Changelog

Notes for every beta build, newest first. The app updates itself when a new version is out.

## [Version 0.9.8](https://viditor.app/changelog/0.9.8)

Latest October 13, 2026

Quicker replies from the AI.

- **No more waiting on a rendered result after each reply.** The chat lists what changed; press play in the preview to watch it.

## [Version 0.9.7](https://viditor.app/changelog/0.9.7)

October 13, 2026

A simpler Vidiyo, focused on editing.

- **Home is Projects and Exports.** The Board, Calendar and Buffer scheduling are paused while we focus on the editor. Export your video and post it with the tool you already use.
- **Ask the AI for post captions.** It writes one for each platform from what your video actually says, ready to paste.
- **Clearer chat errors.** When a safety filter stops a request, chat says so and suggests starting a new chat instead of retrying.

## [Version 0.9.6](https://viditor.app/changelog/0.9.6)

October 13, 2026

Calmer sound, a track mixer, and AI that fixes its own sign-in.

- **Fix AI access in one click.** When chat is signed out, out of usage or blocked, the chat offers the fix right there, and your message sends by itself once you're back in.
- **The AI talks you through its work** as it edits, and always ends with a short summary.
- **Track volume.** Click a track header to set the whole track's volume, mute it, hide it or select its clips.
- **Style every caption at once** from the Captions track header, now with a background plate, rounded corners and shadow.
- **Quieter, sparser sound effects**, placed in pauses instead of over your words, and a tighter music library.
- **Waveforms on video clips**, so you can see where people talk.
- **Double-click a tab to rename** its project.
- Voiceover is record-only for now. Thumbnails and image generation are paused while we rework them.
- The tab bar sits flush in full screen.

## [Version 0.9.5](https://viditor.app/changelog/0.9.5)

October 8, 2026

Vidiyo is ready to buy, voiceover lands, and the canvas edits like a design tool.

- **Own Vidiyo for life.** One payment unlocks it on 2 Macs. Buy from the app; it unlocks by itself when the payment lands. Already licensed? Just sign in.
- **Create an account in one step** with your name and email.
- **Voiceover.** Record yourself straight over the timeline.
- **The canvas works like Figma.** Box-select, Shift-click, move and scale several layers at once, and type straight onto new text.
- **⌘K everywhere**: screens, tabs, recent projects, feedback and updates, plus the editor's commands.
- **Updates are easy to spot**: a blue icon beside the Vidiyo logo shows what's new and restarts into it.
- **A Feedback button** at the end of the tab bar, and a launch window that leaves room for Stage Manager.

## [Version 0.9.4](https://viditor.app/changelog/0.9.4)

October 8, 2026

A welcome in, motion inserts for creators, and a calmer editor.

- **Anyone can download Vidiyo now.** Sign in with your email. If you're not in the beta yet, click **Email me when I'm in**; the app opens by itself once you're let in.
- **A proper hello** when you first get in.
- **Creator inserts** in motion: a post card, a browser window, a flow, logo rows and a screenshot highlight. The AI can also frame a clip over the speaker or put two clips side by side.
- **Text and shapes come from the canvas toolbar**, and the inspector's Style section restyles them without moving or retiming them.
- **A quieter editor.** Inspector sections open only when you use them, and settings for optional keys fold away.
- **A new demo project:** a real talking-head take with brand, captions, motion, music and sound.
- **Faster tab switching**, and the tab strip keeps the active tab in view.

## [Version 0.9.3](https://viditor.app/changelog/0.9.3)

October 7, 2026

A faster, cheaper AI editor, results you can watch in the chat, and hands-on layer editing.

- **Watch each result in the chat.** When the AI finishes an edit, a short preview renders under its reply; click it to play it full size. Then tell us **how the result was** with 1–5 stars.
- **Produced edits in about half the time and cost.** The AI does the same edit in far fewer steps, and fixes its own mistakes in one try.
- **Edit layers by hand.** Draw text and shapes straight on the video, animate them with keyframes, and link their colours and fonts to your brand in the new Brand panel.
- **Media folders.** Imported files sort into folders, and the AI keeps them organised as it adds b-roll, music and sound.
- **Stock footage and photos from Pixabay** with no key to set up.
- **Transcription runs on your Mac.** English is built in; download the language pack for other languages. Fixed transcripts that failed on some footage.
- **Use your ChatGPT plan** as well as Claude, from Settings → Assistant.
- While the AI works, **send another message to steer it**, and press **Tab** to use its suggested next request.
- **Settings → Memory** shows and edits what the AI remembers about you and each project.

## [Version 0.9.2](https://viditor.app/changelog/0.9.2)

October 5, 2026

Feedback, smoother updates, and a few fixes.

- **Send feedback or report a problem** from the Help menu or Settings → Account. You can attach a screenshot and the recent app log (secrets are removed automatically).
- **Updates** now appear as a small banner with what changed; restart when it suits you.
- **What's new** shows once after each update.
- Vidiyo now records how features are used and keeps your AI conversations (without images or attachments) so we can find what's broken during the beta. Your media and sign-ins never leave your Mac.
- A log file is kept at ~/Library/Logs/Vidiyo (Help → Open Logs Folder).

## [Version 0.9.1](https://viditor.app/changelog/0.9.1)

October 5, 2026

First friends beta.

- Sign in with the email your invite went to; a 6-digit code arrives by email.
- First-run setup: connect Vidiyo's assistant to your Claude subscription, download the local transcription model, open a demo project.
- Every feature that needs extra setup now explains what to do instead of failing.
- Music downloads on first use, so the app is about half the size.
- Updates install automatically on restart.
