• System clipboard processing added - an option to insert images from the clipboard, as well as video/audio/image files from the links copied to the clipboard.

Version 5.1.2

• Enhanced text editing:
  • support for all common letter types and fonts, various character encoding
  • more flexible text introduction – users can enter a text right on the editor’s stage in an automatically adjustable block
  • ability to set properties for each character separately
• H265/HEVC hardware acceleration
• Interface localization into Spanish

Version 5.0.1

• Optimized advanced multi-color Chroma Key
• Adding the H265/HEVC codec as an import format

Version 4.0.1

• Filters, decoders and coders were optimized. Performance of many codecs, for example H264, was increased by more than 50%. We added a new opportunity to set zooming quality when working with images as well as to launch multiprocessing and separate coding, decoding, recording and reading processes for faster performance.
• APNG and GIF formats were added. The both formats enable to create videos with semi-transparence effect so that one can implement animation effects on web-sites. Quality of coded image was significantly enhanced due to dithering effect.
• We added compression option for SWF and GIF files which enables to significantly reduce their size.
• Audio format FLAC was added to enable work with audio materials without any loss of quality.
• We added support of 2K and 4K video as well as the opportunity to open files with H265/HEVC codec and Iphone Live Photos.

• Enhanced usability of the Editor:
  • the program saves current format and profile during exportation;
  • we added the opportunity to set not only the argument value, but also the time period during which the parameter will take this value;
  • new additional settings were implemented.
• The following errors were corrected:
  • several languages didn’t support subtitles;
  • animation object improved: number of images which could be open at once is no more limited;
  • auto titling error was corrected: a resulting file was automatically titled using incorrect symbols thus making project export impossible;
  • duplicate error was corrected: use of threads made the application finish its work incorrectly;
  • welcome page error in local versions: we included a welcome page with all recent updates;
  • Italian translation was improved.

Version 3.3.5

• A new object has been added: a chart that allows you to build diagrams. A large number of various kinds of diagrams are supported, including 3D diagrams: Bar, Stacked Bar, Point, Bubble, Line, Scatter Line, Fast Line, Step Line, Spline, Area, Spline Area, Stacked Area, Stacked Spline Area, Range Bar, Gantt, Pie, Pie 3D, Torus 3D, Radar Point, Radar Line, Radar Area, Radar Spline, Radar Spline Area, Funnel, Pyramid, Pyramid 3D, High Low, Candle Stick.
  Key features of the diagram:
  • You can change displayed data sets and their values, which allows you to create dynamic diagrams that change over time
  • Create several graphs in a single diagram or various diagrams (combined by context)
  • Import and export data to and from Excel
  • The diagram's appearance is customizable - the chart itself, the axes of the coordinates (including user axes), legends, names of graphs and axes, layout lines, markers on axes, and other elements
  • Completely fine-tune the color schemes used to create graphs, or use preset color schemes
• Effects have been added that allow you to change the tempo, speed, and pitch of the sounds being played, or play them in reverse. As a result, you can now play audio when reversing or rewinding videos.
• Group operations have been improved - the order in which assets are selected in the editor during group operations is now tracked.
• All application settings are now grouped together in the same place, which has made it possible to simply controlling the application and add additional functions such as auto-save and backup.
• The interface has been improved: the menus have been expanded and unified, and new menus have been added.

Version 3.3.0

• The way sprites are drawn has been improved. You can now combine drawing objects on a sprite with effects applied to the sprite.
• The editor is now easier to use:
  • a function has been added that allows you to turn an object into a sprite
  • the menus have been improved and now have greater functionality
  • you can now split a video into two separate objects: audio and video
  • the visual editor for parameters has been improved:
    • in the editor you can now display any object parameters in the background, as well as switch quickly between the parameters you want to edit. This makes it easier to edit parameters that are mutually dependent
    • you can now adjust the scale of parameters on a parameter value bar, which allows you to set the values of parameters more precisely
• You can now regulate volume by entering a percentage of the maximum potential volume. The regulating effect can apply to outgoing content as well as content that already has audio filters applied to it.
• The Threshold effect has been significantly improved. The effect now has various modes and works with the alpha channel
• The Reducing Bits effect has been added, which allows you to reduce the number of colors in the object being displayed
• The Special effects group now has a TV Effects subgroup:
  • AgingTV: the colors look washed-out, and there are scratches, dust, and cracks. The default effects from the "Old Film" group have also been improved
  • Broken TV: this effect emulates a TV with a shaky picture
  • Random Dot Stereo TV: this effect emulates a TV with stereo interference
  • Noise TV: this effect emulates TV interference (noise)
• Italian and Japanese have been added

Version 3.2.0

• Added the display of waveforms for video and audio objects, which allows users to edit videos on the basis of audio data (for example, cut out periods of silence).
• Waveforms can also be shown for audio effects. This makes it possible to precisely apply effects to the necessary fragment of a video or audio object.
• All parameters of audio effects can be edited in a visual editor, which enables users to make changes easier and faster.
• Improved a volume change effect. Volume can now change arbitrarily along a straight or curved line, or their combination (part of the Volume effect changes along a curve, part along a straight line).

Version 3.1.0

• Changes in the license agreement – the product can now be used for commercial purposes.
• Editing of non-linear object parameters has been moved to the main timeline, which helped unify and simplify the interface.
• Besides, the change trajectory of non-linear parameters can now consist of several paths that can be both curved and straight.
• All static object properties can now be edited in a visual editor, which is easier and more intuitive than entering the values manually.
• Editing of video and audio files has become more flexible and convenient. Removal and recovery of removed areas became possible not just with the help of an assistant, but also on the main timeline, which speeds up the editing process.
• Fixed bugs that resulted in program termination. Also fixed a bug that occasionally caused issues when certain fragments were removed from a video.

Version 3.0.0

All parameters that used to be changed linearly can now change their values along a curve:

• Added a parameter modification editor.
• Added curve templates to the parameter modification editor.

The new version features an all-new principle of managing object/effect parameters. These parameters could previously have a constant value only or change linearly from the start of an effect till its completion. From now on, they can change randomly in the course of an effect.In many cases, it helps remove unnecessary objects from the timeline, increase the usability and reduce the time needed for creating a project.

Besides, parameters can now change their values not just linearly, but along a curve as well, which will help create more complex and beautiful effects.

This means that starting from this version, the editor became completely non-linear.

Version 2.3.1

• Fixed a bug that could result in the duration of a video or audio object being set incorrectly after removing certain fragments from them.

Version 2.3.0

• The editor now features 3 new tools:
  - a video converter that has its own set of profiles (conversion settings) that is different from those of the editor and is optimized for converting files from one format to another;
  - a disc burning tool. You can now not only burn projects created in the editor, but use the tool for general purposes;
  - a video download tool – allows you to grab videos from various video services.
• Improved wizard:
  - added the support of batch file processing;
  - improved thumbnail visualization (thumbnails now show the effects applied to images);
  - added a possibility to apply effect templates to files (so-called “quick styles”)
• Improved the work of color correction filters by 40% thanks to optimization for new processors, and the work of the image resize function: the speed of the cubic and supersampling methods for resize effect has been increased by 300-400% using new algorithms; also added a resize method based on Lanczos resampling;
• Optimized memory management;
• Added multi-threading support to the scene creation process – the preview of complex scenes is now smoother on CPU’s with 2 and more cores, and conversion speed can be up to 50-100% higher on CPU’s with 4+ cores;
• Added the following filters: AutoGamma (automatic gamma correction), AutoGammaInv (restores the original gamma values after the use of the AutoGamma filter), Median (median filter), DeNoise (noise reduction based on the Wiener filter – applies adaptive filtering to images containing uniform noise).

Version 2.2.2

• You can now create videos with semitransparency. Codecs have been added that support semitransparency (PNG, lossless JPEG) and the GIF format;
• An internet profile category has been added with the MP4, FLV, SWF, and GIF formats;
• "Quick Styles" have been added. Quick Styles allow you to apply the most frequently used effects to the videos you have created;
• Support has been added for SRT subtitles, which allows you to enter textual messages using a special scripting language;
• The speed of the algorithms for rendering translucent objects has been doubled thanks to support for SSE2 technology;
