+ AI Super Resolution – Upscale videos to 4K using AI Super-Resolution. Whether you’re restoring old footage, working with mixed-quality sources, or zooming in for that perfect shot, this intelligent upscaling technology enhances clarity without sacrificing quality. By analyzing your video and intelligently filling in details, the AI can give you sharper, cleaner, and more consistent footage. Effortlessly push the boundaries of your video and keep your story looking its best, no matter where it began.
+ AI Motion Tracking – Keep the focus where it matters with AI-powered Motion Tracking. Lock text, effects, and graphics onto moving subjects with precision, ensuring they stay in perfect sync with the action. No need to manually set keyframes, the AI does all the tracking for you. Whether you’re highlighting a key moment, adding dynamic callouts, or unleashing stellar effects, Motion Tracking makes it effortless.
+ Marker Panel – Easily keep markers organized in the new Marker Panel. Add specified color markers directly to the timeline, as well as apply new duration markers to help keep an even tighter eye on clip lengths.
+ Nest Sequences – Save multiple video clips or edits into one Nest Sequence, allowing you to re-use the entire sequence elsewhere in your project without manually editing each clip again. It’s like a mini-timeline inside your main timeline!
+ Nest Presets – Nest Sequences can be saved into Nest Presets, which are saved to a local directory allowing them to be used on any project, not just the one they were created in. Perfect for maintaining a consistent style or brand across video content.

o Improved Exporting – You can now select specific clips or a range in the Timeline to be exported, pause an export in progress, and disable the preview.
o Relink Media – Specify a folder to relink all media in that folder, instead of relinking each file one at a time.
