on GitHub

Drift 0.9.2 brings procedural 3D clips, live masks from any clip, a reworked timeline and many tools for AI agents working through MCP.

• Procedural clips: Lua-generated 3D scenes with your own shaders, in a new Procedural workspace
• Masking: use any clip as a live mask, split masks with a feathered seam, rounded rectangle corners, a per-mask aspect lock and snapping while resizing
• Effects: Motion Blur, Privacy Blur inside the clip's mask, add effects directly to composites, an effects tab on clips and new effect thumbnails
• 19 new blend modes for clips and text shading, with live preview cards
• Clip edges have separate fade and animation layers, and an animation plays once when you pick it
• Clip position and scale are now anchored to the clip's center
• Timeline: tool cursors, disable clips, redesigned handles and transitions, add-transition buttons at cuts, track headers with lock and solo, faster selection, touchpad scrolling, looping video and audio clips, several timelines in one project, and range bakes for smooth playback of heavy sections
• Teleprompter panel for recording, with an optional preview overlay
• Favourites in the easing, animation, text, gradient, mask and layout pickers
• Per-group reset in the inspector, live text colour preview, Shift+E to hide a track, and interface sizes below 100%
• Settings to limit undo history and the proxy suggestion on import
• Windows ML engine for AI features on Windows, and WebGPU is back
• Crash reporting: a crash dialog with a diagnostics archive and optional crash reports
• MCP: insert, delete, move and replace clips with ripple, atomic and dry-run batches, a change feed, project validation, relinking moved media, proxies, performance settings and waiting for background work
• Fixes: audio stays in sync after seeking, microphone recordings no longer drop out, context menus work on Windows, ripple delete moves the playhead, the timeline scrolls while dragging, colour grade controls show in the edit inspector, and split clips keep their names
• Android: tap to add stickers, shapes and masks, a movable crop frame, and a new Animation page
• Translations: German added; Japanese, Russian and Vietnamese updated

Installing

• AppImage (Linux, any distro): chmod +x Drift-*-x86_64.AppImage && ./Drift-*-x86_64.AppImage
  (Drift-*-aarch64.AppImage on ARM64 machines)
• Windows installer: run Drift-Setup-*-x64.exe (Drift-Setup-*-arm64.exe on Windows on ARM)
• Windows portable: extract Drift-Portable-*-x64.zip (or -arm64.zip) anywhere and run drift.exe from
  the Drift folder inside it. Nothing is installed, but settings and addons are still
  stored per-user under %APPDATA%\Drift.
• macOS: open Drift-*-arm64.dmg (Apple Silicon) or Drift-*-x86_64.dmg (Intel) and drag Drift to Applications. The
  app is signed ad-hoc rather than notarised, so the first launch needs right-click →
  Open, or xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Drift.app.
• Arch Linux: sudo pacman -U drift-*-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst (Arch Linux ARM: sudo pacman -U drift-*-aarch64.pkg.tar.zst)
• Flatpak (x86_64 and aarch64 bundles): requires flatpak with the Flathub remote added (flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo), then flatpak install --user Drift-*-<arch>.flatpak
• Android: install the APK for your ABI (arm64-v8a on virtually all phones; x86_64 for emulators). Sideload with adb install Drift-*-arm64-v8a.apk.

Fonts, stickers, speech models and GPU/CPU acceleration runtimes are not bundled — install
the ones you want from the Addon Manager in the app header.
