Nice video. Very visually appealing and nicely narrated. (Some Camtasia action going on?) Have you created a how-to video to demo timing the audio instructions with the screen shots?

[@DescriptMastery]

Good eye! Yup, its camtasia. I havent made a video like that but I'll add it to my list!

[@larscasteen]

I’m noticing really significant performance improvements on this version

[@DescriptMastery]

That's great! They must've done some backend optimizations too 😀

[@carlkim2577]

They really need to test and solve stability. My last edit was torture. It kept crashing. I almost gave up. It was caused by loading my own images. But that shouldn't be a problem.

[@DescriptMastery]

I hear you. I dont know how much of this video you saw but it literally glitched or crashed three times while recording this haha not good

[@rosecityandbeyond]

1:43 I am trying like hell to get that feature back. It's guessing there's 13 speakers in my 4-person audio file, it's taking me hours to go and re-apply all of the speakers. Where did they move that setting?

[@DescriptMastery]

The manual speaker label method is gone? The update hasn't rolled out for me yet so I still have the old way...that said you should still be able to go to your files, find the file you want to label speakers for, click on the three dots to the right of the file name, and select Detect Speakers.

[@rosecityandbeyond]

@@DescriptMastery That was my first thought, but if I clear the speaker labels the Detect Speakers button is greyed out. There's no "Re-Detect" button that I can see...

[@thepianocornertpc]

Looks messy and complicated.

[@DescriptMastery]

Ha fair enough.
