Changelog

Clone Voice — type anything and hear it in a voice you recorded, right on your phone. AI creations now run in the background while you keep editing, with a new AI tray to follow them. And reel templates get one-tap colour themes, including your own.

• Speak anything in a voice you record. Record a few seconds of a voice — yours, or one you have permission to use — or pick an audio file, type what it should say, and it lands on your timeline as an audio layer.
• Runs on your phone. Once downloaded, it works offline and nothing is uploaded.
• My voices. Save the voices you record and reuse them any time.
• Expression chips add a laugh, a sigh, a whisper and more right where you want them in the line.
• Find it under Add Layer, or in the new AI tray under Create.

• Keep editing while AI creates. Create Image, Create Video, Animate Photo and Clone Voice now run in the background — tap Create, the sheet closes, and the editor stays yours.
• The AI tray. Tap AI in the editor header to see everything in one place: Create to start something new, Requested for what's running or waiting (with progress and cancel), and Created for what's finished.
• Edit or reuse a prompt. Change a request that's still waiting, or start a new one from any earlier prompt with its settings filled in.
• Results add themselves. A finished image, clip or voice is added to its project automatically — even if you've switched projects, it appears when you open it again — and the tray closes with a short "added" message.
• Export waits until your AI jobs are done, so nothing is left out of the video.

• A Style tab in the reel wizard. Switch a reel's colours with one tap, right beside All / Text / Image / Audio, and see the change live.
• A standard set of themes on every reel — Ocean, Emerald, Sunset, Violet, Gold and Rose — made from the template's own colours, so light and dark stay where the designer put them and text stays as readable as the original.
• Custom theme. Pick any colour and the reel's main accent becomes exactly that, with the other colours following along. Switch back to Original at any time to get the template's own colours back exactly.

• The Create Image, Create Video and Clone Voice sheets move up above the keyboard, and scroll when they don't fit.
• Typing is no longer interrupted when an AI result arrives while you're in a text field.

• Android: Create Image could crash on some phones as soon as it started; fixed.
• Android: on-device AI — Clone Voice, object selection and Colorize — could fail to start; fixed.
• Model downloads keep going when you switch to another app, and a dropped connection picks up where it left off instead of starting over.

Create with AI, right in the editor — describe a picture or a short clip, or bring a photo to life, on your phone or on your own computer. Plus scrolling titles, italic for every font, per-layer colour adjust, and exports that match the canvas more closely.

• Create Image. Describe a picture and it lands on your timeline. Choose Fast or Detailed, attach up to two of your own photos, and pick the result: the whole picture, just the subject on a transparent background, or subject and background as separate layers.
• Create Video and Animate Photo. Turn a sentence into a 1–3 second clip, or bring one of your photos to life.
• Runs on your phone. The AI models download once and then work offline — nothing is uploaded. These features are labelled "AI Local Model" and are experimental; a one-time agreement explains what to expect before the first run, and you can withdraw it under Settings › Privacy & Data.
• Or use your own computer. Add an AI server on your Wi-Fi or the internet and choose, for each feature, where it runs.
• Settings › AI Integration › Models. Download, load or remove models and manage your AI servers. Anything your phone doesn't have the memory for is hidden, with a hint to use a server instead.

• Scrolling titles. Set how far and which way a looping title scrolls, and keep a long line on one line so it can travel right across the frame — ticker style.
• Italic for every font. Fonts without an italic style now slant properly instead of ignoring the toggle, on the canvas and in the export.

• Per-layer hue, saturation and brightness on photos and video, matching the export.
• Use Reel wizard: colour themes taken from the template itself, with a live preview of the colours you pick.
• Reel wizard: the scrubber can be dragged, reel projects get a clear Export button, swapping a photo keeps the slot's shape, and tapping a layer pauses playback.
• Censor editor is now full screen over the live canvas, with a region you drag and resize by hand.
• AI agent connector: 310 tools. New tools create images and clips and animate photos — only once you've allowed it in Settings › Models. See the MCP reference.

• Outlined and slanted text, translucent layers, fades and crops now export the way they look on the canvas.
• Centred text no longer exports shifted to the left on iOS.
• High-frame-rate and slow-motion clips play at the right speed in the export, and a hard cut no longer shows both clips for a frame.
• Faded photos and shapes fade on the canvas too, and vector layers keep their fade and blend mode in the export.

• Android: saving to the gallery after an export or screenshot could silently fail; fixed.
• Android: device mockups on web-page layers now show on the canvas, and exported web-page layers no longer come out with a purple tint.
• Smoother scrubbing and export in the reel-template wizard.

Web pages as live video layers, a full Color panel with live scopes, smarter stickers, and a run of new AI editing tools — Edit by Text, Region Blur, Beat Sync transitions, one-tap Stabilize, and an Auto Reframe that follows the subject. Every audio effect was rebuilt for tighter sync. Shipped as 6.0.0 through 6.0.1.

• HTML layers. Drop a live website — or your own pasted HTML — onto the timeline as an animated layer. It renders live on the canvas and bakes into the exported video, transparent background included, so layers underneath can show through.
• Device mockups. Frame the page in a phone, phone with a pill cutout, tablet, laptop, display or plain browser window, with device finish, shadow, a screen glow that can pick its colour up from the page itself, a light sweep, rim light and a glass reflection.
• Camera framing. One-tap recipes — Showcase, Launch, Hero, Pop, Tabletop, Cinematic — or a custom angle and lens, with an entrance, a camera move and an exit baked into keyframes so the canvas and the export match.
• Scripted interactions. Script taps, typing, scrolling, swipes and hovers on the page over time; they play on the canvas and record straight into the export. Sign in to a site yourself, once, and the layer can stay signed in — an AI agent can turn that on or off but can never sign in for you.

• Color panel. Wheels, Curves and HSL grading in a half-height sheet over the live canvas, with a histogram, waveform and vectorscope that update as you drag.
• Region Blur. Draw a blur or mosaic over any moving region and it tracks automatically across the clip — for a face, a sign, a license plate.
• Edit by Text. Cut a video by editing its transcript, word by word; a one-tap pass removes filler words ("um", "uh", repeats) and silence.
• Beat Sync, now with transitions. Clips already snapped to the beat of your music — the cuts landing on every bar (or beat, or two bars) now get a transition centred on the beat too.
• One-tap Stabilize smooths handheld shake, including rotation, with a measurable before/after.
• Auto Reframe now follows its subject with a smoothed pan instead of a single fixed crop.
• Freeform crop — place crop points one at a time, Photoshop-style, instead of a fixed rectangle.
• Draw-your-own speed curve for custom slow-mo / fast-forward ramps.
• Export captions as SRT, VTT or plain text, alongside the existing burned-in styles.
• Import After Effects projects (.aep) directly — composition timing, text, parenting and blend modes come across — alongside the existing .mogrt template import.

• 324 bundled stickers you can recolour, restyle (6 looks, 8 colourways) and animate (In / Loop / Out combinations) with one tap — up from 24.
• My Stickers. Save your own cut-outs and transparent images to a personal library and reuse them across projects.

• Every audio effect rebuilt on one shared engine so preview, live playback and both exports now agree exactly — fixes a class of pitch and timing drift that only showed up on export.
• Android audio sync. Exported audio could drift out of sync with picture on longer clips; fixed at the sample level.
• iOS: mono sources now run every audio effect in stereo instead of collapsing to mono.
• Adjustment layers can now carry a colour grade AND a defocus together, and Light transitions now reach the export, not just the canvas.
• Push notifications for new features, tips and occasional offers — off until you allow them, with each category switchable in Settings.
• AI agent connector: 304 tools. add_html_layer and four companion tools cover the new web-page layers; apply_global_color_grade, apply_region_blur, remove_filler_words, cut_transcript_words, stabilize_clip, auto_reframe, export_captions, and the smart-sticker tools round out this release. See the MCP reference.

• A crop layer's selection outline and fade could drift from what the canvas actually rendered; both now match.
• Corner resize handles on a zoomed-in layer were touch-target-mismatched to their visible position; now counter-scaled correctly.
• Reframed fill layers could leave a black bar instead of covering the canvas; fixed.
• Face detection and Auto Reframe could silently fail on the iOS Simulator instead of surfacing an error; now pinned to run correctly there.
• 6.0.1: the Add HTML screen's live preview now stays collapsed behind a Preview button instead of rendering on every keystroke, and the URL/HTML field moved above it so it's not pushed down the screen.
• 6.0.1 (Android): the app no longer requests broad photo/video library permissions it doesn't use — every media picker already used the OS picker, which needs none.

Raster brushes — a stamp catalog, your own Photoshop brush packs and a Brush Style sheet with a glow that breathes — plus a two-finger canvas, a smarter font picker and a run of Android stability fixes. Shipped as 5.8.6 through 5.8.8.

• Raster brush catalog. 166 downloadable stamps in 16 categories — fireworks, smoke, drips, splatter, grunge, chalk, ink, paint, marker, snow, sparkle fields, ornaments and corners — alongside the 134 vector strokes. Each stamp lands at full canvas width, and every source is credited in-app.
• Import Photoshop .abr brush packs from a file on your device or a URL. Every sampled brush in the pack becomes a stamp under the new Custom chip, which the picker now opens on.
• Brush Style sheet. Solid, gradient or four-colour mesh fill, softness, drop shadow, outline, and a glow with an alive motion — Pulse, Heartbeat, Breathe, Twinkle or Flicker — plus six looks (Neon, Sunset, Aurora, Soft, Sticker, Ember). The style is baked into the stamp, so the canvas and the export match by construction.

• Two-finger pinch and twist from anywhere on the canvas scales and rotates the selected layer — every layer type, no need to land on the layer itself.
• Fonts. The system font picker lists only the faces your OS actually ships; font tiles show live download progress and a clear failure state; downloaded fonts load on demand, one face at a time, so large projects open faster.
• AI agent connector: 281 tools. set_brush_style restyles a raster stamp (fill, softness, glow motion, shadow, outline, or a named look) and import_brush_pack pulls a .abr pack in by URL or path; add_brush_layer and list_brushes accept raster and imported ids. See the MCP reference.

• A video layer and an audio layer playing at the same time no longer fight over audio focus — the video froze or the music went silent, depending on which started last.
• Seeking on long or damaged clips can no longer stall the main thread into an "app not responding" dialog.
• Exporting from the background no longer crashes on Android 10–14.
• The AI agent connector's background service is held only while the app is actually in the background, and the number of live video players is capped, so long sessions no longer run out of threads.
• Downloaded fonts drew as the default face on the Android canvas; download percentages were wrong on Android. Both fixed.

• Branded exports no longer lose the footage underneath the brand frame.
• Crash reports now group by cause, so we can find and fix the frequent ones faster.

The text tray update — a compact text editor over the live canvas, glass and knockout text surfaces, 101 Particles, three depth-of-field tools, Liquify, and three timeline styles. Shipped as 5.8.0 through 5.8.5.

• The text tray. Edit Text is now a compact tray over the live canvas instead of a full screen — Text, Fonts, Style and Animate tabs. Font tiles are rendered samples of each face, four to a row.
• Text surfaces. Transparent (a knockout — the letters are cut out of a panel so your footage shows through), Glass, Plastic and Glossy, with 14 presets and per-field control over bevel, depth, gloss and light angle. Identical on the canvas and in the export, and Urdu/Arabic layers keep their surface while a behaviour runs.
• Particles — 101 word-to-word companions on the sparkle engine (text behaviours now number 300), plus Sparkle Typewriter, which bursts particles as each glyph or word types.
• Every animation previews on the canvas. Picking a behaviour plays it once on your real text; the Animate picker opens on General.
• ‹ › wrap-width handles on the text selection, for LTR and RTL alike.
• Snake Path. Glyphs crawl along a motion path — draggable on the canvas, surfaces included, and exported with a true mesh warp so there are no seams.

• Blur & bokeh suite. 35 new blur, bokeh and optical looks built on real blur maths, plus skin smoothing and map-driven blur and displacement — with an identical result on iOS and Android exports.
• Portrait Blur, Subject Blur and Face Blur. One-tap shallow depth of field that cuts the subject out on-device; a subject blur that keeps the subject's own pixels and softens everything else; and a face blur that finds every face and keeps it covered as it moves (face detection is iOS-only for now).
• Liquify. Push, bloat and pucker brush strokes on any layer, baked into a displacement field so the canvas and the export agree.
• Datamosh and Glitter Field looks, and a retune of every filter's default strength.
• 3D rotation. Tilt any layer out of the plane (rotation X / Y), keyframeable.
• Shutter-angle motion blur on the base clip smooths the strobing that speed ramps and stepped slow-mo produce.

• Three timeline styles — Classic, Main and Compact — with a magnetic main track, an in-editor switcher, a default under Settings → Timeline, and the style saved with each project.
• Tap for trim handles, long-press to arrange. Every clip type can be lifted and re-ordered; a tap on a clip brings it to the front of the canvas.
• Row families. Visuals never land on text or audio rows; text stays on top, audio at the bottom, and every new add gets its own row and the focus.
• Duplicate clones a layer onto a new row directly below it. Corner delete / duplicate and grip rotation on the canvas selection; two-finger gestures everywhere.
• Empty-lane tap deselects, drag pans the timeline; a compact transport bar and bottom bar give the rows more room.
• HD quality switch on the Trim Clip sheet: export from the original file instead of the editing proxy.

• Playback islands. The canvas follows the playhead without re-rendering the whole editor on every tick; trims and clip drags run on the UI thread; undo snapshots are far cheaper — and one Undo now rolls back exactly one edit.
• AI agent connector: 279 tools, free on every plan. 17 new tools cover text surfaces, the three depth-of-field families, Liquify, shutter angle and an authoring-permission probe; canvas inspection is now geometry-true and text anchors are aspect-aware. See the MCP reference.
• Privacy-light install attribution so we can see which campaigns bring people in — no advertising IDs, and it can be turned off under Settings → Analytics, crash reporting, data usage. Details in the privacy policy.

• Downloaded Urdu and Arabic faces now render in the iOS export instead of falling back to the system font.
• Text stroke, shadow, pill and letter-spacing were exported 3–4× too small; they now match the canvas.
• Generative background shaders no longer export mirrored; Android GPU overlays no longer render as black boxes; shader filters survive Android's CPU export path and apply to the base video.
• Android: shutter-angle exports no longer stall, short clips no longer freeze, and devices below Android 9 get a safe video path instead of a crash.

• The paused canvas stacks layers by row, exactly like playback and the export.
• A clip drag no longer hands the gesture to the lane pan; the alignment guide can't outlive a gesture; a tap on a selected clip brings the layer toolbar back.
• Audio only ever lands on an audio track, and the Explore sound preview stops when you switch tabs.
• Junction transitions are part of the undo history; the editor no longer crashes when a layer has no position during an aspect change.
• The Membership card shows the subscription's own period rather than the trial's.

The text update — what you see on the canvas is now what lands in the exported video, plus 27 new text behaviours and a picker where every effect plays itself.

• 27 new text behaviours (224 total). Punch In/Out, Whip Pan, Hinge Drop, Slam Down/Up, Unfurl, Signal Lock, VHS Tracking, Datamosh, Title Rise, Anamorphic, Push In, Heartbeat, Tilt Sway and Tracking Drift — filling the Starting, Loop and Ending categories that were thinnest.
• Every behaviour previews itself. Each card in the Starting / Loop / Ending picker plays its own effect on a sample of your text, in your font. The picker also scrolls to the effect already applied and highlights it.
• Animated letter spacing. Behaviours can now open and close tracking over time — in the editor, in the preview and in the export.

• Canvas ≡ export. Rotation direction, skew, loop timing, the final exit hold, gradient fills, outlines and text-transform now match between what you design and what you render.
• Text animation on Android export. 129 behaviour presets that previously exported frozen now animate.
• Urdu & Arabic. Nastaliq faces keep their shaping through per-letter reveals and the preview, custom fonts resolve correctly in export, and baseline placement is fixed across every font.
• Fonts come back with your project. Reopening a project re-downloads any font it is missing instead of silently falling back to the default.

• An image on a lower track could cover the layers above it while playback was paused. Export was always correct; the canvas now agrees.
• Pressing play on the last frame now rewinds to the start instead of stalling.
• A text row with a behaviour already set can reopen its picker again.
• Exports survive a rejected background-export permission on Android instead of failing outright.

Brushes, a colour-grading library, editable motion paths and a much friendlier timeline.

• Brushes. A new layer type with a 134-brush procedural catalog — ink, marker, chalk, spray, grunge and calligraphic strokes — with the full shape colour system (fills, gradients, glow) behind them. Renders in the editor and in the export on both platforms.
• Colour-grade library. A browsable library of downloadable film looks, with live canvas preview, before/after compare and keyframing so a grade can shift over time.
• Light & grade regions. Grade only part of a layer — multiple independent regions per layer, each with its own look.
• Editable motion paths. Drag the endpoint handles to stretch, rotate and move a motion path directly on the canvas.
• Repeat. Pick a target length and a clip loops its source to fill it, instead of freezing on the last frame.
• Logo from any photo. Add a logo straight from your camera roll — no brand profile needed — and crop it before it is applied.

• Pan the timeline by dragging the empty area below the tracks.
• New inserts get their own row instead of landing on top of an existing clip.
• Clip filmstrips now fill the whole clip, with no gaps at the edges.
• Smoother, steadier preview playback.
• Apple offer codes can be redeemed from the promo field on the iOS upgrade screen.
• Anonymous usage and crash reporting is on by default to help us find crashes faster. You can turn it off in Settings.

• Library cleanup no longer deletes media a project still uses.
• Saving a project no longer wipes its thumbnail, and projects survive an iOS storage-path change after an update.
• Stopping playback no longer jumps the playhead back to a stale position.

Bring your own film looks, a built-in sound-effects library, and clip-level audio control.

• Import your own .cube LUTs. Drop in a colour grade from any grading suite and it appears in Filters with a real baked preview, a live canvas render and a quick-select badge row.
• Grade keyframing. Animate from one look to another with a canvas crossfade, and compare against the original with a before/after slider.
• Sound-effects library. A browsable SFX collection in Explore.
• Clip audio controls. Per-clip fade in/out, level and repeat.

• Imported grades preview instantly and export with correct colour — matching the canvas exactly.
• Large libraries and imported templates use far less device storage, and cached downloads expire on their own.

• The Android upgrade screen no longer comes up empty, and Restore reports what it did.
• Fixed export crashes tied to background processing on Android.
• A removed grade no longer leaves the canvas blank.
• Membership status refreshes after managing a subscription.

The FX update — seven parametric filter engines with 100+ one-tap Looks, 24 new motion effects, live effect previews on your own footage, and a smarter automation surface for AI assistants.

• 7 parametric FX engines. Cinematic Grade (split-tone color wheels, skin-tone protection, film halation and grain), Warp & Distort (swirl, fisheye, kaleidoscope, tiny planet), Retro Display (CRT, scanlines, LED boards, handheld palettes), Edge & Sketch, Light FX (lens flares, light leaks, anamorphic streaks), Cartoon (cel, comic, watercolor, oil paint, pop art) and Light Flicker (projector, neon, candlelight, lightning).
• 100+ one-tap Looks. Every engine ships tuned presets — Teal & Orange, Film Print, Cyberpunk Neon, Tiny Planet, CRT Monitor, Comic Pop and more — organized in a new tabbed picker (Looks · Warp & Distort · Retro · Sketch · Light · Cartoon · Flicker · Custom). Stack up to 4 engines per layer; picking a new look of the same engine swaps it in place.
• 24 new motion effects (61 total) — entrances like Bounce In, Roll In and Swirl In; exits like Puff Out and Sink Down; emphasis loops like Tada, Head Shake and Metronome; and camera-style moves like Pan Zoom and Push In.
• Live effect previews. Every effect and filter tile now previews on your actual footage — motion effects animate and filters render on the selected clip's frame before you apply anything.

• AI agent connector: 252 tools. Agents can now apply engine Looks by name, stack and remove individual filters safely (with the 4-stage chain guard), and verify their work frame-by-frame. Still disabled by default, local network only.
• Skills Library v3. Twelve portable Agent Skills in the open Agent Skills format — including new skills for FX looks, audio post, kinetic captions, data videos and a retention playbook — each also served as a raw SKILL.md for one-line install into 40+ agents.
• Showcase refresh. Live demos for all 61 motion effects and the new FX-engine looks, right in the browser.

• Removing a filter now removes it everywhere — applying looks no longer stacks hidden duplicates of the same engine.
• Multiple filters on an image layer now compose correctly in the preview, matching the export exactly.
• The editor toolbar now highlights the right tool when FX filters are applied to a layer.

MCP local-network reliability, cinematic clip-to-clip transitions, and a simplified pricing structure — plus the usual polish and stability work.

• AI Agent connector — local network fixes. The in-app MCP server now reliably connects over your local Wi-Fi on both iOS and Android. iOS 14+ prompts for Local Network access using a private Bonjour service so external AI clients can reach the editor.
• Junction transitions. Add cinematic clip-to-clip transitions between adjacent clips, rendered with Metal/GLSL shaders directly in the editor.

• Timeline scrubber. More accurate seeking and smoother dragging on long clips.
• Memory & playback. New low-memory warning banner and improved playback stability on lower-end devices.
• Plan pricing. Basic features are now included in the Free plan; Pro and Elite plans are repriced for simpler billing.
• GPU preview safety. Metal canvas validation is now stricter before enabling GPU preview paths.

• Removed leftover debug logs and unused Metal constants.
• Fixed timeline scrubber edge cases when dragging beyond the start of a clip.
• Various UI/UX and export consistency fixes across iOS and Android.

Our biggest creative update yet — shader-powered looks, video-in-text titles, richer masking, brand kits, and a larger automation surface for AI assistants.

• Video in Text. Fill any text layer with a video or image for bold kinetic-typography titles.
• Shader transitions. A new family of GPU-driven scene transitions — cover-and-reveal wipes, ink dissolve, slice wipe, tile flip and more — bringing the transition library to 49.
• Generative background shaders. A refreshed catalog of animated gradient and atmospheric backdrops, each with a transparent-overlay mode so you can composite it over your own footage.
• Shape Widget. Drop in rows of animated shapes as a single, configurable timeline layer.
• Advanced masking. Geometric mask shapes — linear, mirror, triangle, star, heart and freeform — with rotation, plus per-layer gradient fade masks for soft edges.
• Light-leak overlays. A curated catalog of cinematic light leaks to warm up any clip.
• App-promo toolkit. A Phone Mockup Reveal effect and a turnkey App Branding template for product intros.
• Brand kits & template theming. Apply your colors, fonts, logo and watermark across an entire template in a single tap.

• Filter parity. Color filters now look identical in the editor preview and the final export, everywhere.
• Smoother editing. Timeline, scrubbing and playback are faster and steadier, with lower idle CPU.
• Predictable sizing. Newly added media fits the canvas cleanly, with consistent resize and drag behavior.
• AI agent connector. The optional in-app connector now exposes 194 tools — including one-call template import, template theming, widget data, and export-parity verification. It stays disabled by default and binds only to a local interface.

• Corrected a text-backdrop orientation issue on certain shaped title styles.
• Resolved a rare black-frame issue affecting a few exported effects.
• Numerous export and layout consistency fixes across iOS and Android.
