Release notes

What's new in v0.19.0

Bokeh Blur, a new effect. A real lens defocus: bright spots open into soft circles or blade-shaped bokeh instead of smearing away. Set the blur amount, how bright a spot must be and how strongly it glows, round or polygon shapes with blade count and rotation, cat-eye shapes towards the edges, and color fringing. Presets for soft focus, a portrait background, dreamy lights, cinematic defocus and heavy bokeh, under Stylize.
Light Wrap, a new effect. The light of the background spills softly over the edges of a cut-out, so a keyed or masked person, sticker or title looks like part of the scene instead of pasted on top. Pick the background clip in the effect's Background row, then set the width, intensity, softness and blend, or wrap only the brightest parts. Presets for subtle, natural, strong backlight, highlights only and a cinematic rim, under Light.
Kaleidoscope, a new effect. Turns any clip into mirrored petals round a centre you drag on the preview. Set how many segments, the angle, which part of the picture they show, zoom, and spin to make it turn by itself. Presets for classic, mandala, prism, spinning and fractured looks, under Stylize.
Mirror, a new effect. Copy one side of any clip onto the other, about a line you place by dragging its centre on the preview and turn to any angle. Keep the left or right side, mirror four ways, or go diagonal. Presets for left to right, right to left, top to bottom, bottom to top, four-way and diagonal, under Distortion.
Duotone is now Duotone / Gradient Map. A new Gradient map mode colors your picture by brightness through five colors you choose, with Reverse and Keep brightness. Presets for thermal, sunset, neon night, teal and orange, and infrared. Your existing Duotone looks are unchanged.
New presets. Outline gets Dark Contours (dark lines inked over your picture, from a new Lines setting) and Color Edges. Speed Blur gets vertical and diagonal streaks. Stutter gets 15 fps and 18 fps looks. RGB Split gets a heavy and a vertical lens fringe.
Glow got stronger. Lay up to three sizes of glow together for a soft, lens-like bloom, give the glow its own color, and raise Threshold to glow only the highlights. New presets: Soft Bloom, Dreamy, Highlights Only, Warm Glow and Neon Glow. Your existing glows are unchanged.
Skin Smoothing, a new effect. Softens skin while keeping eyes, lips, hair and the background sharp. Set the amount, radius and how strongly edges are kept, and switch on Show skin to see exactly what is being smoothed. Presets for light, natural, beauty and a soft glow, under Character.
Deband, a new effect. Smooths away the visible steps in skies, dark walls and other smooth gradients, the banding that heavy compression leaves, while keeping real edges and detail sharp. Presets for light, smooth sky and strong, under Film.
Lens Dirt, a new effect. Smudges, dust and wipe streaks on the lens that only show where bright light hits them, the way a real dirty lens catches the sun. Presets for a dusty, smudged or wiped lens and flare dirt, under Light.
Deflicker, a new effect. Evens out brightness that flickers from frame to frame, from lights on mains power, time-lapses or a camera hunting for exposure. LiteSplice measures the clip once in the background, then corrects every frame while keeping real changes in light. Presets for flickering lights, time-lapse and exposure hunting, under Film. Mac and PC only for now.
The effects menu now shows what each effect is made for. A new switch at the top, All, Text or Footage, opens on whatever you have selected. Effects made for that kind of clip come first, and a small Text or Footage tag marks them everywhere.
Click an effect with nothing selected and it now goes on its own layer starting at the playhead, affecting everything below it.
Select several projects at once on the home screen. Press Select, tick the projects you want (or Select all), and delete them together.
Area: This clip or Whole frame on Shatter, Distort, Sphere, Elastic Warp, Radial Lens Warp, Speed Blur and Kaleidoscope. On Whole frame the effect is no longer cut off by the clip's mask or edges, so a masked person can shatter into pieces that fly across the whole picture. Shatter now uses Whole frame by default.
Disintegrate, a new effect. Whatever is showing (a masked person, a title, a shape) crumbles into fine dust from one edge and drifts away on the wind, rising, swirling and fading. Choose the wind direction, how fine the dust is, how fast it crumbles and when it starts. Presets: Turn to Dust, Rising Ash, Blown Sand and Digital Dissolve.
A new effects browser. Pressing fx now opens a wide panel: search and categories down the left, and every effect shown as a row of big thumbnails with its presets right beside it, so you can see far more at once. Favourites, Recent and the All, Text and Footage switch are still there.
A new Tools menu next to fx, with its own search box. The effects that fix or combine footage live there now: Stabilization, Deflicker, Deband, Skin Smoothing, Chroma Key, Light Wrap, Smart Relight, Corner Pin, Mesh Warp and Displacement Map.
Every effect now shows what it does. Shatter, Disintegrate and Lens Dirt have pictures, and the effects that are all about movement (Camera Motion, Echo, Stutter, Motion Blur and others) play a short preview of your own clip when you hold the mouse over them.
Auto captions line up with the speech again when you caption a selected clip. They used to come out a little late.
Time remap, for reverse edits without duplicating clips. Turn on Time remap in the Speed tab and keyframe which moment of the footage shows: a later moment plays forwards, the same moment holds, an earlier one plays backwards. Its sound follows too: played backwards in the backwards parts and silent while held.
Copy a curve onto other properties. In the graph editor, right-click and choose Copy curve, Command-click (or Shift-click) the curves on the left you want it on, then right-click and choose Apply curve. They get the same timing, easing and shape, fitted to their own values.
Auto captions break where you naturally pause. Captions now end at your pauses, commas and the start of a new phrase ("but", "that", "because"), never on a word that leads into the next one like "the" or "to", and names stay together. "I love PUBG MOBILE, but there are a few glitches that need to be fixed." becomes "I love PUBG MOBILE," / "but there are a few glitches" / "that need to be fixed."
Auto captions can fade each word in as it is said. Tick "Words fade in as they are said" in the Auto captions box. Each word stays hidden until just before you say it and has fully faded in by the moment you say it. Captions also line up better with the speech now: LiteSplice matches each word to where its sound actually begins, then shows it a moment early so you read it as you hear it. It works with both looks, and the fades are ordinary letter animations you can adjust or delete afterwards.
Drop shadows fade with what casts them. A title or word fading in no longer shows its shadow almost at full strength before the letters themselves appear. Shadows on ordinary, solid text look exactly as before.
Auto captions on clips around half a minute long are fixed. The last caption could run far past the end of the clip, a line could come out twice, and on some clips the opening words could be made up. Captions now always end with the clip's sound.
Effects that move by themselves now move on titles too. Grain, Film Damage, Disintegrate, Black Flash and the other self-animating effects were frozen on their first frame when put on text.
A small first picture no longer makes the whole project small. Adding a low-resolution photo first used to set the project to that photo's size, so every sharper photo and the export came out blurry. A picture now sets the project's shape only, at least 1080 pixels on the short side (and at most 4K on the long side). Videos still set the project exactly as before.
A blurred canvas zooms with its clip. When you keyframe a slow zoom on a clip, the blurred background behind it now grows at the same rate instead of standing still.
Put a transition on many cuts at once. Select several clips and pick a transition: it goes on every cut between them. Or select a clip that has a transition and press Apply to all cuts in its Transition section in Properties: the same transition, with its length and settings, goes on every cut on that layer. One undo takes either back.
A zooming clip keeps zooming through its transition. A clip with a zoom or any other animation no longer freezes on its last keyframe while it fades or slides out into the next clip; it carries on moving at the same speed until it is gone.
A clip's canvas stays through its transition. The blurred, colored or mirrored background behind a clip now fades out together with the clip, instead of dropping to black while the transition plays.
Proxy now covers photos. With Proxy on, very large photos (like the ones a phone takes) are shown in the preview at a lighter size, so they are quicker to show and use far less of your graphics memory. Auto lightens only photos larger than about 2,500 pixels; Half and Quarter lighten any photo. Exports always use the full photo.
A Color or Blurred canvas fades with its clip. Fade a clip in (an In animation, an Opacity keyframe or a dissolve) and the background behind it fades in with it, instead of sitting there at full strength.
Corner Pin and Mesh Warp work on text. Bend a title through its corners, or warp it with Mesh Warp's grid, as one shape.
Opening LiteSplice again brings the open window forward instead of starting a second copy.
