VLPremiere Pro 0.11.76: The Finishing Release

VLPremiere Pro 0.11.76 is out today, November 1, 2026 — a stable release for Apple silicon Macs on macOS 14 or later, signed and notarized by Apple, and it includes everything in 0.11.70. It is the biggest release in weeks: fifteen new features, eight improvements and four fixes, most of them aimed at the last stretch of a project — checking the film, finishing the sound, and packaging the export.

Before you export: Film Check

Export gains a Film Check that looks for offline media, empty picture, graphics sitting over captions, loudness problems, spelling and repeated takes — before you export, not after a viewer writes in. It changes nothing; it reports. Beside every export, the app now also writes a text file with three titles, a description, chapters, tags and hashtags for YouTube (Shorts get the same, without chapters), and a Thumbnail maker offers moments from your video with your words in three layouts at 1280 by 720. The notes are candid that a suggested moment can be weak — you still choose.

Finding footage: by meaning, by sound, by picture

Find Footage — the magnifier beside the Project panel search box, or from the Edit menu — finds clips as you type: by meaning, by what the Mac hears in them, or by likeness to the picture at the playhead. Sound search listens to 45 seconds from the middle of each file. Look at All Clips shows every footage clip in one grid: click the shot that looks right, tick the others, press Match — one undo step. And with your own free Pexels or Pixabay key, stock search can fill what your footage does not cover; it is off by default, every file gets a credit line in a Stock/Credits.txt, and the notes say plainly it has not yet been tried with a real key.

Sound gets a library

You can now add folders of music and effects as a Sound library. Each piece gets a tempo and a rough mood, you filter by them, and you add a piece at the playhead. In AI Edit, Suggest Music and Sound Effects reads the film and picks from your library — at most one effect in 30 seconds, everything as a review row. A new audio option separates a sound clip into voice and background tracks using Apple's on-device tool; the notes are honest that it suits ducking and remixing, not producing a clean music track. There is also an AI Quick Edit that bleeps or mutes a word list you provide, showing every place for review first.

Shorts, screens and captions

Assembled shorts join moments from different places in the film into one short, in film order — the notes warn that a jump in the picture stays at the join, so watch each one. Screen recording arrives in the File menu (it needs macOS 15 or later, and is flagged as the least-tested feature here). Captions gain 30 new styles, 51 in all. For language versions, Check Names and Terms compares a translation with the original and lists proposals — nothing changes until you press Apply — and Translate Graphics puts the same cards at the same moments, translated, on that language's own track.

Improvements and fixes worth knowing

Dub translation now defaults to the built-in AI the first time you open Translate with it ready, instead of the close-to-word-for-word translator. Punch-ins land on the sentences that land something, and filler words are judged inside their sentence — a number's unit is never treated as a filler. Sound files under 44.1 kHz play from a hidden 48 kHz copy, avoiding silent clips while your file and exports stay original. Reading a music library no longer fills memory: about 725 MB at peak where 298 songs once held about 7 GB. And a crash when dragging sound across tracks is fixed.

What professionals get

A pre-flight check, packaging text written at export, and a searchable sound library are the unglamorous hours of finishing work — this release compresses all three. Footage search by sound and by picture changes how you hunt a missing shot in a big project, and the stock option, credits handled, covers the gaps you used to leave or reshoot.

What beginners get

Film Check is a patient second pair of eyes before your first upload, and the YouTube text file means the upload page is no longer a blank form. Suggested music arrives as review rows you can refuse, and every AI feature in this release shows its work before it applies — a safe way to learn what finishing actually involves.
