Additional caption styles: Add italic text, and use our new "Glow text with audio" animation for some extra flair!

Smart font size reduction: If some words are too long to fit in the frame with the current font sized, they will automatically be made smaller to fit
Align captions to cuts: Since you will typically be using captions AFTER cutting up your video, this new setting under Adjust timing will "snap" caption clips to the nearest cut (within a reasonable search radius) so that it matches better with your existing edit and you don't get "overflow" captions from previous scenes

Videos + Images + GIFs: We now ALSO provide images in addition to videos and GIFs, and you can select multiple media types at once
Transitions: Automatically add Premiere Pro native transitions automatically to your B-rolls, you can adjust their duration as well

Attribution information: We've included a super easy way to see who to credit in your video descriptions (where this info is available from the libraries), so no reason not to share the love!
Full-res non-watermarked Storyblocks assets: If you find yourself clicking "Upgrade B-rolls" too often, you can use this setting to skip the watermarked step. The search will run slower (because the downloaded videos are larger) but it means you can skip the upgrade step
Personal library: Better reliability and accuracy in using your own footage as the source for B-roll media!

9 Jan 2025
v1.1.72
NEW FEATURE - Remove profanity:
- Mute / Bleep audio: You can now remove swear words (including specifying custom words) from your video as a standalone feature. Meaning you can do this without needing to create captions and with more control.
Captions:
Adapt preset to sequence size: If you've created a preset for a different sequence resolution, then it will often show up weirdly-sized for sequences of different sizes. This new setting aims to "normalize" or adapt the settings to the size of the currently open sequence so you have a more consistent experience with presets
Letter spacing, word spacing, line spacing: You now have better control for various spacings as you create captions, another super-popular request!
Box sizing in X and Y, and better positioning control: Better control on the size of the box behind captions
Multi-track:
Improved algorithm for wide shot preference: This setting has previously been super-sensitive and we've recommended values of <10%. However, this update fixes this problem and makes it much more intuitive. If you set it to X%, then approx X% of your final video will have wide shots - simple!
Share of screen-time: A new summary display shows you what % of your video is taken up by each speaker, so that you end up with a good balance of speakers -- as with the cuts, this summary updates LIVE based on the settings you pick above!
1 Jan 2025
v1.1.71
Highlights:
- Custom reframing to vertical video: Get multiple "viewboxes" of the original video, great for stacking facecams (or gameplay footage) on top of each other for making shorts!
Captions:

You can do a standard beep or explore some other fun ones we've included. These SFX are Creative Commons 0 licensed (i.e. public domain, no conditions) in case you are wondering
Preset previews: The preset boxes show a preview of your preset rather than just the name.
23 Dec 2024

11 Dec 2024
v1.1.64
Captions:
- Nested sequence captions: - NEW WAY TO DO CAPTIONS - You can now add captions as a single "nested sequence" (a clip that represents another sequence) in your timeline. This makes your timeline more performant and less cluttered, allows you to add native effects (such as motion, scale, colour tint, blur) across all captions easily, and is significantly faster to add for longer captions. You're still able to do all the animations and editing that you always had access to, plus you can double-click into the nested sequence to edit specific caption lines if you like.
Remove repetitions:
Better timing accuracy: More accurate cutting using a better model for calculating word timestamps
Bulk approvals: New buttons to "auto-accept last takes" or "auto-accept longest takes" to help speed up the process of selecting which takes to keep

Multi-track:
- Manual track switching: Fixed a bug where you could not manually switch video tracks
