- Updating a shared board no longer re-uploads it — Pressing Update used to push every image, video and font in the board to Cloudflare again; it now sends only what actually changed, so a small edit to a large board is a quick update rather than a full publish. Deleting a card deletes its file from your storage too, Stop sharing now clears out boards of any size, and the assistant updates an already-shared board in place instead of publishing a second link to it.
- New PRO layer effect: Droste — Escher’s Print Gallery recursion in a single pass — a layer that falls into itself forever, with an inner radius, a twist that spirals the copies and a Zoom that flies through them. Copies draws a finite stack — set 3 and there are exactly three, running outward as well as inward — with a Void colour filling what lies past them. Leave it at 0 for the endless version. Everything keyframes.
- Cross transitions choose which clip moves — A cross transition needs its two clips to overlap, and until now the incoming one always gave ground: it slid earlier and the timeline got shorter. The new Order control offers Previous over next, which leaves the incoming clip exactly where it sits and slides the previous clip later instead, keeping the timeline’s full length. Anything welded to the moving clip by its own transition travels with it — plain cuts included, so the move can no longer tear a hole open elsewhere on the channel.
- Advanced Zoom and Advanced Movement gained real control — Blend point places the crossfade anywhere inside the transition instead of only at its centre, Edges fills each clip’s borders separately rather than forcing one setting on both halves, and Zoom strength runs far past its old 300% ceiling. No fill no longer paints opaque black over what is behind the clip, the point-aimed pair no longer dips dark at the cut, and a layer’s exit easing finally runs forward in time — Ease In accelerates out, Ease Out settles.
- The speed curve is now a first-class part of the timeline — The clock button in the Speed Curve header hands the whole curve to the Keyframe Builder, so a clip’s rate can be animated; holding R while you retime ripples the rest of the channel; and your timeline and layer markers are drawn on the plot at the frames they belong to. Keyframes can also be captured without moving the layer, from a new button that records it exactly as it stands under the playhead.
- Colour and compositing — Screen, Lighten and Darken ignored the Opacity slider entirely and Multiply ran the wrong way; every blend mode now fades toward its own neutral, so opacity reads as a real dissolve and a mode’s soft edges stop bruising the frame around them. Colorama gained a Blend Mode and an Original level so a gradient map can be mixed into the picture instead of replacing it, and Repetile’s Expand counts animate — the grid builds itself out ring by ring without re-rolling the tiles already on screen.
- Canvas, media and the timeline — Animated GIFs play in the video editor instead of sitting on their first frame. The Media panel groups by the frame a file sits in rather than its folder, and search finds a file by its card’s title. Editing a card’s image refreshes its thumbnail instead of leaving the old picture behind, a big video card’s playback controls scale with it, an Instagram carousel imports whole with its videos, Reverse is one click in a card’s Edit menu, music can be dropped onto a timeline with no audio track yet, and layer masks start as a rectangle already in edit mode without making muted videos stutter.
- Fixed: maximizing on Windows could leave a black window — v10.2.0 put every Windows launch on Chromium’s hardware Vulkan compositor, and on affected display drivers maximizing could kill the graphics process while the app itself stayed alive, leaving nothing but the dark window background. Windows is back on Chromium’s supported default; if a graphics process still fails, the app reloads rather than sitting black, and repeated failures offer a software-graphics restart. The signed Windows release gate now drives the real window through three restore/maximize cycles before a build can ship.
v10.3.0 — Shared boards that update instead of re-uploading, Droste, and a keyframable speed curve
