on the way) can work in Premiere Pro and After Effects with you.

Licence tokens now renew themselves, so a tool that has not seen Filmit Studio in a while no longer asks you to sign in again.

Fixes grid cells overlapping on footage whose file carries a non-square pixel aspect flag (the 2x2 crop bug). GridMaker now measures the frame Resolve renders instead of trusting the flag.

First release for DaVinci Resolve. Split screens, video walls and mosaics built straight onto your timeline from the clips you pick.

First release for DaVinci Resolve. Scan every Text+ title and caption in your project, then edit, translate and spell-check them in one place.

Fixes analysis failing at the end with a "reading get" error in DaVinci Resolve. Sync 1.0.4 for Resolve shipped without its settings file, so results could not be shown and the settings gear did nothing. Both work again, and Settings now has a Log section where you can copy or save a record of each run to send to us.

Sync 1.1.1 fixes two things found on a two-camera interview shoot. Sync now analyses the exact clip you added to it. If your project also holds short selects cut from the same camera file, an earlier version could pick one of those instead and read a 16-minute take as a few seconds, so a second camera angle never matched. Matching is stricter on short clips: a few seconds of B-roll can look like it fits somewhere in a long recording, so Sync now needs one spot to clearly stand out before it places a short clip, and sends it to Review otherwise. A long take that locks firmly all the way through now counts as a high-confidence match and keeps its recording ahead of shorter clips. A recording you pick by hand in Review is locked in. And once everything is built you can create the sequences again, from the main button or from Review, without re-running the analysis.

Sync 1.1.0 adds Review, a new screen where you can check every match before anything is built. Pick a clip and see its camera audio and the recorder audio as waveform lanes, one per channel, with mute and solo on each. Press play to hear them together, grab the playhead to scrub, and if a match is slightly off, select the recording and slide it frame by frame, with Reset to put it back. Multi-camera takes show every camera and every recording of that sequence together. Mark matches Good or Wrong, then create one sequence or all of them right from Review. Matching is smarter too: a recorder folder with one file per mic is now treated as one recording, long interviews score properly, two clips from the same camera can no longer be stacked as a fake multicam, and oversized scenes are held back instead of built. The new Auto setting places strong matches plus each clip's best remaining match. Clips with a built-in head offset, such as RED, now land exactly in place, camera audio stays linked to its picture, and running the same footage again is faster because earlier analysis is reused. The home screen now fills the panel at any size, Analyze turns green when it finishes, and Settings, Log can save a bug report for us.

New run log in Settings. Sync now keeps a plain-text record of every run: what you loaded, how each clip was matched and what was built. Open Settings, go to Log, then hit Copy log or Save to send it to us. If a sync ever looks wrong, we can see exactly what happened on your footage and get you a fix faster.

The script is the truth. Editor now checks every transcript against the audio before you reach Cuts: words the transcription heard in silence are dropped, and passages it skipped (restarts, stutters) are re-read on their own and put back at their true time, so every attempt shows in the script and the repeated-takes pass strikes the right one. Speech that still is not in the script is marked "Not in script" and removed by default; click a chip to keep it.

AI takes: every abandoned take the AI proposes is checked a second time with its surrounding context before it is struck. Real content that only shares words with what follows (a comparison, a callback, an aside while something loads) stays in; anything the AI is unsure about becomes a question you decide on. Cuts start and end on sentence boundaries. The Log lists what was confirmed, dropped, or turned into a question.

Export script: the .rtf now uses the same colour key as the Cuts tab, with your colours from Settings, a legend of what the export uses, ✦ and ? markers on AI notes, and strike-through only when Cross out is on.

J/L cuts: "Apply to" now offers the selected clips (their in and out cuts), only the cuts between two selected clips, or every edit point. Pick four clips out of a hundred and only their cuts move. Runs in seconds on long timelines.

Silences and Breaths passes moved behind Settings → Experimental while they are tuned; running the raw media through JumpCut first gives a cleaner script.

Under the hood: Editor's sequence engine is now namespaced so it can never collide with RoughCut's when both panels are open.

EXpress 2.0.0 is a new panel: a click-to-apply animation library for After Effects and Premiere Pro, in one install.

Text presets (After Effects): 47 presets in 17 families, expanded into more than 130 ready-made cards for each unit (230 for characters, 224 for words, 131 for lines). Fade, slide, scale, rotate, tracking, blur, skew, typewriter, decode, wild scatter, 3D, depth of field and fly-from-camera. Apply per character, word or line, in, out or both, from any direction including diagonals, with Smooth, Linear, Ease In, Ease Out, Overshoot, Bounce and Elastic timing. Every preview plays the exact curve After Effects gets, on the Filmit Studio wordmark.

Motion presets (After Effects and Premiere Pro): 53 presets in After Effects and 49 in Premiere Pro, built from nine ingredients (Fade, Slide, Drift, Scale Up, Grow, Shrink, Spin, Twist and Tilt) in every valid combination, plus four 3D flips and dolly moves in After Effects only. Slides always start fully off screen, whatever the comp or sequence size. In Premiere, motion presets bake to keyframes on the clip and can add motion blur through the Transform effect.

Expressions (After Effects): the 108-template library with live previews of every template and right-click to apply.

Everything is editable afterwards. In After Effects, presets build native text animators and effect controls you can retime and adjust; in Premiere they are ordinary keyframes.

Quick apply: set what click, right-click, shift, ctrl and alt do on any card. Card size buttons and preview playback settings keep large libraries fast.

Free tier: without an EXpress licence you keep a starter set of presets (Fade, Slide, Fade Slide, Scale Up, Scale Down, Pop and Typewriter for text, and five motion presets) and 25 expressions. Everything else shows a lock and opens the upgrade card; a licence unlocks it all without reopening the panel.

Three more tools in the Filmit Studio panel: Mapper is new for Premiere Pro and After Effects, and Slideshow and EXpress now open their Premiere Pro panels from the hub as well as their After Effects ones. EXpress 2.0 arrives with text and motion presets and a free tier built in.

Mapper 1.0.0 is here: animated travel maps for After Effects and Premiere Pro. Search your stops or paste coordinates, pick how each leg travels (Drive, Walk and Cycle follow real streets, Fly arcs between cities), choose one of 14 map styles from Classic and Tactical to Expedition and Holiday, set the camera and timing, and build. In After Effects you get a native, editable comp with the route on a shape layer and a Mapper Controls layer. In Premiere Pro the animation renders straight onto your timeline at the playhead. Save your own style and motion presets, and take any element off the map, so a plane can fly with no line at all.

Right-click any file in the Files tab to show it in Explorer or reveal it in Finder, with the file already selected. In folder view, right-click a folder to open it. Sort Preview now shows only the bins a sort will actually create, instead of listing every folder in your layout as a new bin.

Slideshow now works in Premiere Pro. Pick a bin, add photos straight from your Project panel, or choose a folder on disk, and Slideshow builds a finished sequence with the same looks, motion and transitions you know from After Effects. Mix several bins in one slideshow, set the clip order (name, date or shuffle), and build a new sequence or drop the slideshow into the one you have open, on the tracks you pick. Wide photos stay clean during pushes and zooms, files you already imported are reused instead of imported twice, and everything lands as normal Premiere clips and keyframes you can keep editing. One install covers After Effects and Premiere Pro.

ChitChat now works in Premiere Pro. The same install lights up both apps: build your conversation in the panel, pick a style, and in Premiere hit Render to Timeline. ChitChat renders the conversation you see in the preview, frame for frame, as a clip on your timeline at the playhead, with an optional transparent background so it sits over your footage. Animated GIFs play in the render, reactions and typing indicators animate, and you can give each speaker a profile photo from the Style tab. After Effects users get the same panel they had, with the iPhone status bar refreshed and a fix for reactions in the text-style looks (Terminal, Pager, VS Code).

Credits now works in Premiere Pro. The same install lights up both apps and shares your saved rolls, so a roll built in After Effects shows up in Premiere and vice versa. In Premiere, Generate Credits renders the roll you see in the preview, frame for frame, and places it on your timeline at the playhead as one clip, with a transparent background so it sits over your footage. A new Render section on the Style tab sets the size, frame rate and quality, defaulting to your sequence settings. After Effects users get the same panel they had.

Editor is your assistant editor inside Premiere Pro.

Cuts: transcribe a sequence on your machine (nothing is uploaded), then clean it in one pass. Tick what to remove: silences, breaths, filler words, profanity (bleep with a tone or your own sound, mute, or cut), and repeated takes. Review every change in the script before anything is built; click a mark to keep it, select words to cut them yourself, bring words back inside any cut. Builds a new sequence next to the original, filed under Editor/Cuts.

AI takes: optionally let Claude or ChatGPT read the script to find abandoned takes and judge the rule's cuts. Uses your own key from Settings, or export the script and import the plan from your regular chat. Text only, never audio.

Switcher: stacked camera angles on V1, V2, V3 are cut between automatically with random-length holds, in place on your sequence or only inside the clips you select. Audio is never touched. A backup copy is kept.

J/L cuts: roll the audio cut at every edit point between the clips you select, J or L or alternating, with an optional crossfade. Works on butted clips and on checkerboarded audio.

Audio: loudness-normalize or denoise the sequence mix onto the track you choose.

Sequencer: turn selected clips or sequences into their own sequences at every size you tick, from 9:16 to 8K, filed one folder per batch.

Settings holds the word lists per language, colours for every kind of mark, and the activity log.

The Filmit Studio panel now shows which tools are running. A green dot marks every open tool, hover a row for an X that closes it (right-click works too), and once several are open a Close all pill appears at the bottom with the memory it frees. Settings has a new Keep open list for tools that should survive Close all. Editor joins the catalog for Premiere Pro, and Credits and ChitChat now open their Premiere panels from the hub.

GIF previews now start paused. Every tile shows its first frame and plays only while you hover, so a docked GIFer no longer decodes 24 animations in the background while you edit. A play button next to the size control turns all previews on again if you prefer them moving, and the choice is remembered. Settings and Help now use the shared Filmit layout you know from the other tools.

New Files tab: see every media file your project uses on disk, spot what lives outside your project folder, and relocate files into it without breaking links. Bin mode sorts a single selected bin instead of the whole project. Sort preview shows what auto-sort would do before it touches anything, and it is much faster on large projects. Premiere settings moved into the shared Filmit Settings layout.

Three new buttons and a rebuilt multicam workflow.

Layer down (Premiere): select footage on any tracks and drop it onto the lowest selected track, overwriting what it hides, so B-roll stacked on V3 and V4 becomes one clean track. Scale, position and opacity come along. Adjustment layers are never moved; they are cut around the moved clips so their grades stay where they belong. Shift forces everything down and strips effects for a conform hand-off, after a warning you can switch off in Settings. Ctrl previews without changing anything.

Close others (Premiere and After Effects): keeps the sequence or comp you are on and closes every other tab. Shift closes them all.

Colour matte (Premiere): a black colour matte sized to the selection, one per clip with Shift.

Staircase and Un-staircase were rebuilt for real multicam shoots. Recorder files go to A1 onward, each camera keeps its channels together, and Synchronize works on the result. Un-staircase packs everything back down, cuts the recorder files to where video exists and closes every gap, so the synced block runs end to end. Both extras can be switched off in Settings. Clips that overlap by a frame from sync rounding are trimmed to butt instead of climbing a track.

Everything Shortcut creates now lives in one Shortcut bin: Holds for freeze stills, Segments for Layer down copies, Layers for adjustment layers and mattes.

Also fixed: freeze frames could overwrite clips to the right of the hold; clearing QC markers could remove a marker of your own that started with QC; the After Effects screenshot removed items from your render queue; Loop ate a frame each time it was re-applied; and RED and other clips whose size Premiere did not report are now read correctly.

BRoll now sets itself up, tells you what it is doing, and speaks your language. On a machine that had never run RoughCut, Add B-Roll and Export for Claude appeared to do nothing: BRoll needed a local audio and transcription engine it never downloaded, and the reason only ever reached the hidden log. It now fetches that engine itself the first time it needs it, about 1.6 GB shared with RoughCut, with a banner and a progress bar instead of silence. Export for Claude and ChatGPT saves a real .txt file to your Downloads and opens the folder, rather than only copying to the clipboard, and you can choose where exports land in Settings. Every run now finishes on screen, green when it worked and red with the reason when it did not, so a run can no longer fail invisibly. Choosing a video track that was not on your timeline used to run the whole analysis and then quietly place nothing; the track list now shows only the tracks your sequence actually has, offers to add a new one, and checks your choice before any work starts. New spoken-language setting: BRoll transcribed everything as English, so a Spanish or French sequence produced a nonsense transcript and B-roll matched against nonsense. Pick your language, or let it detect, and your clip names and tags come back in that language too.

Premiere Pro: layouts can now be keyframed. Turn on Keyframe at playhead, apply a layout, move the playhead, apply another, and the cells animate between them, so a full frame can become a split screen and change size over time. Clips that already have keyframes get a new keyframe at the playhead instead of being skipped, and the canvas reads keyframed clips at the playhead in Update mode.

Search your sequences: the Add from your project picker now has a search box, so a project with dozens of sequences is easy to pick from. Your ticks survive filtering. Listen to the right tracks: each source card has an Audio pill that opens one tick-box per audio track. Untick music, room tone or a second mic and only the ticked tracks feed the transcription. Everything starts ticked, so nothing changes unless you want it to.

Better names, much faster analysis, and a way to tell BRoll what it is looking at. Camera-RAW frames were being un-squeezed by the wrong factor on anamorphic footage, which flattened every RED thumbnail and led to wrong clip names; fixed, and the frames Premiere grabs are now 720p-class instead of full resolution, so a 400-clip RED library analyzes in about 40 minutes instead of 3 hours and no longer leaves gigabytes of frames behind. New "Tell the AI about this footage" note on the Organize and Add tabs: one optional line ("restaurant shoot: bar, kitchen, staff") that guides both clip naming and B-roll placement; change it and the clips re-name. Naming also gets larger, contrast-corrected frames and a cleaner prompt, so dark or flat log footage reads correctly. Search thumbnails are sharper, grid view gains the Bin button beside the star, Refresh resets the panel in place, and the duplicate check no longer needs anything installed. The analysis engine updates itself on first use after this release.

Fixes text import in Premiere Pro and After Effects. When you exported your text as TXT, CSV, Excel or JSON, edited it, and imported it back, only some layers were updated. Repeated MOGRT clips and captions share the same name, and the importer only ever updated the first one it found. Import now matches every exported row back to its own layer, so every line you changed comes through. This also applies to the bulk paste and multi-language import.

Meet BRoll, your assistant editor for footage. Point it at your bins and it watches every clip locally, listens to your sequence, and lays real, editable B-roll onto your timeline, matched to what is being said or cut to the beat of your music. Dialogue mode places at the sentence or the exact word; Music mode beat-maps your song and cuts gaplessly, with pacing that rises with the energy. RED and Blackmagic RAW analyze through Premiere itself, coverage is yours to dial from a few strong matches to wall-to-wall, and every placement comes with a Review card: the quote, the frame, the why, one-click Jump and re-roll. Your library becomes searchable by meaning ("someone celebrating" works untagged), clips get real names that keep their camera shot ids, and one undo clears any run. Everything heavy runs on your machine; your footage never uploads. No API key? The free Export to Claude/ChatGPT loop does the same job with any chatbot.

BRoll joins the panel. The new AI B-roll assistant for Premiere Pro is now on your tools list with its own card and one-click Open: it watches your footage, matches clips to your dialogue or cuts them to your music, and places real, editable B-roll on your timeline. Included in your plan.

Separate interviews now stay separate. Sync checks every match against the others before building, so a shared opening line or the same interviewer in every take can no longer pull six interviews into one sequence. Each interview gets its own synced sequence, multi-camera takes still stack, and the master timeline lays them out in shooting order. Matches that overlap a stronger one are held for review with a plain reason instead of being placed silently. Camera audio stays under the synced recorder, and the recorder tracks come in soloed. Analysis is faster on big bins because each recording is decoded once.

Matches that overlap a stronger one are held for review with a plain reason instead of being placed silently. Analysis is faster on big bins because each recording is decoded once.

GridMaker now shows up in the panel inside Premiere Pro. Launch or install it straight from the Tools grid, just like in After Effects.

Premiere Pro: RAW footage such as RED or BRAW now previews on demand. A Snapshot button appears when RAW clips are selected and renders the current playhead frames through Premiere, so the canvas never interrupts your work with automatic renders. Thumbnails for regular footage now wait while your sequence is playing and refresh once when you pause, and cells keep their last preview while you scrub.

GridMaker now works in Premiere Pro. The same install adds a GridMaker panel to Premiere with a live canvas: select clips on your timeline, pick a layout, and see real frames from your footage arranged in the grid before you apply. Split one clip into stacked cells, perfect for turning a two person podcast recording into a vertical stack, or grid clips across tracks for split screens. Drag footage inside any cell to reframe it, scroll to zoom, letterbox with Fit, swap cells, and add padding with even gutters. Design your own layouts in Edit mode with snapping and corner handles, save them as presets, and star your favorites. Everything applied is native Motion and Crop, fully editable in Effect Controls, and RED and other RAW footage previews render through Premiere automatically. The After Effects version is unchanged.

Staircase now handles text and graphic clips properly. Premiere doesn't let scripts move text or graphics between tracks, so previously each one failed with a confusing "original not found" error. Now a mixed selection staircases your footage and simply leaves text where it is, and if you select only text or graphics, Shortcut tells you plainly instead of erroring clip by clip.

Fixes a bug that could delete clips: adding an adjustment layer over a short selection could overwrite whatever sat to the right of it on the track above, without warning. The layer is now trimmed to your selection before it is placed. NEW: adjustment layers create themselves. If your project has no adjustment layer, Shortcut adds one for you instead of asking you to make one first, so the button always works. NEW: Colour matte button (Premiere) — a black matte sized to your selection, Shift for one per clip. Double-click the matte in your project panel to change its colour.

Simpler sign-in: enter your email and password and you are in. No more emailed 6-digit code, and the form no longer resets if you switch to another app mid sign-in.

A cleaner tool list: each row opens its tool directly, roadmap badges stay tidy in narrow panels, and update badges clear themselves as soon as you update.

Works in every Adobe interface language.

• Adjustment Layer: the button did nothing unless Premiere Pro or After Effects was running in English. Shortcut recognised adjustment layers by their English name only, so on a Portuguese, German, Japanese (or any other localised) install it could not see the layer in your project — and asked you to create one you already had. It now knows the name in all ten languages Adobe ships.
• Bypass Effects: on localised installs it could switch off Motion and Opacity along with your effects. It now tells built-in properties from real effects in a way that does not depend on language.
• Adjustment layers are matched to your sequence size more reliably on localised projects.

A small one, and another that came out of your feedback. Premiere gives plugins no way to create an adjustment layer, so Shortcut works from one that already lives in your project. If you did not have one yet, clicking the button quietly did nothing and left you guessing. Now it tells you on screen, and points you straight at Project > New Item > Adjustment Layer. Make it once and Shortcut reuses it from then on.

This one comes straight from your bug reports, so thank you for those. Un-nest no longer brings back audio you had already deleted inside the nest, so your timeline comes out the way you left it. Adjustment layers now match your sequence, which means effects cover the whole frame on 4K and vertical timelines instead of only part of it, and if the only adjustment layer in your project is the wrong size we scale it to fit for you. Status messages are quieter too, so the bar stays out of your way. One we cannot win: Premiere does not let plugins set clip label colours, so un-nest cannot carry them over, and the panel now tells you that instead of leaving you guessing. Keep the reports coming, they are what shapes this.

Fixed: Filmit FX and Transitions could show a License Required watermark for licensed users until the Filmit Studio desktop app was reopened. The panel now keeps your license active automatically while you edit.

One Workflow Integration containing every Filmit DaVinci tool.

Shortcut 1.0.0: free one-click timeline shortcuts, 11 buttons across Premiere Pro and After Effects.

ColorMaster 1.1.1: plays perfectly with color rigs you have already built! If your project has its own color controller with expressions, ColorMaster now works right on top of it. Your controls show up as swatches, linking takes over cleanly, and Unlink or Clear CM hands everything back exactly the way you built it. Also new: Tint colors and adjustment layer fills are now detected, big projects feel much snappier (Apply All is one click and swatch selection is instant), unlinking keeps colors looking the way they do now while Clear CM restores your originals, a tidier color History, and clearer buttons throughout. Happy coloring!

ColorMaster 1.1.0: full production release. All your colors now live in a ColorMaster Controls comp with a live swatch grid. Two-way sync picks up edits made directly in After Effects. Color history with one-click restore. Palette suite: save your project colors as a palette, build custom palettes, retheme entire projects, import and export palette files. Merge and unmerge color groups, shift-click range selection, rebuilt text color engine, and many stability fixes.

Filmit Studio panel 1.0.3: ColorMaster is now live in the catalog. Open or install it straight from the panel.

Build engine accuracy improvements, including for projects that mix frame rates on the source timeline.

Sync 1.0.2 is a big reliability upgrade — please update! Long sessions now sync the way you'd expect: Sync reads your entire recording when matching, so clips that belong deep into an hour-long audio file lock in just as reliably as the first take — even against mixdowns with music beds or heavy processing. Real matches now land on the timeline instead of sitting in review, whole shoots assemble into one scene against your master audio, and analysis is faster on clean footage. Results are clearer too: each match shows its strength, and anything Sync holds back tells you why. If you find a new bug, let us know and we'll fix it. Thanks, everyone!

Reliability update: ChitChat now automatically restores its connection to the host app if another third-party extension disrupts it — previously this could require closing and reopening the panel. No other changes.

Adding GIFs to your chats just got a whole lot easier! ChitChat now comes with a built-in GIF library, so there's nothing to set up — just open the GIF picker, search, and drop one in. Prefer GIPHY? You can switch providers anytime in Settings and add your own free GIPHY key (we link you to a quick how-to guide). We also added smooth infinite scrolling so you can keep browsing for the perfect reaction, tidied up the Settings screen with the app version now shown under About, and fixed an issue where GIF thumbnails could overlap while scrolling. As always, every GIF drops straight into your comp as a native, editable After Effects layer. Happy animating!

Reliability update: the panel now automatically restores its connection to Premiere Pro / After Effects if another third-party extension disrupts it — previously this could require closing and reopening the panel. Update recommended for all users.

Effects and transitions now always apply to the exact clip you have selected in your Premiere Pro timeline. Update recommended for all users.

🎉 GIFs with zero setup! KLIPY is now built right into GIFer — instantly search and add GIFs, Stickers, and Clips with no API key needed. Still love GIPHY? It's optional now — just add your free key in Settings. Plus a smoother, faster browsing experience throughout.

A major ChitChat update. Create realistic text and chat animations across a huge range of styles: iMessage, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Discord, Slack, Telegram, Snapchat, Tinder, Android, Retro Nokia, Pager, Terminal, VS Code, and cinematic movie captions. New in this release: tapback and emoji reactions rendered as real emoji art, drop-in profile pictures, animated typing indicators, read receipts, media cards with an optional retro terminal look, an in-panel live preview, and a docked Advanced window. Everything exports as native, editable After Effects layers.

ChitChat joins the toolkit. Build realistic text-message and chat animations, iMessage, WhatsApp, Discord and more, right from the panel. Open it from My Tools or grab it in one click.

Previews now load instantly, everywhere. All effect and transition previews ship inside the panel, so they play from your machine with no internet needed.

• Every preview video and thumbnail is now bundled locally: instant playback, works offline, works on restricted networks
• Transitions: left-click a card to add it at the start of your selected clip, right-click for the end
• New collapsible how-to guides on the Effects and Transitions tabs
• Clearer flow when a tool isn't installed yet: the panel points you to the Filmit Studio app and reminds you to restart your editor
• Tools now sit on their own cards, with better separation in Light mode
• Fixed the account badge overflowing on narrow panels

Thanks to the community for the feedback that shaped this release.

Filmit Studio comes to your editor. Every Filmit tool inside Premiere Pro and After Effects — one panel, one click.

• Launch any installed Filmit tool straight from the panel
• Browse effects and transitions with live video previews
• Apply an effect to your selected clip, or drop a transition on the cut, in one click
• Favorites, pinning, and search to keep your most-used tools on top
• Mini mode: dock it thin and it stays useful
• After installing, restart your editor and open Window → Extensions → Filmit Studio

Layout fix: the docked panel now always stacks vertically (simulation below the controls). The two-column wide view is exclusive to Advanced Mode.

Fixes a macOS issue where the panel could not connect to After Effects or Premiere Pro, which blocked sorting and folder actions. Windows installs were not affected. No action needed, the update applies automatically.

Transcribe in 28 languages, not just English. Pick your language in Settings (gear), or let Auto-detect work it out. English stays the default, so nothing changes unless you want it to.

Heads up: this upgrades the transcription model, so the first run downloads about 1.5 GB. It is a one-time download, it still runs entirely on your machine, and nothing is uploaded.

Insert now behaves like a real insert. Inserting a quote from All quotes pushes the whole timeline down and cuts cleanly through every track, instead of landing on top of what was already there.

Also: optional Section buffers, which leave a gap of empty timeline between sections when a cut is built, so you can see where each one starts (Settings, or per cut in the build bar). Plus tidier, Premiere-native scrollbars.

Sync 1.0.1 makes multicam effortless. Every camera angle of a take now stacks onto its own video track, lined up under one clean recording, even when a second or third camera has faint on-camera audio. Long interviews and full-day shoots are far more reliable: Sync reads the entire clip when matching, so takes that start rolling before the action still lock in. New in Settings, choose how confident a match has to be before Sync places it, from rock-solid only to everything. Analyze now runs without interrupting prompts, and the panel has cleaner scrollbars throughout.

First release! Gravity adds real 2D physics to After Effects: pick a playground scene (pinball, wrecking ball, block city, dominoes…) or snapshot your own comp, tune gravity presets from Moon to Jupiter, make objects bouncy, sticky, slingshot-launched or self-propelled, then bake the exact run you watched into pure Position + Rotation keyframes.

Sync launches for Premiere Pro. Drop in your camera bins and recorder files, and Sync matches every clip with timecode, dialogue, and waveform analysis, stacks your multicam angles into scene sequences, keeps every camera audio track, and builds a master timeline of the whole shoot. Everything runs on your machine, nothing is uploaded.

Sync launches for DaVinci Resolve. Drop in your Media Pool bins and recorder files, and Sync matches every clip with timecode, dialogue, and waveform analysis, stacks your multicam angles into scene timelines, keeps every camera audio track, and builds a master timeline of the whole shoot. Everything runs on your machine, nothing is uploaded.

New: untouchable bins. Lock any bin in the Layout tab (or list names in Settings) and Organizer leaves it completely alone. The Filmit layout now ships RoughCut, JumpCut and Sync as locked bins, plus A/B/C/D Cam sorting for camera originals and dedicated MOV and MP4 bins.

First DaVinci Resolve release — bin layout presets with the full editor, Sort by Type, Flatten Empty Bins, auto-sort new imports, watch folders with a pickable destination, and untouchable bins (JumpCut, RoughCut and Sync ship locked).

Transcription now sets up its audio engine automatically on first use (fixes "ffmpeg exit -2" on Mac), plus stability and workflow improvements: cleaner story board editing, frame-exact cuts, and quote library upgrades.

Synced to current davinci source.

DaVinci parity with Premiere. All-quotes now has a search box + a Tags filter row (search every quote, filter by section tag). All-quotes ⊕ Insert now stacks the quote on fresh video+audio tracks added above your current footage, dropped right at the playhead, so you can cut and slide it into place (Resolve scripting cannot overwrite in-place like Premiere).

Organizer now works in Premiere Pro as well as After Effects — one install, both apps. Plus watch folders, bin/folder auto-sort by media type, and Collect & Organize project export.

TextPilot now works inside Premiere Pro! This update adds a full TextPilot panel to Premiere (Window > Extensions > TextPilot after updating and restarting Premiere) alongside your existing After Effects panel. Scan every MOGRT, text layer, and caption in your project, then edit, find & replace, translate, spell-check, or bulk-update them — including one-click translation of entire caption tracks. Your existing TextPilot license covers both apps automatically. After Effects also gets two small improvements: a Jump button on translate results, and the Bulk view now updates instantly when you change the composition filter.

JumpCut for DaVinci Resolve — first customer release: silence removal with waveform preview, track selection, cut modes, and the Auto-Switcher (beta) for multicam, all built into new non-destructive timelines.

First release. RoughCut transcribes your interviews locally with Whisper, uses AI to assemble the strongest quotes into a story, and builds a real, editable multi-source sequence you can keep cutting. Works with your own Anthropic or OpenAI key, or with no key required.

JumpCut 2.0 — Auto-Switcher (Beta) + smarter, safer cutting.

NEW: Video mode — automatic multicam switching (Beta). Assign each camera to its speaker's audio track and JumpCut cuts to whoever's talking: analyze, preview the switch plan on a colored timeline lane, then apply. Includes Min Shot pacing, Noise Floor with live preview, Cutaway Speaker, per-camera Ignore for overlay/graphic tracks, and an optional Hide Jump Cuts mode that cuts away to another angle instead of showing a visible jump.

NEW: Analyzes any footage — camera files with embedded audio (including 2GB+ recordings from Riverside and similar) now analyze reliably via a one-time audio-engine download.

IMPROVED: Advanced mode is now the default cut mode — razor, delete, and close-gap with verified results on every kind of timeline. Fast mode remains available and now checks its own work: if your footage leaves gaps, it tells you and points you to Advanced.

IMPROVED: Close Gap is verified after every run (and respects intentional gaps on overlay/banner tracks). Clear guidance if anything needs a manual finish.

IMPROVED: The "open a sequence" screen now dismisses automatically, live progress during speaker analysis, and clearer stay-in-Premiere guidance during Advanced cuts.

GridMaker Advanced just got its biggest update ever.

Six brand new layout modes:

• Charts: pie, donut, bar, funnel, sunburst, and line charts from your footage
• Fracture: shatter clips into sharp glass shards
• Pack: tightly packed circles of clips
• Jigsaw: interlocking puzzle pieces
• Text Fill: pour footage straight into your letters, using your full installed font library
• Camera: fly a virtual camera across a grid of clips, zooming and panning from shot to shot

Plus a lot more to play with:

• Composer: open it on any mode for a shelf of premade looks and a one click Randomizer
• Single Image: slice one photo across every piece so it reassembles into the whole picture and stays locked through the move
• Faster renders: switch off Precomp Boxes to build lightweight flat layers instead of precomps
• Plenty of polish on timing, easing, corners, and the live preview

Same workflow you love: design it in a live preview that matches the render, then build it in After Effects with one click. Enjoy!

Slideshow is here.

Turn a folder of photos or clips into a polished animated slideshow, built right in After Effects. Start from a template or your own selected layers, set your aspect ratio and resolution, dial in motion, transitions and timing, then create a fully keyframed comp with every slide precomped and ready to customize.

This first release includes:

• Templates: Classic, Modern, Energetic, Cinematic, Reel, Pop, Bounce, Drift
• Aspect ratio and resolution presets, including HD, 4K and cinematic ratios
• Motion with adjustable amount
• Transitions: cut, cross dissolve, slide, zoom punch, blur dissolve and wipe mattes
• Per slide and total timing controls
• Image fit options: fill frame, fit frame, no scaling
• Build from a folder of media, or match your selected layers in a composition

TextPilot 1.2.0. A major update for managing and translating text.

New in Translate

• Export every language to CSV, Excel, or TXT so a native speaker can review them, then import the edits back in.
• A do-not-translate glossary keeps brand and product names untouched during translation.

New in Search and Spell

• Search now lists every matching layer as a card you can jump straight to.
• Spell check lets you jump to a flagged layer, apply fixes one at a time, and add words to your own dictionary so they stop being flagged.

New in Fonts and Export

• Replace a font by picking from your full installed font library, or by typing the exact name.
• Export and import bulk text and translations as CSV, Excel, JSON, or TXT.

Fixed

• The Original button in Translate now reliably switches back to your source language.

Your projects and settings carry over. No action needed.

GridMaker 2.1 introduces Tessellate, a brand new way to build in Advanced Mode.

Fill your frame with interlocking tiles in hexagon, triangle, diamond, or square layouts, then drop your footage into every tile. Set the density, gap, and corner rounding, turn individual tiles into spacers or remove them, and on square layouts drag any tile to resize it while the rest reflow around it.

Animate the whole pattern in and out with the styles you already know, including fade, scale, pop, slide, flip, and 3D zoom. Set the total in and out time on the timeline and the tiles auto stagger to fit.

Create a new comp or apply the pattern straight to your selected footage, then drive the finished tessellation from one control null with live Gap and Corners sliders.

This release also fixes fade in and fade out so they write clean, correct keyframes everywhere in Advanced Mode, makes a slide out exit toward the same edge it slid in from, and adds preview and timing polish so the live preview matches the rendered result even more closely.

Everything from classic GridMaker and the rest of Advanced Mode still works exactly as before.

GridMaker 2.0.2

Fixes and polish across Advanced Mode and the classic panel.

Advanced Mode now keeps your per-box and per-corner rounding when you create a comp or apply to a selection, and your custom rounding is saved when you close and reopen the panel.

The Path designer preview stays perfectly to scale as you resize the panel, so the boxes always reflect their true size.

The Flat preview now plays continuously until you pause or scrub, and undo steps back through corner rounding one corner at a time.

In the classic panel, generated precomps now sort neatly into a GridMaker folder in your project.

GridMaker 2.0.1

A few fixes and polish for Advanced Mode.

Apply to Selection in 3D Spatial and Path now builds the GridMaker Control null with its full set of sliders, so you can keep fine tuning your arrangement after applying it to your footage.

Tile precomps now sort automatically into a GridMaker folder in your project, however you build them (new comp, apply to selection, or select layers).

The Path designer preview now stays exactly to scale when you resize the panel, so the boxes always reflect their true size.

GridMaker 2.0 introduces Advanced Mode, a full visual designer alongside the one-click grids you already know.

Build three ways: Flat for classic and custom grids, 3D Spatial to arrange your boxes in 3D as a sphere, ring, cylinder, or helix with a camera you can orbit and zoom, and Path to lay them along any shape.

Add built-in animation with in and out styles, an easing curve editor, and a playhead timeline, then Create New Comp or Apply to Selection to bring in your footage.

Drive the whole grid from one controller, save your layouts as presets, or start from a ready-made Composer layout.

Everything from classic GridMaker still works exactly as before.

Big update! Add logos, pictures, and videos to your credits, including several side by side in one row, all auto-sized to the frame. New precomp options drop your media into a ready-to-fill 16:9 or 9:16 precomp, and videos time themselves to the full scroll automatically. Rename credit projects right from the project bar, pick any font in your library per part of the credits, fine-tune spacing with live sliders, and resize the live preview in Advanced Mode. Plus a built-in Help tab and font checker.

Credits is here! Build professional credit rolls inside After Effects: pick from 7 templates, watch a live preview that matches your final render exactly, and generate scrolling or card-style credits in one click. Import your credit list from Excel or CSV, use any font in your library, fine-tune spacing with live sliders, and open Advanced Mode for a large two-pane editor with an always-on preview. Includes 5 example projects to explore.

JSXBIN-compiled production release. Same functionality as 1.0.18.

Production release — promoted from beta. Track-matte aware visibility, native solo, image/video/audio layer types, project-wide find/replace, and many bug fixes. Visible to all subscribers.

Solo now toggles per-type and stacks. Shift-click a type to solo it; shift-click again to unsolo. Shift-click a different type to add it to the solo set. Soloed types get a yellow border so you can see what's active at a glance.

Solo now uses AE's native solo (the small dot column) instead of toggling the eyeball — non-destructive. Show All / Hide All clear all solos so you can return to a normal state in one click.

Mac boot fix — JSX bridge now loads reliably on macOS where the chained loader could race or come back empty. Added a one-shot retry + clearer diagnostic banner if it ever fails again.

Packaging fix — installs cleanly on macOS now (1.0.13 zip used Windows-style backslash paths that broke yauzl extraction on Mac). Same features as 1.0.13.

Big tune-up: Layers tab visibility, lock, and sort toggles now work; added Image / Video / Audio layer types; Labels apply to your current selection; Find/Replace now sweeps the whole project (items + layer names everywhere). Find and Comps tabs trimmed for now.

JSXBIN-compiled release — same functionality + license flow as previous version. No action needed.

Initial release — search free stock photos & videos across Pexels, Unsplash, and Pixabay; hover-preview videos; resolution + orientation filters; Insert (current track) and Paste (next available track) buttons.

Production-ready release — line rendering now works in all language versions of After Effects

Initial beta — 7 templates, CSV/JSON import, logo/picture/video sections, real-time preview, style controls

JumpCut is officially out of beta! Advanced mode now cuts, deletes, and closes gaps cleanly across your entire sequence in one run on both Mac and Windows. Includes a clear 'stay in Premiere' heads-up, track alignment check, and a finished-popup with your run stats.

Finished popup: Advanced mode now shows a clear completion dialog when it's done — summary of cuts made, clips removed, gaps closed, plus the undo shortcut if you want to roll back.

UX safety: confirm dialog for Advanced mode now asks you to stay in Premiere while it runs (grab a coffee!). First-time Mac users get a one-time permission heads-up so the OS prompt isn't a surprise.

Windows Advanced mode: gap-close step now closes the whole sequence in one clean pass — no more 1-frame offset artifacts on longer cuts. Final output now matches Mac exactly.

Windows Advanced mode now matches Mac: visible left-to-right cuts, then a clean delete, then a right-to-left gap collapse — you can watch the pipeline work through your sequence one step at a time.

Windows Advanced mode: Delete-only and Cut+Delete+CloseGap now work reliably across every track, visible one region at a time.

Windows Advanced mode: smoother, more reliable pipeline — cuts land one-at-a-time with live progress ('Razor 12 / 47'), so you can see exactly where you are in the run.

Windows Advanced mode: three visible phases with clear status — 'Phase 1/3: Placing razors', 'Phase 2/3: Deleting silence clips', 'Phase 3/3: Closing gaps' — mirroring the Mac experience. Fixes Delete-only runs appearing to do nothing, and Advanced runs looking identical to Fast.

Windows Advanced mode: genuine three-phase pipeline (cut → delete → close gap) with separate counts in the result ('N razors, M clips removed, K gaps closed'). Cut Mode panel simplified to just Delete and Close Gap toggles.

New: Cut Mode panel with Delete and Close Gap toggles — run just the parts of the pipeline you need. Windows adds Fast / Advanced tabs to pick between a one-shot cut and a step-by-step pipeline.

Mac: full pipeline now finishes itself — cuts, deletes, and then closes all gaps automatically in one run. No more manual Close Gap step.

Mac: silence clips are now removed automatically after the cut pass — gaps remain in place, all your effects, keyframes, and transforms on surviving clips stay untouched. Success toast now reports cuts + clips removed + regions matched.

Mac: new cut engine — fast, reliable cuts across every track with full effect preservation (crops, transforms, keyframes intact). Pre-flight check asks for macOS Accessibility permission on first run with a clear guide to System Settings. Fixes the v1.0.27 slow-run issue on long timelines. Windows path untouched.

Mac: Cut-only mode — places cuts at each silence boundary without deleting anything, so you can review and decide what to remove. Effects preserved on surviving clips. Windows unchanged.

Mac: added a working safety net — when the preferred cut path can't go through on the latest Premiere Pro release, the plugin now falls back to a proven cut method instead of aborting. Diagnostics now write line-by-line so aborts leave a complete record. Windows unchanged.

Mac: wider compatibility — expanded the set of cut strategies tried when the default path silently no-ops on newer Premiere Pro Mac builds. Logs the exact Premiere version at startup so support can help faster. Pre-flight aborts cleanly if nothing works. Windows unchanged.

Mac: switched to Premiere's native split mechanism — preserves effects on both halves of every cut. Leaves gaps you can close with Sequence > Close Gap. Aborts cleanly if nothing works on this Mac build — zero damage. Windows unchanged.

Mac: surgical cut engine — only clips at each cut boundary are touched, so if a single cut fails the rest of the timeline stays intact. Timing buffers added throughout so Premiere settles between edits. Slower than Windows by design — accuracy first. Windows unchanged.

Mac: ground-up cut engine using only stable, documented Premiere APIs. Each track is rebuilt independently so every track stays aligned. Pre-flight runs a safe dry-run on one clip before touching the rest — aborts cleanly if anything fails. Windows unchanged.

Mac: switched from per-track cuts to sequence-wide cuts for better compatibility. Improved diagnostics. Windows unchanged.

Mac: new cut strategy — cuts every track at silence boundaries and ripples the middles out per-track so every track stays aligned. Pre-flight verifies it works on the first cut before proceeding. Windows unchanged.

Mac: probes for a clean cut path on the first cut and uses whichever strategy actually works, falling back to per-track cutting if needed. Slower but reliable. Windows unchanged.

Mac: cleaner cuts — removes content without rippling, leaving uniform gaps so you can Close Gap once. Every API call is now verified to catch silent no-ops. Windows unchanged.

Mac: fixes the v1.0.17 destruction bug — Mac treats track-isolation flags opposite to Windows, now handled correctly. Per-cut verification catches drift, and a pre-flight probe aborts cleanly before any damage is done. Windows unchanged.

Mac: safety pre-flight — runs one test cut first and aborts immediately if anything other than the targeted track changed. Worst case is one undoable cut. Windows unchanged.

Mac: two-phase cut — first cuts every silence boundary, then removes the middles, leaving gaps to close together with Sequence > Close Gap. Windows unchanged.

Mac: new cut approach that ripples reliably on multi-track sequences — replaces the Mac path that was leaving stray frames on some tracks. Windows unchanged.

Mac multi-track gap fix: after every cut pass, the plugin now scans each track and closes any gaps Premiere left behind on Mac. Windows runs the same pass but finds nothing to fix.

Multi-track gap fix: sync-locks every track before cutting so every track ripples together. Fixes misalignment on sequences with multiple linked video/audio tracks.

Mac gap fix: cuts now land on exact frame boundaries — removes the one-tick nudge from v1.0.9/1.0.10 that was creating tiny gaps at every cut.

Diagnostics: fixed the Diag error toast and added per-cut logging to the diag file.

Mac fix: adjusts cut in-point to compensate for a Premiere Pro Mac edit-boundary difference.

Diagnostics: writes a diagnostic report directly to Desktop when enabled.

Diagnostics: saves a diagnostic report to Desktop after cuts for Mac gap debugging.

Reverted the frame-offset workaround; Mac now uses identical cut logic to Windows. Added diagnostic logging for ongoing Mac gap investigation.

Mac: compensates for a one-frame video offset so video aligns with audio after cuts. Windows unchanged.

Mac: fix one-frame video/audio drift with tighter frame-snapping. Windows unchanged.

Mac: new cut path for gap-free cuts on multi-track sequences. Windows unchanged.

Mac: three-step cut method replaces the old single-step — fixes one-frame gaps on Mac. Windows unchanged.

Fixes Mac one-frame video gaps, auto-increments sequence names on each run, and reliably clones into a JumpCut folder so originals stay untouched.

Fixes one-frame video misalignment by using higher-precision timing internally.

Two-pass cut: first cuts every boundary, then removes the silence — leaves gaps open so you can verify cut positions before closing them.

Fix one-frame video gap: cuts are now snapped to exact frame boundaries for precise alignment.

New cut approach: splits at silence boundaries then ripple-removes the middle — frame-snapped for video alignment.

Test build: removes silence but leaves gaps open — close gaps manually to verify cut positions.

Test build: simple cut-and-remove with no gap closing — manually close gaps to verify.

Fix cuts: left-to-right cut order with offset tracking. Refresh clears all keyframes. UI polish on the line-toggle buttons.

Fix gaps: new remove-then-close-gaps flow. Setting lines on the waveform (toggle per setting). All keyframes draggable on their lines. Saves into a JumpCut folder so originals stay untouched.

Keyframes on the threshold line with bend/interpolate, draggable in both value and time. Clear-keyframes confirmation dialog. Track retargeting before each cut to fix residual gaps.

Fix: track-specific analysis now reads correct audio slice using clip in-points, track checklist replaces broken solo detection, resizable waveform preview

Initial beta — 108 expression presets, AI writer (OpenAI + Anthropic), expression linker, keyframe staggerer

Fix: solo/mute tracks now respected during analysis, multi-track waveform compositing uses proper power summation, ripple delete targets all tracks to prevent gaps

Presets system (save/load detection settings), undo/redo for keyframes, clear all keyframes button, draggable playhead scrubbing, AE-style keyframe navigation, extended threshold range (-96 dB), track alignment warning, muted track skip

Keyframe system for detection settings, prominent refresh button with confirm dialog, compressed audio format support (MP3/AAC/M4A), multi-track waveform compositing fix

Refresh button, backup sequence fix, track alignment guardrail, dynamic track dropdown, draggable threshold on waveform

Streaming audio analyzer — no file size limit, handles 2GB+ projects
