This update is packed with improvements that came directly from you - our early users who've been recording tutorials, demos, and walkthroughs every day. Your bug reports, ideas, and feedback shaped every single item on this list. Thank you for helping us make AfterCut better.
New: Pause & Resume Recording
You can now pause your recording and pick back up whenever you're ready — no need to start over. The final video is seamless with no gaps. Look for the new pause button in the recording overlay.
New: Movable Recording Overlay
The recording timer badge was stuck at the top of the screen, sometimes covering important UI. Now you can drag it wherever you want.
New: Disable Auto-Captions
Not everyone needs subtitles. There's now a toggle in the Captions tab to turn off automatic transcription when opening a project.
New: Video Duration in Project Library
Each project card now shows the recording length so you can quickly find the clip you're looking for.
Fixes
- Export cancel actually cancels now. Previously, clicking Cancel during export didn't do anything — the export kept going. Fixed.
- Re-exporting to the same file works. No more errors when overwriting a previous export.
- Deleted zooms and captions stay deleted. They used to come back when you reopened the project. Not anymore.
- Playhead jumps to the right spot after cutting. When you cut (C) and delete (X), the playhead now snaps to the edit point so you can hit spacebar and keep going.
- The audio waveform is no longer flat on long recordings. Mic waveform is the primary one when available. Mic audio is shown by default. If you recorded with a microphone, the waveform now shows your voice instead of silent system audio.
Faster Everything
- Cloud sharing is way faster. Shared links now export at an optimized quality — same great look, fraction of the file size, and upload time.
- Projects open faster. The audio waveform is now built while you record and cached for instant loading. No more waiting when you open the editor.
- Better color accuracy in exports. Colors now match what you see on screen more closely.
