Schedule keeps your video URL until Buffer posts it Timed Schedule videos stay online until Buffer marks them sent, so posts do not fail from an early file delete.
We no longer remove schedule staging files just because the clock passed your post time. Staging deletes only after Buffer reports the post as sent, with a short grace window. Bulk stagger sends in smaller batches so large schedules finish without timing out. Improved 0.7.12 · July 14, 2026
Schedule setup: connect Buffer, then add your key After you connect Buffer, Schedule asks for your Personal Key right away. Timed posts go straight to Buffer.

More reliable recording, smoother editing, sturdier cloud Recording keeps going when you switch apps, the timeline scrubs more smoothly, and cloud backup plus Pro status behave the way they should.
Split and picture-in-picture recordings no longer freeze on one frame when you leave the tab or switch apps. Mic and system audio come back cleanly when you return. If a recording fails to finish saving, you get a clear error, a raw download, and a retry. Not a silent disappearance. Timeline scrubbing stays responsive on long clips.

Clearer desktop updates The Windows app tells you plainly when a newer version is ready, and it no longer says you are up to date when it could not check.
If your desktop app is behind, you get a simple reminder when you open it. You can skip once; it comes back next time until you update. Settings, the version menu, and the tray all show the same update status. When an update is downloaded, restart from the prompt to install it. New 0.6.25 · July 10, 2026
Emojis, fonts, overlays, and looks Add emoji is clear everywhere, fonts are easier to browse, Stitcher takes image and GIF overlays, and Looks got a much bigger library that matches export.
Add emoji opens a full Apple-style browser with search and categories on Hooks, Stitcher, and the Editor. Captions still bake Apple PNGs in preview and export. The Fonts menu is about 25% larger with bigger tap targets on phone and desktop. Stitcher overlays accept your own image or GIF uploads (plus video). Set duration, drag, and transform like any overlay clip. Looks expanded with dozens of distinct grades. Hooks and Stitcher apply the same look in preview and on export. Improved 0.6.22 · July 10, 2026
Unique looks and frames, for real Hooks and Stitcher use ranged unique looks, exact tooltips, and preview that matches export.
Generate button and caption list labels follow looks / frames toggles. Each caption gets a unique grade within a small range of its seed look. Not the same eight recycled. Turn seed looks on or off in Hook settings. Frame uniqueify shows badges and updates the right preview when you click a caption. Stitcher unique look per clip uses the same ranged grades and exact tooltips. Full video look still stacks on top. Improved 0.6.21 · July 10, 2026
See the look on every caption When unique looks are on, each caption shows which look it got. Click to preview. Stitcher can give each clip its own look too.

Stitcher shows the same look badges on your hooks, and can apply unique looks per clip on top of Full video look. New 0.6.20 · July 10, 2026
Advanced dodging: unique looks + tighter frame fill v0.6.20 adds optional unique video looks per caption, slight frame uniqueify, Fill + amount controls so side black stays ~1–2%, and clearer Stitcher + line-width tips.
Optional Advanced dodging: apply a different Video Look to each generated caption (temperature, contrast, and similar vetted grades). Caption-only stays the default. Slight per-hook frame uniqueify keeps crops from looking identical without wild jumps. Frame Fill restores fullscreen. Amount slider goes to ~98–100% so you get barely any side black. Not huge letterbox bars. After Generate, Export to Stitcher stays the recommended path for full videos. Line width under Text style is clearer when a second caption line needs to fit on one line. Fix 0.6.18 · July 9, 2026
Real screen recording + timeline editor fixes v0.6.18 records real screen frames (not a blank canvas), adds recording quality settings, fixes timeline zoom and clip processing, and keeps Generate from freezing the page.
Screen-only recording captures the real display track. Split and PiP still composite; blank takes fail before Save. Recording quality settings: FPS, resolution, and bitrate in the studio Sources panel. Timeline zoom fits long clips so a 2-minute import is not stuck at a 15-second view. Imported clips show Processing… right away, then unlock with thumbnail and duration in the background. Clip edge trim uses a resize cursor. Transition drop zones no longer steal edge clicks. Generate captions no longer freezes the page on large word-slot combinations. Progress and Cancel stay available. Fix 0.6.17 · July 9, 2026
Cloud backup + recording studio fixes v0.6.17 fixes Pro cloud backup so clips land in your library, stops retry/max-length notification spam, and fits the recording studio in one screen.
Cloud uploads register in your library instead of failing on every retry. Backup failures notify once and retry quietly. Permanent errors stop instead of spamming desktop notifications. Recording max-length toast fires once when a take actually hits 5 minutes. Not while idle. Recording studio preview is smaller so the record bar stays fully visible. Settings → Cloud has Clear queue if you need to drop stuck backups on this device. Improved 0.6.16 · July 9, 2026
Corner text-size handles on hooks + Stitcher v0.6.16 adds purple corner handles so you can resize caption text in the preview on hooks and Stitcher, with side handles still controlling box width.

Improved 0.6.15 · July 9, 2026
Punchy emoji hooks + Open in ChatGPT / Claude v0.6.15 makes Fill with AI ask for short how-you-could hooks with trailing emoji, and adds Open in ChatGPT and Open in Claude.
AI prompt and defaults match short captions like “how you could charge $676 for a sleek ai website with lovable in a day 😂”. Open in ChatGPT and Open in Claude open a new chat with the prompt ready. Copy prompt still works. Default template uses four short slots: price, style, time, emoji. Improved 0.6.14 · July 9, 2026
Shorter CAN-style AI hooks v0.6.14 rewrites Fill with AI for short how-you-can hooks, with a max-words slider and a hard 12-word cap.
Copy AI prompt now asks for short opportunity hooks (how you can / could), not long first-person claim captions. Batch options: set max words per caption (default 8, hard max 12). Generate and paste both respect the limit. Default slot banks stay short and readable. Blank from scratch still works. Improved 0.6.13 · July 9, 2026
Shorter result length on Stitcher v0.6.13 sets ending result length to 1.5–3 seconds (default 2s) with a slider in Stitcher settings.
Result length is fully configurable from 1.5s to 3s. Longer 4–8s options are removed. Default is 2 seconds. Old drafts and recipes clamp into the new range. Improved 0.6.12 · July 9, 2026
Fill with AI and simpler blank templates v0.6.12 adds Fill with AI (copy a full prompt, paste the reply, apply slots) and removes duplicate blank options.
Make your own: one Start blank path, Fill with AI, or Classic with words. Close the dialog to cancel. Fill with AI copies a complete TEMPLATE + SLOTS + HOOKS prompt, then pastes the full reply into your slots. No AI runs in the app. Claude or ChatGPT stay outside. Improved 0.6.11 · July 9, 2026
Clearer slot words and generate checklist v0.6.11 opens Slot words by default, shows how many unique captions you can make, and adds a hover checklist on Generate.

Hover Generate captions for green checks, red X marks, and a yellow tip for more words per slot. Copy AI prompt pastes a simple Claude or ChatGPT prompt to fill your slots. No AI runs in the app. Improved 0.6.10 · July 9, 2026
One-row hook actions and simpler templates v0.6.10 puts Generate, refresh, and Export on one toolbar row and simplifies caption templates.

Clearer hook captions and settings v0.6.9 makes caption templates obvious (custom vs starters vs legacy) and tucks advanced hook settings behind clean accordions.
Caption templates open in a larger dialog with Make your own, Starters, and Legacy tabs so classic format and presets are easy to find. Create from scratch: Start blank (no words) or blank classic slots with empty word lists. Type every word yourself. Text style, slot words, video look, and batch size stay configurable but stay collapsed until you need them. Generate captions, Generate again, and Export as video files use the same button sizes and styles. Stitcher text layers from v0.6.7 stay in place: timed overlays, collapsed settings, and burn-in on export. New 0.6.7 · July 9, 2026
Text layers in Stitcher, cleaner mobile v0.6.7 adds full text layers on the Stitcher timeline with collapsed settings, plus a tighter mobile workspace.
Add multiple timed text layers on Stitcher, same idea as the timeline editor: style, timing, layer, and visibility. Text settings stay collapsed behind Open text settings so the studio stays clean on desktop and phone. Preview follows the playhead; exports burn every text layer into the final MP4. Existing projects keep their previous results captions as text layers. Mobile nav and workspace tabs are tighter; marketing header glass is clearer. Fix 0.6.6 · July 9, 2026
Pro is cloud, not a fake batch bump v0.6.6 removes interruptive growth modals and the Pro-only +5 batch paywall so Pro matches real cloud value.
Batch export presets are 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 for everyone; Pro no longer sells a 25-video batch bump. Growth / celebration modals removed from product routes (no random popups after export). Pro copy and feature matrix stay cloud backup, sync, and extra Buffer usage; unlimited hook variations stay free. Marketing and empty states call the surface Stitcher; export studio stays the job description. Fix 0.6.5 · July 9, 2026

New default template: How you can / could / How I would / Try this lead-ins with capability verbs and a large $ amount pool. Preset picker splits Approved vs Legacy · Lovable; legacy items show a warning badge and MediaMaxxing guideline tooltip.
