v2.4.0 Features 2026-07-23
- New brand + app icon across the panel, installer and site.
- Effects: real plugin variants verified end-to-end — Shake → Sapphire S_Shake, Blurmo Zoom → S_BlurMoCurves (Z Dist 1.0→0.7 with easy ease), whips → BCC Directional Blur, with native fallbacks and a "Detected plugins" row.
- Transitions: fixed Blurmo slide/whip (correct Shift X/Y screen-space motion) and Twirl now fills exposed corners with a Motion Tile.
- New: Blurmo Zoom effect, Fit to Frame, and a "Use real plugins" toggle.
- SFX pack sounds re-mastered so impacts and sub-drops are audible on phones and laptops.
- Speed Ramp no longer lengthens the clip — it retimes in place.
- Audio Pack now works on precomp audio layers.
- Face Track: outlier rejection removes the jumpy/sliding misdetections.
- A much fuller documentation site with step-by-step guides for every tool.
v2.3.0 Features 2026-07-19
- Speed Ramp: one-click CapCut-style speed ramps — pick Slow-Fast-Slow, Ramp Up or Ramp Down, set the strength, and MotionMate builds the time remap with motion blur.
- Proxy: generate low-res proxies for heavy footage right from the panel. After Effects edits smoothly on the proxy and renders from the original.
- Audio Pack: match loudness to -14 LUFS, clean up noisy audio, and auto-duck music under a voice track — all on-device.
- Frame Blending: enable Frame Mix or Pixel Motion on every clip in one tap — including clips inside precomps.
- Crash Guard: save reminders when your project has unsaved changes, plus optional timed backups so an AE crash never eats your edit.
- Effect Guide: a built-in reference that explains every effect — including Sapphire/Twixtor staples and their native AE equivalents.
- Transitions: apply whip / zoom / blur transitions between clips across the whole comp at once.
- New effects (Twirl, Radial Blur, Wave, Handheld) and a reorganized sidebar with grouped tools and instant search.
- Under the hood: stronger licensing protection and lots of small fixes.
v2.2.0 Features 2026-07-13
- New Face Cut tool: pick a person’s face on any clip and MotionMate finds every scene they appear in and cuts them into a new comp — a scene pack of that one person. 100% on-device.
- Update notifications: the panel now tells you when a new version is available (it never installs anything automatically).
- Auto Cut: scene detection now samples several frames per scene, so people who move or turn mid-scene aren’t missed.
- Polish: keyboard focus rings, clearer toast messages with icons, an active-tool indicator in the sidebar, and refined controls throughout.
v2.1.4 Features 2026-07-09
- Graph: new "Custom" curve category — saved and imported curves sit next to In/Out/InOut, no more scrolling to the bottom.
- Graph: import Flow .flow files — load a whole set of easing presets in one click.
- New Layer tool: quickly create Adjustment, Null, Solid (with color), Camera, and Light layers in the active comp.
- Smooth Slow-Mo: new "Extra smooth" option — trims the frozen last frame and stretches the time remap to fill the comp.
v2.1.3 Security 2026-07-09
- Hardened licensing and anti-tamper: license signatures are now verified locally, closing a bypass.
- Removed a developer debug port from the shipped build.
- Model downloads are now HTTPS-only and verified against trusted sources.
- Safer temporary-file handling and preset-pack import limits.
v2.1.2 Fixes 2026-07-08
- Rebuilt the Effects engine so zoom, bounce and pulse no longer distort cover-fitted clips.
- Fixed Zoom In / Zoom Out playing in the wrong direction.
- Auto Cut: no more picking the same clip back-to-back, plus a scene-quality filter that skips empty/black shots.
- Beat detection tuned for cleaner onsets on loud, compressed music.
- Clearer message when a Whisper model is too large for the machine’s memory.
v2.1.1 Fixes 2026-07-07
- Fixed the Whisper model download getting stuck at 100%.
- The progress bar now moves straight to "Transcribing" once the model is ready.
v2.1.0 Release 2026-07-06
- First public release: 15+ tools inside After Effects — AI subtitles, vocal separation, face tracking, auto-masking, smooth slow-mo and more.
- New website, dashboard and one-click installer.
