Changelog

Major B-rolls update!

• Higher maximum frequency: If you move the frequency slider all the way to the right, we'll try to fully cover your sequence in B-rolls... great for "faceless" videos

• GIPHY integration: Use GIPHY as a media source!

• Videos + Images + GIFSs: 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

• Scaling mode: Scale to fill (default behaviour) or scale to fit (i.e. leave empty spaces around the media asset) when adding B-rolls

• Edit existing B-rolls: Exited the B-rolls menu but want to swap a B-roll? Just click on Edit and you can see the list of B-rolls again (even after closing/re-opening the app)

• 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!

• Various bug fixes

• 📝 Caption preset button modes: You can toggle between the (new) style preview mode and (old) text mode for your caption preset buttons from the ⚙️ Settings menu

• 🚀 Faster performance: Transcription-based workflows (e.g. Find B-roll, Remove profanity, Add captions) now perform faster

• 🐞 Various bug fixes

NEW FEATURE - Translations:

• Translate captions to 50+ languages: You can now select a target language for your captions and FireCut will translate your audio into that language. Simple

+ bug fixes including the issue with Remove silence (Basic mode)

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!

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:

• Mute / Censor curse words with bleeps: Remove profanity now also supports muting audio tracks when there's a blocklisted work, or even adding a bleep sound effect. 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.
