Voice cloning
Clone a voice from a short sample and use it for voiceover anywhere in the project, on Desktop and on the web.
-
Export to a Jianying draft
Hand a finished timeline to Jianying as an editable draft instead of a flattened file.
-
Enhance Speech
Clean up noisy dialogue in place — a self-hosted separation model that keeps the voice and drops the room.
-
A rebuilt caption system
Edit captions directly on the program monitor: inline text, emphasis styling, bilingual layout and per-card positioning.
-
Claude Code and Codex run inside Desktop
Install a local CLI agent from Desktop and talk to it in the same chat that drives the timeline.
-

A labelled catalogue of whooshes, impacts, dings and stings you audition in place and drop onto the timeline.
