THE TAGS UPDATE
Some of the features in this update showed up a little early in a previous release before they were fully finished. Whoops! This is the full rollout, with everything now properly introduced as part of Fireshare.
-
A full tagging system for videos
A frequently requested feature. You can now organize your clips with custom tags, create your own categories, color-code them, and search videos by tags. A special thank you to @yahya-kousa for helping with the bulk of this feature!
-
Video cropping
You can now trim the beginning or end of a clip directly inside Fireshare by clicking the “edit” button while in a video preview. Cropping is non-destructive, so your original file stays untouched. Please note, this feature does not create a new "cropped" video, it just allows you to set what part of your clip you want to be viewable. Anything outside of the cropped area will not be viewable by your viewers.
-
Upload Card has been redesigned
Uploading has been completely redesigned. You can now drag and drop clips, preview them before upload, set titles, add tags, choose a game, and sort uploads more cleanly from the start. We’ve also added a check-mark to auto-sort clips into their corresponding folders.
-
Edit game artwork
You can now manually choose the game art Fireshare uses, including thumbnails, banners, logos, and icons, instead of relying only on the automatic selection. Click the edit button in the Games tab to try it out.
-
Better clip editing
Updating video details is now easier, with a cleaner editor for titles, descriptions, dates, privacy, tags, linked games, and crop settings.
-
General UI polish
Games, tags, uploads, and clip management have all been refreshed to feel more cohesive and easier to use on both web and
