Text and shapes are redrawn through Skia with layered styles, gradients and a new
animation engine, Lottie and SVG clips arrive on the timeline, over a hundred new
transitions land in the add-ons catalog, and Windows gets a Direct3D zero-copy path
with fixes for NVIDIA stutter.
- Text styles: fill, stroke, shadow, glow and extrude layers with solid, gradient,
texture or shader paints, a Looks gallery (Neon, Chrome, Holographic, Glitch, Outline,
Echo and more), curved baselines and keyframable size, tracking and layer settings
- Text animations: per-character, word or line animators with In, Out and Loop
preset galleries — typewriter, type-on blur, rise by word, snap together, glitch,
flicker, colour wave, wipe, karaoke pop and bounce, and 40 more
- Shapes share the same style stack: gradient fills, multiple strokes, shadows,
glows and dashes, all keyframable so shapes can animate
- Lottie (.lottie, .json) and SVG files import as vector clips, with a Motion
inspector for editing slots, playback options and poster frames
- 100+ new GPU transitions ported from gl-transitions, available through the add-ons
catalog, plus easing curves for every transition
- In-app Marketplace for browsing and downloading stock media, with a separate
download-queue window
- Adjustment layers in the Effects tab; masks are now keyframeable adjustment layers
with on-canvas handles and their own Masks tab
- Cutouts via Robust Video Matting, and Paste Attributes with selective picking
across multi-clip selections
- Windows: Direct3D 11 zero-copy decoding and a GPU switcher for hybrid laptops;
fixed CUDA zero-copy and CUDA/OpenGL interop stutter on NVIDIA, hybrid-GPU decode,
display-cadence stutter and the black preview on software OpenGL; new playback
diagnostics and a warning for hardware-acceleration settings that will not work on
the current machine
- Audio: multi-channel waveform view, decibel volume control, multi-track audio
extraction, and separate-audio / unlink actions on the timeline
- Media bin: tree view, Import Folder, nested folder moves, multi-select with
Shift-click ranges and bulk actions, safe removal of in-use media, lossless 90°
rotation correction and non-destructive trimming from the bin
- Android: hardware-accelerated video decoding and a reworked mobile layout
- Save As, track renaming, select-all-and-move, keyboard delete, Shift+Arrow
frame-by-frame scrubbing, native shortcut labels on macOS, and settings moved into
a dialog
- MCP: headless CLI mode, text, shape and motion-graphics tools, and lower token
usage
- Translations: Tagalog and Vietnamese added; Japanese and Spanish updated
Thanks to @jmn8718 for lossless rotation correction, Import Folder, track renaming
and the media bin multi-select and folder moves; to @gorio for safe media removal,
keyboard delete, separate-audio and unlink actions, track numbering and native macOS
shortcuts; to @TSFBCE24RhythmHeaveners for the Tagalog translation; to @tojidotakarin
for Vietnamese; to @coolvitto for Japanese; and to @angelreyesvelazquezjesus-gif for
Spanish.
