v2.0.9

Markers, Face Blur, and smoother playback

Markers

  • Mark beats, transitions, and important moments with the new marker button beside Split. Markers added with nothing selected appear on the timeline ruler; markers added with a clip selected stay attached to that clip.
  • Clip markers stay at the correct moment when you move, trim, split, duplicate, speed up, or reverse a clip.
  • Tap along while your video plays to add markers in real time and quickly mark the rhythm of your music.
  • Give markers names, choose from five colors, or delete them directly from the marker button.
  • Tap markers on the timeline ruler to jump to specific moments. With Snap enabled, clips, text, effects, and the playhead snap to your markers.
  • On Windows, press M to add a marker, Shift+M to jump to the next marker, or Ctrl+Shift+M to jump to the previous one.

Timeline & preview editing

  • Fixed snapping pulling clips or the playhead away from the intended position when zoomed in, making frame-by-frame editing more accurate.
  • Drag clips, text, and effects to the edge of the timeline while keeping them under your finger, even when changing direction.
  • FlowClip now explains when linked clips must move together because there isn't enough room at the drop position.
  • Move and resize clips in the preview with clearer controls, larger touch targets, and a dedicated handle for smaller clips.
  • Moving and resizing masks is easier, with other on-screen controls staying out of the way while you work.
  • Custom aspect ratios such as 3:2 are preserved accurately, and ultrawide 4K exports no longer appear distorted.
  • The Windows clip toolbar now appears above the correct clip after resizing a track.

Face Blur

  • The new Face Blur tab detects faces in your video and automatically applies blur. Blur everyone at once or select individual people from their thumbnails.
  • Face detection runs entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded, and no additional downloads are required.
  • Fine-tune the blur strength and how much of each face it covers.
  • If you extend a clip beyond the analyzed footage, FlowClip asks you to analyze it again before exporting, helping prevent unblurred faces from slipping through.

Relight (Windows)

  • New People and Background sliders brighten or darken existing lighting before adding Relight sources, including darkening the background to make your subject stand out.
  • Relight produces soft, realistic shadows instead of unnecessarily brightening walls behind people. Adjust their strength with the new Shadows slider.
  • Light falls more naturally across faces and bodies, replacing harsh edges with smoother transitions.
  • Reduced unwanted light spill and glowing outlines around subjects, keeping backgrounds looking more natural.
  • A new AI model better understands the shape of people and rooms, producing more realistic 3D lighting across your scene.
  • FlowClip immediately explains when your GPU doesn't support Relight, depth effects, or background removal, instead of failing after lengthy processing.

Playback & preview performance

  • For 2K, 4K, and high-frame-rate videos, FlowClip can generate lightweight preview copies in the background for smoother playback and scrubbing. You'll be asked first, and exports always use the original footage.
  • Mobile playback stays closer to real time, with significantly fewer dropped frames.
  • Fixed long playback pauses when transitioning between clips, including videos downloaded from the web.
  • Scrubbing through videos on Android is approximately three times more responsive.
  • Fixed black flashes in the Android preview when starting or pausing playback.
  • Fixed washed-out colors in HDR footage from Android devices across previews, thumbnails, and exports.
  • HDR and 10-bit videos use hardware acceleration for smoother preview playback.
  • Reversed clips play more smoothly in the preview.
  • Chroma key, masks, rounded corners, background blur, blend modes, background removal, and intro and outro animations use GPU acceleration for up to 10× faster previews.
  • Video, image, and color adjustments update the preview instantly as you drag their sliders.
  • Photo editing is more responsive, particularly with high-resolution images.

Stability & imports

  • Editing no longer waits for preview processing to finish, fixing most of the freezes and “App Not Responding” errors reported in v2.0.8.
  • Closing a project releases its memory, and idle screens no longer keep your device busy in the background, lowering memory and battery usage.
  • Cancelling Quick Preview no longer causes the app to hang.
  • Project ZIP files are created and opened in the background with progress updates, keeping the app responsive.
  • Optical Flow slow motion handles low-memory situations more safely instead of unexpectedly closing the app.
  • Photos display in the correct orientation on import, including rotated and mirrored images.
  • Animated WebP files now import as still images using their first frame.
  • Videos your device cannot edit are rejected during import with an explanation, instead of appearing as black or gray clips.

Custom effects

  • The shader editor checks custom effects, transitions, and text effects for compatibility across GPUs before you save or publish them.
  • When a custom effect cannot run on your device's GPU, its properties explain the issue instead of silently doing nothing.

  • AI Relight uses AI-generated scene information to relight images and videos with up to eight point or directional lights.
  • Adjust each light’s color, position, intensity, radius, distance, highlights, and brightness, and choose whether it affects people, the background, or both without rerunning the analysis.
  • Create and edit multi-light presets, and reposition lights directly in the preview.
  • Relight models download automatically on first use with visible progress, then stay cached locally. Supported Windows systems can use GPU acceleration for faster analysis.

Transitions & timeline

  • Redesigned transition previews have separate timing controls for entrances and exits.
  • Custom transition parameters support finer adjustments and display three decimal places.
  • Improved tools keep directional custom animations more consistent between creator and editor previews.
  • Transitions at the end of video clips play more smoothly without repeatedly decoding beyond the final frame.
  • Clips keep following horizontal movement when dragged across incompatible tracks; invalid placements are still rejected on drop.
  • The playhead snaps to nearby clip, text, and effect boundaries, with a visual indicator when snapping occurs.
  • Effect keyframes appear as diamonds on the timeline, including effects attached to video and text.
