VLPremiere Pro 0.11.76 for Apple silicon Macs (macOS 14 or later). Signed with Developer ID and notarized by Apple. It also includes everything in 0.11.70.
New:
- Film Check: Export › Film Check… looks for offline media, empty picture, graphics over captions, loudness, spelling and repeated takes before you export. It changes nothing.
- YouTube text beside every export: Export writes a text file next to the video with 3 titles, a description, chapters, tags and hashtags. Shorts get the same without chapters. You can turn it off in Export.
- Thumbnail maker: Export › Thumbnail… offers moments from your video with your words, in three layouts at 1280×720. Check that the moment suits your subject: the choice can be weak.
- Find Footage: The magnifier with a spark beside the Project panel search box, or Edit › Select › Find Footage…, finds clips as you type: by meaning, by what the Mac hears in them, or like the picture at the playhead. Sound search listens to 45 seconds from the middle of each file, so a sound outside that isn't found.
- Look at All Clips: View › Look at All Clips… shows every footage clip in one grid. Click the shot that looks right, tick the others and press Match. It is one undo step.
- Separate Voice and Background: Clip › Audio Options turns the selected sound clip into two tracks. The original is switched off, not deleted. This uses Apple's on-device voice tool: the voice changes slightly and the background keeps some voice, so it suits ducking and remixing, not a clean music track.
- Sound library: Add folders of music and effects in Settings › Media Library, or a Watch Folder. Each piece gets a tempo and a rough mood, and you can filter by them and add a piece at the playhead.
- Suggest Music and Sound Effects: In AI Edit › Quick Edits the AI reads the film and picks from your library, with at most one effect in 30 seconds. Everything is a review row. Music goes in at a fixed level and is not ducked around the voice. Please listen to the result.
- Free stock: With your own free Pexels or Pixabay key, Settings › Media Library › Stock searches video and pictures, and Automatic Video › Look in › Free stock can fill what your footage doesn't cover. It is off by default, and each file gets a line in Stock/Credits.txt because both services ask for credit. This is new and has not yet been tried with a real key, so please tell us if a search fails.
- Screen recording: Record Screen / Stop Recording is in the File menu and needs macOS 15 or later. macOS asks for permission the first time. This is new and has had the least testing of anything here, so please tell us if it doesn't start.
- Bleep or mute a word list: A new AI Quick Edit takes your list of words and shows every place for review before it applies.
- Assembled shorts: Shorts › Assembled from the whole film needs an AI. It joins moments from different places into one short, in film order. A jump in the picture stays at the join, so please watch each one.
- Check Names and Terms: Right-click a language in Languages. The AI compares the translation with the original and lists its proposals. It can be wrong, so nothing changes until you press Apply. What you apply is kept for the next AI translation.
- Translate Graphics: Right-click a language to get the same cards at the same moments, translated, on that language's own track. It applies at once as one undo step, so check names and terms.
- More captions: 30 new caption styles, 51 in all, and Text › Tools › Add Emoji to the Captions, which puts an emoji on a few words.
Improved:
- Suggest Graphics understands the narration: With an AI, it designs each card from what a passage is saying, writes it for the screen, then checks it against the sentences. A number or a name that isn't said is thrown out. You still review the list, and names need a look.
- Dub translation: The first time you open Translate with the built-in AI ready, it moves from Apple's close-to-word-for-word translator to the AI. After that your choice stands. Existing translations stay until you press Translate Again, and a dub already spoken keeps its words until it is spoken again.
- Punch-ins and Remove Filler Words: With an AI, punch-ins go on the sentences that land something, and each filler word is judged in its sentence. A number's unit is never treated as a filler.
- The Assistant: Plain requests such as removing all pauses or adding a marker for each topic now reach the right tool, including with the built-in model.
- Text in footage: Automatic Video › Text in footage now has Large text only (the default), Any text and Off, so a small mark no longer turns a good shot down.
- Sound on display and TV outputs: On these outputs an inaudible signal now keeps the audio awake, because a sleeping output can lose the first words after Play. It stops after 10 idle minutes and can be turned off in Settings › Audio.
- Sound files under 44.1 kHz: These now play from a hidden 48 kHz copy to avoid silent clips. Your file and every export stay on the original.
- Reading the media library is faster: Each file is now listened to for 30 seconds from the middle, not all the way through.
Fixed:
- A crash when dragging sound: Dragging a sound clip across tracks with a caption also selected could crash the app. Captions now stay on their own track.
- Memory filling up: Reading music into the media library held about 7 GB after 298 songs. It now peaks at about 725 MB.
- Music muted when the language changed: A music or effects track marked with a language played only in that language. When you switch language or open Export, such tracks go back to every language, as one undo step. Dubs and a language you set by hand stay.
- English words on comparison cards: Comparison cards no longer show OPTION A, OPTION B and WINNER over text in another language.
