v1.2.31

v1.2.31

🪄 Magic Cut:

  • Improved cutting, avoids cutting starts/ends of words

  • Control the pacing, a bit like the "silence cutting tightness" slider in the Remove silences feature

  • Re-designed review mode, explains why each section was cut out, lets you split your current sections as well as keep/remove them easily, and preview how long your final edit will be

  • Choose which enhancements you would like (default: FireCut chooses) -- zooms, captions, titles, etc.

  • Choose your own presets for captions and titles

  • Provide a script to follow as guidance, which has fewer manual controls than the standalone Script guidance feature... but we think you won't miss them because the Magic cut algorithm is smarter

  • Improved speed and robustness, optimizing the number of exports

🎙️ Generate Voice:

  • Added a fuller voice browser with search, filters, and pagination

  • Presets so you can save your settings and reload with one click

🖋️ Titles:
