Concat 0.2.10

Fixed

• Captions on Windows. Generating captions no longer closes the app as it starts (#667, #668, #673).
• Black preview with Chroma Key. On some Windows PCs the Chroma Key effect could leave every preview black and exports failing. That cause is fixed (#673). A black preview that has nothing to do with Chroma Key is still open; if you see one on 0.2.10, please add your log to #709.
• When the graphics driver drops out mid-session, Concat notices straight away and tries again every two seconds, not on every frame (#673).
• Titles, captions and shapes play their In, Out and Loop animations, and an animation picked in the Animate panel sticks (#369).
• A speed curve plays smoothly, without a stutter every tenth of a second.
• The Library's sidebar scrolls, so Audio Effects can be reached under Video Effects.
• The New Project sheet scrolls in a short window and its shapes wrap in a narrow one (#688, #689, #693).
• The missing media dialog fits its files, closes from its ×, and each missing file has a Remove.
• The inspector keeps Voice only and No voice (#120).

New

• In, Out and Loop animations for clips, pictures, titles and shapes, picked from a wall of cards that play their moves (#369).
• Voice isolation. Keep a clip's voice alone or take it out, from a song's music or a recording's noise, each part at its own level (#120).
• Shake & Motion. Shake, Impact, Beat Shake and Prism Shake on a shelf of their own.
• A stack of masks per clip, each with its own mode and keyframes (#489).
• Shapes you can edit: size, corners, polygons, stars, gradients, outlines, line ends, trim and shadow (#288).
• Fades follow a curve you can hear and see, with a red zone on the fader and every waveform.
• The speed curve graph is taller, sits on a labelled grid, and lets you pick several points at once.
• Caption language presets for Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Hindi, Bengali, Thai, Vietnamese, Russian, Ukrainian and Greek (#675).
• Generate Captions lives in the Library, under Text & Captions.
• Your computer stays awake, and your phone's screen stays on, while a job runs (#695).
• Enhance takes any scale up to 2K, shows a progress bar, and says what it will make before it starts.
• A setting that only takes effect at launch offers a restart, which saves and reopens your project.
• The panels and the window open where you left them.

Faster

• Titles and captions no longer freeze the window: they are painted in the background, about 45 times faster than before (#261).
• Effects are ready when the window opens, so the first time you use one it does not stall.
• Exports read each clip ahead of its cut.
• Filmstrips of long footage appear sooner.

Interface

• A new Welcome screen, with a What's new card.
• The Audio tab is rebuilt around a gain fader, a stem mixer and fades drawn on the sound (#120).
• Settings is a page over the whole window, as Export is.
• Layers, effects, grades and transitions each have a colour of their own.
• OK comes before Cancel on Windows, and after it on macOS and Linux (#681).
• Dragging past the timeline's edge scrolls gently or fast depending on how far you go, and the scrollbar is bigger (#633, #634).
• Fourteen looks have new names.

For agents and scripts

• concat --schema prints the whole API as JSON Schema.
• An agent can give a clip a stack of masks and keyframe each one.
• concat preview draws an effect at any instant of its clip (--moment) and a transition at any point of its cut (--progress).
• If a graphics driver misreports its memory, CONCAT_GPU_BUDGET=off lifts the limit Concat sets from it.

Before you install

• Windows: this release is not code-signed yet. SmartScreen asks before it runs: More info › Run anyway. Where Smart App Control is on, Windows refuses unsigned programs; see the code signing policy.
• Android: no automated check has started this APK: CI's emulators run x86_64 and it is built for arm64. If it does not open on your phone, say so.
