Product Updates

• Significantly Richer Clip Refresh Suggestions: The Refresh Suggestions button now produces a noticeably wider variety and more clips on every pass - different moments, different lengths, and different angles into the same content. Each refresh pulls from a broader range of the timeline, so creators can cycle through genuinely different clip ideas without re-analyzing the video.
• More Clips per Analysis: The AI now surfaces significantly more clips from a single analysis. Longer videos produce up to 15–16 clips, and videos over one hour can return up to 20 - up from the previous ceiling of around 10. A much larger starting set to choose from, especially on podcasts, interviews, and webinars.
• Deeper Detection for Videos Over 1 Hour: Long-form content (1hr+) now receives the same depth of clip detection and timing precision as shorter videos. Highlight identification across interviews, webinars, podcasts, and extended recordings is noticeably more thorough, with better moment selection throughout the full timeline.
• Easier-to-Discover Editing Controls: Many of Reelify's most powerful features - auto-framing configuration, dual split-crop setup, clip timing adjustments, manual clip creation, and caption positioning - were already built in, but not always surfaced prominently enough. This update restructures how they are accessed, making the full editing toolkit easier to navigate and faster to reach.
• Updated Tooltip Messages and In-App Guidance: Sharper, more specific tooltip messages and contextual hints across the editing workflow - covering framing modes, crop configuration, export options, and caption setup. Each message is written to explain what a setting does and when to use it, reducing the learning curve for both new and returning users.
• Subtitle Export for Easy Repurposing: Exported subtitle files can now be used directly for writing video titles, descriptions, blog posts, or social captions - making it faster to repurpose content across platforms without manually transcribing or copying text from the editor.

v4.4.2 June 9, 2026 UTC

• Enhanced Auto-Framing Engine: Extended the auto-framing engine's accuracy and consistency across a wider range of content types — including single-subject recordings, older footage, compressed uploads, and low-resolution source files. Subject detection is tighter, crop stability is improved, and the underlying engine is being actively refined with further improvements shipping in upcoming releases.
• Extended macOS 15 Stability Optimizations: Expanded stability optimizations across older macOS 15 builds, with improved session reliability throughout the import and export workflow on pre-15.2 configurations.
• Broader Export Format Coverage: Broadened export format coverage with faster processing and tighter consistency across MKV, MOV, and variable frame rate sources — ensuring reliable output across a wider range of video containers and configurations.

v4.4 May 30, 2026 UTC

• Manual Clip Selection via Timestamps: Creators can now define custom clips by entering precise start and end timestamps directly, adding a full manual control layer alongside AI-generated suggestions. Perfect for creators who already know exactly which moments to pull — interviews, highlight compilations, or any workflow where editorial instinct should drive the cut list from the start.
• Smarter AI Clip Detection for Short-Form Source Videos: Completely reworked the AI highlight detection pipeline for source videos under seven minutes. The model now evaluates short-form content with a purpose-built scoring window tuned specifically for condensed footage, producing tighter, more relevant clip suggestions that consistently surface the highest-signal moments.
• Refined Auto-Framing for Single-Subject Content: Elevated the auto-framing engine's precision when a single subject is present in the frame. Tracking now locks onto the primary subject with tighter crop boundaries, reduced drift, and smoother repositioning during natural head movement — delivering noticeably more stable, broadcast-quality framing across solo-speaker recordings, tutorials, and talking-head content.
• Persistent Clip Edits: Clip-level modifications — including trim and extend adjustments, manual crop positioning, and Dual Stack layout configurations — are now fully retained as you move between clips and screens during your editing workflow. Every editorial decision stays locked in exactly as configured, keeping the path from first cut to final export seamless and uninterrupted.
• Caption Export as SRT & TXT per Clip: Each individual clip's captions can now be exported as standalone .srt or .txt files alongside the video output. Useful for uploading captions separately to platforms, archiving transcripts, or handing off subtitle files to editors and translators working downstream.
• Filler Word Removal from Captions (Alpha): Introducing an early-access version of automatic filler word detection and removal within the caption layer. Words like "um," "uh," "like," and other verbal fillers are identified and can be stripped from the visible caption output — producing cleaner, more polished on-screen text without altering the underlying audio track. This is the first iteration of a broader caption intelligence system, with continued refinement shipping in upcoming releases.
• Auto-Pause on Edit Navigation: Playback now pauses automatically when navigating from the clip viewer to the editor screen, keeping the editing environment focused and distraction-free while configuring crop, caption, or layout settings. A streamlined quality-of-life improvement informed directly by creator workflow feedback.
• Watermark Export Pipeline Hardened: Strengthened the watermark rendering and license validation layer across all export paths, ensuring consistently clean, watermark-free output for all active paid plan holders regardless of export format or aspect ratio configuration.

v4.3.1 May 22, 2026 UTC

• Original Aspect Ratio Exports: Clips can now be exported at their native source resolution and aspect ratio — including 16:9 landscape and 1:1 square — in addition to the standard 9:16 vertical output. This expands Reelify's export coverage to YouTube repurposing, tutorial distribution, social feed posts, and any workflow that goes beyond vertical-only delivery.
• Caption Engine Accuracy & Workflow Improvements: Delivered a focused accuracy pass on the transcription layer, reducing word-error rate on fast speech and domain-specific vocabulary. Alongside that, completely reworked the caption editing experience — clearer contextual messaging, smarter inline hints, and a more structured editing flow that shortens the time from raw transcript to polished, export-ready captions.
• Clips Folder Access Directly from the App: Added a one-click shortcut to open the saved clips output folder directly from within the app. Removes the need to navigate through Finder after every export and keeps the post-export handoff workflow noticeably faster.
• Per-Clip Output Location: Users can now choose where each individual clip is saved at export time, rather than relying on a fixed default path. Particularly useful for creators managing multiple projects or delivering files directly to client-specific folders.
• Refined Auto-Framing & Split-Framing Mode Guidance: Redesigned the in-app contextual guidance for both Auto Framing and Split Framing modes — richer explanations, clearer setup steps, and sharper differentiation between the two workflows. Reduces configuration errors and lowers the learning curve for both new and returning users switching between modes.
• Improved Auto-Framing Accuracy: Tightened face detection responsiveness and tracking consistency across a broader range of video types, reducing common drift patterns and frame instability during subject movement and scene transitions.

v4.2.1 May 19, 2026

• Caption Vertical Positioning: Added vertical placement controls to the caption editor, allowing creators to set exactly where captions sit in the frame. Move them higher or lower to avoid covering key on-screen subjects or platform UI elements on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
• Persistent Style Presets & Auto-Caching: Saved styling preferences are now retained across editing sessions. Customize your fonts, weights, shadow backdrops, and active highlight colors once, and they will load automatically for every subsequent project without requiring manual reconfiguration.
• Enhanced Multi-Speaker Layout Flow: Redesigned the user experience and configuration panels for both Dual Stack Crop and Split Crop modes, making it significantly easier to define separate cropping parameters for multi-host and reaction layout formats.
• More Accurate Caption Preview: Caption preview in the editor now more closely matches the final exported output, reducing the gap between what you see while editing and what renders to the file.
• Improved Export Reliability: Strengthened the export pipeline to handle back-to-back rendering sessions more consistently across all device configurations.

v4.1.2 May 14, 2026

• Improved guidance and system messaging for non-English users, with clearer support for multilingual caption setup, language-specific workflows, and caption-related status updates.

• Rebuilt caption engine with significantly higher word-level accuracy. Handles fast speech, overlapping audio, and domain-specific vocabulary more reliably than before.
• Caption preview in the editor before export. See exactly how font, size, position, and style will look on a clip before rendering begins.
• New modern white caption styles with clean, high-contrast backgrounds. Well suited for professional and corporate content.
• Estimated export time shown per clip before the queue starts, so batches are easier to plan around.
• Clearer messaging and guardrails when working with large export files or uncommon video containers. Actionable guidance surfaces instead of vague or silent failures.
• New dual stack crop mode for PiP, reaction, and interview-style videos. Stack two speaker feeds vertically with independent crop controls per track, no manual timeline splitting required.
• Substantially improved auto-framing for long-form clips. Face tracking now holds stable across scene cuts and multi-speaker segments with far less drift.
• Resolved reliability issues causing exports to stall, produce corrupted output, or drop audio sync on clips longer than 10 minutes.

v3.8.1 April 27, 2026

• Redesigned caption editor with finer per-word timing and position controls.
• Expanded the built-in font library with new premium typefaces across all caption styles.
• Significantly improved framing accuracy in AI split-screen mode, particularly for side-by-side and reaction layouts.
• Minor UI refinements and stability fixes across the export pipeline.

v3.7.8 April 15, 2026

• AI clipping now supports 99+ major languages. Highlight detection works across non-English content with the same accuracy as English.
• Auto-captions extended to 99+ languages. Transcription and word-level sync work end-to-end without manual configuration.
• Brand Kits added. Set your fonts, colors, and logo once, and Reelify applies them consistently across every clip you export.

v3.7.6 April 6, 2026

• Expanded caption customization with new controls for line height, max characters per line, and per-word color overrides.
• Improved automated caption positioning. Captions now avoid covering key visual elements more reliably across different aspect ratios.
