New features and changes in CutZal. Beta changes are listed by date and stable versions by version. [Subscribe with RSS](/en/rss.xml)

## First in Beta

These changes will be in the next stable version. You can use them in CutZal Beta first.

### November 11, 2026

- Fixed · **Fixed the time display freezing and sound cutting out after a 16× block**

  Playing past a 16× block in the preview no longer freezes the time display or mutes the sound until you reopen the project.

### November 10, 2026

- New · **Inserted videos now come in at the same loudness as your voice**

  When you insert a video, CutZal measures the main audio and the inserted video and matches their loudness. Select the inserted block to change its volume (dB) in Properties; playback while editing and the exported video use the same volume. The timeline's audio waveform now shows that sound in the inserted part too. Agents can change it with a gain edit.

- Improved · **Failed exports now say where and why they stopped, and what to do**

  When the cause is clear, such as a full disk or a missing source file, you see it with the next step. Use Save diagnostics right below the message to make a log file you can send us.

### November 9, 2026

- New · **Speed up the whole video to 1.1× or 1.2×**

  Pick a video speed from 0.9× to 1.5× next to the final timeline's length. The whole video gets faster or slower together with the speeds you gave to blocks. You can also change it from the cutzal command and chat.

- New · **Insert a quote clip or separately filmed video, sound included, between lines**

  Drop one video file on the result timeline, or choose Insert video at playhead on a video in the Media panel. It goes in at that point and pushes the rest later by its length. Dropped inside a block, it lands in the nearest gap between words, and only the inserted video's picture and sound play there. Silence and AI cuts leave it alone, and one undo takes it out. Agents can use the cutzal insert command.

- New · **Choose a block's speed right on the timeline**

  Right-click a block on the final timeline to pick a speed from 0.5× to 16× or mute its sound. Press ⌥. or ⌥, to go one step faster or slower, and sped-up blocks show a label such as 4×.

- Improved · **Previews you play on your phone now count toward how much you heard**

  When you play the preview on a phone paired in Settings › General › Phone connection, the parts you play are sent only to your paired Mac and counted together with what you played in the editor. The share shows right after you export the final video. Parts played faster than 2x don't count.

- Improved · **Final exports now show how much of the final video you listened to**

  CutZal records on this Mac which parts you play in the editor after the AI cut, and the export window shows the share of the final video you heard below the AI cut changes. Parts played faster than 2x don't count. Unless you turned off usage statistics, only a range (under half, half to 90%, or 90% or more) is sent, never which parts you played. Turn it off with Send usage statistics in Settings › Storage · Privacy.

- Fixed · **Preview now plays the camera's sound when there is no separate microphone**

  In projects that use a screen recording and a camera without a separate microphone, playback while editing used the screen recording's sound instead of the camera's. It now sounds the same as the exported video.

### November 8, 2026

- New · **Move what shows inside the cam box to keep your face centered**

  In cam properties, drag Horizontal or Vertical under Visible part to move the picture inside the box. It moves the way you see it even when flipped, and Center puts it back. Preview and export match.

- New · **Fast-forward through long parts instead of cutting them**

  Set a speed for parts of the video from chat or the cutzal command. The screen, the camera and clips that follow the speech speed up together and the video gets shorter. Up to 2x the speech keeps its pitch, and faster parts play without sound or captions. Preview, frame capture, the exported video and subtitles all use the same timing, and Undo brings the original speed back.

- Improved · **Stop a phone preview from your phone or your Mac**

  Tap Stop in the phone's Preview card, or Cancel in the toolbar above the timeline on your Mac. You can keep editing on the Mac, the phone and connected agents while it's being made.

- Improved · **Faster previews and exports for screen and camera layouts**

  Rounded screen and camera frames and background images are drawn more efficiently, so long videos preview and export much faster.

- Improved · **Properties are now grouped by where each setting applies**

  No more switching between Video, Audio and Info tabs. A track's settings stack on one screen in the order selection, whole track, project and info. Sources and the camera or screen in the viewer open the same track view, and with nothing selected the track list shows which settings are on and takes you straight to each track. The Info group starts folded.

- Fixed · **Rewind to earlier points even after changing an offset**

  Changing an offset no longer blocks rewinding to earlier edits. Rewinding to a point now brings back that point's offsets along with the cuts.

- Fixed · **Fixed the transcription options getting cut off in small windows**

  When the preview is small, the options scroll inside the card and the start button stays visible at the bottom.

### November 6, 2026

- New · **Hear the target loudness while you edit**

  Turn on Match target loudness in Properties › Audio to hear editing playback close to the export level (-14 LUFS). The export dialog checkbox and an agent's cutzal export follow the same project setting, and new projects start with it on.

- Improved · **'Transcribe with ElevenLabs' is now 'CutZal transcription'**

  CutZal transcription still uses ElevenLabs speech recognition and CutZal credits. It now always shows 'Most accurate', so you can compare it with free local transcription at a glance.

- Improved · **See motion items as they finish and remake only the ones that failed** (macOS)

  When you ask for motion graphics, each planned item appears as a row in the chat, and finished items can be previewed while the rest are still being made. If one fails, the rest still get made, and Make again or Make the remaining remakes just those items without planning again.

- Improved · **Free local transcription detects your video's language**

  When you choose free local transcription, CutZal listens to spoken parts of the video on your Mac and fills in the video language. If it isn't sure, it leaves the field empty for you to choose. The download is now about 1.9 GB because it includes the language detection model.

- Improved · **See when the agent has editing control**

  A border appears while the agent has editing control and clears when you take over. Your phone also shows when the agent is waiting.

- Improved · **See a heads-up before recording with the camera's built-in mic**

  If the camera's built-in mic is selected while another mic is connected, a note appears right above Start Recording. Choose Change mic next to it to jump to the mic menu at any time.

- Improved · **Clicking a track header or block opens that track's properties**

  Click a track header to open that track's settings in Properties, or click a block to see the settings for the row you clicked (camera, screen or microphone). Each setting shows whether it applies to the selection, the whole track or the project.

- Improved · **The agent asks once before placing work items** (macOS)

  In Always ask, one window lists the work items to place, and selecting a row previews it. Uncheck any you don't want. You can also stop it asking about placements for that conversation. Your phone gets the same list with previews, plus chat edit approvals.

### November 5, 2026

- New · **External agents can read your current selection**

  When you ask an external agent to edit here or this part, it can read your playhead and selected ranges or clip. Reading leaves playback and selections alone, and requests a fresh check if the saved edit changes.

- Improved · **Offsets move in 0.5s and 1-frame steps, and agents can set them in the open app**

  The sync section in Properties has 0.5s and 1-frame buttons. The number field applies once when you press Enter, and arrow keys move it too. When a connected agent fixes an offset, CutZal shows it right away without closing, and you can undo it.

- Improved · **Keep editing tracks while changes save**

  Hiding or locking tracks and editing text clips, media clips, caption style, or camera position now shows up right away without waiting for the save, and follow-up edits save in order. Cuts, trims, and review choices made during a save are no longer refused and apply as soon as the save finishes. Undo during a save steps back in the order you edited. If an edit can't be saved, only that edit is undone and you'll see why.

- Improved · **Finishing rules moved to Settings › Labs**

  The finishing rules area is no longer in the chat panel. Turn it on in Settings › Labs to review collected candidates and rules in one place, with a label showing whether each rule is applied. It starts off, and while it is off sound effects use the defaults. Saved rules are kept and come back when you turn it on again.

- Improved · **Chat answers come organized with headings and lists**

  Longer editing plans are split into short headings and numbered lists, and the phone chat now shows answers the same way as the desktop.

- Improved · **Placing motion graphics no longer adds a track each time**

  Motion graphics that don't overlap in time share one motion track, and a new track such as "Motion 2" appears only when they overlap. Timeline clips show the motion graphic's title instead of the file name. To merge tracks that have already piled up, choose Tidy motion tracks in a track header's right-click menu.

- Fixed · **Fixed misleading batch counts above the timeline for motion and sound effects**

  The progress row above the timeline now shows the same step as the toolbar, like "Rendering 81%".

- Fixed · **Motion and images move with the speech when you restore it**

  Restoring with X, Delete or N, lengthening boundary nudges and drags, restoring from review or the phone script, and chat restores now push later motion, image and text clips back by the restored length. A background that covers the whole video grows with it. If you restore speech inside a clip, images and text continue through it, while a video clip splits there and leaves the restored part empty. Cutting and then restoring the same spot puts the clips back where they were.

- Fixed · **Fixed ranges in chat answers showing as strikethrough**

  Ranges written with a tilde, like 1076\~1316s, now show as written. Bold text followed directly by a Korean particle no longer shows raw asterisks, and lines under a list item no longer merge into the line above.

### November 4, 2026

- Fixed · **Long exports with target loudness no longer fail at the very end**

  With loud recordings, the final check could reject the peaks and delete a render that took tens of minutes. CutZal now redoes only the audio, and if it still can't meet the targets, it keeps the file and shows the measured values. Final videos exported without target loudness also get any peaks above the limit lowered.

- Fixed · **Fixed speech lagging behind lips with the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 built-in mic**

  CutZal now compensates for the built-in mic's delay while recording. This applies to new recordings.

- Fixed · **Motion and images move with the speech however you cut**

  Delete, X, word deletion, boundary nudges and drags, phone script cuts and chat cuts now pull later motion, image and text clips back by the cut length, like Q and W. A background that covers the whole video shrinks with the cut instead of blocking it. When a locked track blocks a cut, CutZal tells you why instead of saying there is nothing to delete.

- Fixed · **The chat history no longer scrolls sideways**

  Long file paths and commands shown while the chat works are shortened within their line, and explanations and progress wrap to the chat width. Expand a line to see all of it.

### November 3, 2026

- New · **Take turns editing with an external agent**

  External sessions show editing control. Take over, make your changes and return to the same session. Your edits stay separate while a continuous set of agent edits can be undone together.

- New · **Take over from chat, fix things, and hand it back**

  While chat is working, choose Take over in the timeline toolbar to pause it. After your edits, choose Return to agent and the chat continues the same request in the same conversation without undoing your changes. You can also send from the waiting conversation to return it, or choose End to stop waiting.

- New · **Get a plan from chat without changing your edit**

  Choose Plan mode from the permission chip under the chat box. The AI checks your video and sources and answers with a plan and proposals only. It won't change your edit or make motion graphics. Apply a proposal yourself with Apply changes, or switch modes and send again to hand the work over.

- Improved · **Up arrow returns to the start of the current block**

  Replay the block you are in from its start. Press Up again at the start to go to the previous block. Down still moves to the next block.

- Improved · **Follow-up questions in the same chat use less**

  After you edit or move the playhead, follow-up requests no longer resend the original transcript, unchanged edit state, or earlier conversation turns the chat already has. Long videos get smaller requests, and long chats remember earlier context longer.

- Improved · **Pick the model and reasoning effort separately in the chat box**

  The chips under the chat box are now model, reasoning effort, and mode. Instead of Auto, each group marks a recommended model (Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol), and new chats start at the model's default effort. Switching models also switches to that model's default effort.

- Fixed · **Fixed stray code text in the timeline toolbar while making motion graphics**

  The authoring, saving, and rendering steps now read plainly, like "Rendering 81%".

- Fixed · **Fixed chat progress steps showing in Korean when the app is in English**

  While chat reviews cuts, the timeline toolbar and the chat progress line show steps like "Reviewing segment 2/5".

- Fixed · **Signing in with Google in Beta now returns you to the app**

  Before, signing in from Beta made the browser open the regular CutZal, so you had to paste the sign-in code yourself. Now the browser returns to the app you signed in from and finishes signing you in.

- Fixed · **Q, W, and X work again on restored speech**

  Trimming or cutting speech you brought back, including speech restored from chat, no longer silently does nothing. When there is nothing to trim, Q and W now tell you.

### November 2, 2026

- New · **Show vertical screen recordings and horizontal cameras in one video uncropped**

  When a recording's orientation differs from the video, Screen full and Cam full now show the whole recording with the background around it. In a horizontal video with a vertical screen recording, Split puts the camera on the left and the vertical screen on the right. A project recorded on a vertical monitor can now become a horizontal 1920×1080 video from chat or the cutzal command, and layouts that would be cropped switch to showing the whole recording.

- Improved · **Projects an agent copies now show up in Recent projects**

  A copy made with cutzal project clone goes to the top of Home and File › Open Recent. If CutZal is open, it shows up within a few seconds without a restart.

### November 1, 2026

- New · **External agents can catch up on your edits**

  Agents can read cuts, restores and review changes since their last revision. Conflicting edit requests now include the intervening changes.

- New · **The home screen shows your finalized videos and confirmed AI suggestions**

  The recent projects table shows each project's confirmed AI suggestions and last export date. Exports are counted from this update, and the record stays on your Mac.

- Improved · **Lists, tables, and code in chat answers are easier to read**

  Bold text, lists, headings, tables, and code in the agent's explanations and answers now show without the raw symbols. Links open in your default browser.

- Improved · **Explore related products and development services from the homepage**

  The homepage footer now links to Reinable's software development services, DevBrothers' AI education and tech content, DrawZal, and SnapZal.

- Improved · **Chat task details are easier to scan**

  Task details now show the model and elapsed time first. Expand Technical details to see tokens, cache usage, estimated API cost, and editing context.

### October 31, 2026

- New · **A free account is now needed to export videos**

  Editing still needs no account. When you choose Start export, a sign-up window opens, and the export continues with what you picked once you sign up or sign in. Signing up also gives you free transcription credits every month. A Mac that has signed in once can export offline, and exports continue when our account service can't be reached.

- New · **Save a caption look as the default for new projects**

  In the inspector, under Video › Video captions, click Set as default. The next project starts with that look, position, and size when you first turn on captions. Landscape and portrait videos keep separate defaults.

- Fixed · **CutZal comes to the front after you sign in in the browser**

  When you finish signing in in your browser, the CutZal window comes to the front, or opens if you had closed it. Pressing the open button on the sign-in page again no longer shows a failure message while you're signed in.

- Fixed · **You can sign in again after leaving browser sign-in**

  While signing in, Reopen browser opens the sign-in page again in the same spot, and Cancel sign-in stops it. Before, the app stayed in sign-in until you restarted it.

- Fixed · **Fixed motion graphics rendering failing to start on Mac**

### October 30, 2026

- New · **See where AI is working and what it just changed**

  The timeline and transcript show the current work area, with a brief highlight for applied cuts and restores. Go there by clicking the status text in the timeline toolbar or assigning a shortcut in settings. Queued instructions also appear as a count.

### October 29, 2026

- New · **Choose from four caption looks and set colors and box opacity**

  In the inspector, under Video › Video captions, pick Outline, Box, Bold outline, or Shadow, then change the text color, outline or box color, and box opacity. Long lines now wrap between words.

- Improved · **The AI connection cards now explain sign-in and provider terms**

  In Settings › Agent, the Claude Code and Codex cards now say that CutZal never receives your sign-in details, runs your installed program as is, and that each provider's terms apply. The Claude usage note now covers chat too.

- Improved · **Send feedback opens a form in your language**

  Send feedback in Settings › Storage · Privacy opens the form that matches your app language, Korean or English.

### October 27, 2026

- New · **Clone a long video project as a vertical 1080×1920 short**

  Run cutzal project clone --canvas 1080x1920 to make a vertical project of the same media. Preview, capture and export use the vertical frame, and subtitles break into shorter lines. The original project stays as it is.

- New · **Put titles on the video as text clips and edit them in place**

  Click a text clip in the viewer to open it in Properties, or double-click to start typing. Change its words, per-line size, vertical position, line colors, weight and shadow. Wrap words in asterisks, like \*word\*, to draw them in an accent color, and turn on a progress bar under the text that fills while the clip plays. Preview and export draw the same image. The subtitle track can also keep a list of spelling fixes such as '클라우드 코드 → Claude Code'.

- New · **Start Auto cut automatically when transcription finishes**

  On the transcription screen, turn on Start Auto cut when transcription finishes and Auto cut begins as soon as the transcript is ready. It's available when Claude is connected and is off by default.

- New · **See what changed by date and version on the release notes page**

  At cutzal.ai/changelog/en, Beta changes are listed by date and each stable version has its own page. Open it from Release notes in the docs menu or the link at the end of the update notes, or subscribe with RSS.

- Improved · **See your default cut and what to do next right after transcription**

  The top of the chat panel shows the original and current length and how many spots to review. Start review and Export keep you going without using your subscription. Auto cut sits below under Refine further.

- Improved · **Drag the playhead to an edge to keep scrolling the timeline**

  Hold the playhead at either edge to scrub beyond the visible timeline. The playhead also stays clear of track names and controls.

- Improved · **Copy the install command when Claude Code isn't installed**

  In Settings › Agent or the Connect AI window, choose Copy command and paste it into the terminal to install. The same spot notes that a paid Claude plan is required.

- Improved · **Stopping Auto cut now explains what happens to your cuts**

  Cuts it changed go back to how they were, and Resume remaining analysis skips sections that were already judged.

- Improved · **See your remaining transcription time more clearly**

  When choosing a transcription method, see the time you have left in hours and minutes. Once it is used up, the balance shows 0 min.

- Fixed · **Fixed caption dragging and position changes that drifted or left a gray box**

  Captions now follow your pointer while you drag, stop at the edge of the frame, and stay where you drop them. Position, size, and style changes show up right away.

- Fixed · **Fixed some buttons jumping sideways while pressed**

- Fixed · **Free local transcription now uses the language spoken in your video**

  When you choose free local transcription, pick the video language on the same screen. CutZal remembers it for your next video. Before, videos in other languages were transcribed as Korean.

- Fixed · **Reopening a transcribed video you hadn't edited no longer cuts some speech**

  Lines followed by a long cough or typing sound were removed entirely on reopen. Projects now reopen with the same cuts as the first time.

- Fixed · **Move to the previous or next block with one arrow press**

  Up and Down now navigate directly between timeline blocks, without extra presses or black previews caused by landing in deleted sections. Clicking the playhead also closes an open menu.

- Fixed · **Sign-in errors on the transcription screen now show cleanly in your app language**

- Fixed · **Fixed blue selection appearing over the preview** (macOS)

  Timeline selection and text copying continue to work as expected.

- Fixed · **Click empty tracks to move the playhead**

  Click a position you skimmed in an empty video or sound-effect track to continue playback from there.

### October 26, 2026

- New · **See how much you changed the AI cut**

  Above the final transcript you see how many places the AI cut and its three longest cuts. After you export a final video, CutZal shows how many cuts you restored and how many more places you cut, and Settings › Memory compares past videos.

- New · **Jump to a playback position by entering a time**

  Click the current time below the preview and enter a time such as 15:30. The time follows the Source or Finished timeline view.

- Improved · **Usage statistics now include a summary of how much you changed the AI cut**

  When you export a final video, CutZal sends only counts such as how many places the AI cut, how many you restored, and how many more you cut. Which parts you changed, the transcript, and file names are not sent. Turn it off with Send usage statistics in Settings › Storage · Privacy.

- Fixed · **Fixed playback speed controls in fullscreen**

  Use the speed button at the bottom right to choose a preset or adjust playback with the slider and plus/minus buttons.

### October 25, 2026

- New · **Find the current playhead in the timeline**

  Click Playhead in the timeline toolbar to scroll to the current playback position while keeping your zoom and selection.

- New · **Confirm finishing preferences for your next edit**

  Review, edit, and restore finishing rules in chat. Confirmed sound effect limits guide the next batch, with warnings before export. Motion and subtitle preferences are kept as references.

- New · **Check your final video's loudness and intervals that need review**

  Choose target loudness when exporting. CutZal checks the finished file's loudness, true peak, long silences and black intervals, and shows where to review.

- New · **Press F to preview in fullscreen**

  Press F while editing to expand the preview, then F or Esc to return. Your playback position and speed stay the same.

- Improved · **Split subtitles into readable cues**

  Subtitles follow word timing and phrase boundaries while keeping number-unit pairs and names together. Cut words stay excluded and captions follow the edited video.

- Fixed · **Graphics follow the video when you trim with Q/W**

  Later graphics move with the cut, and trimming through a graphic preserves the remaining media timing. If a lock or unsupported placement prevents a safe edit, the cut stops with an explanation.

- Fixed · **Fixed screen flashes when scrubbing across motion clips**

- Fixed · **Mirror the camera in full-screen layouts**

  Change horizontal mirroring in camera properties even in full screen. Switching between picture-in-picture, split and full-screen layouts preserves each existing segment's mirror setting.

- Fixed · **Deleting a short fragment no longer brings back hidden silence**

  Range cuts after AI edits preserve previously trimmed silence. Existing projects keep their playback unchanged until you edit them.

- Fixed · **Show expired Claude logins in connection status**

  When chat rejects a login, settings also show that login is required. Confirm after signing in again to resume the waiting request.

- Fixed · **Keep edit targets when resuming after login**

  Target locations, notes, and frame-view options are preserved when resuming a failed request after logging in again.

- Fixed · **Reduced cut pauses and motion transition flashes during faster playback**

  Fixed the underlying video briefly appearing between motion clips and finished motion clips restarting. Normal-speed review keeps its existing precision.

- Fixed · **Keep marked locations and notes when switching AI providers**

  Continuing a failed request with another AI now carries over the pending edit list and frame review requests. Requests without a list also keep their original selected ranges.

### October 24, 2026

- New · **Copy project paths from a simpler menu**

  Copy your project path to share with Claude Code or Codex. Duplication is now called 'Duplicate edit', and comparison and recovery actions are grouped under 'Recovery tools'.

- New · **Expand the chat input to read and edit long instructions**

  Click the expand button on the chat input to open the same input large in the middle of the screen. Your text and attachments stay put, and Esc or a click outside brings you back. The expanded input also shows how many characters you have used.

- New · **Place captions on your video**

  Use Video captions in the inspector to show your existing transcript and adjust position, size, and style. Enabled captions also appear in the finished video and composed frame captures.

- New · **Gently soften skin texture and beard shadow** (macOS)

  Select a camera source and open Properties > Video > Portrait retouch. Choose a strength and compare two seconds before preparing the full source. Preview and export use the same retouched video, and you can turn the effect off anytime.

- Improved · **Check for updates automatically every 30 minutes**

  CutZal also checks when your computer wakes or you return to the app if the last check was at least 30 minutes ago. Updates download automatically and install when you restart or quit the app.

- Improved · **Usage statistics settings are now a single switch**

  Turn Send usage statistics on or off in Settings › Storage · Privacy. Expand the row below it to see what's sent. Save diagnostics and feedback are under Diagnostics and feedback on the same page.

- Improved · **See what the chat is doing as it works**

  The agent's explanations and tool runs appear in order in the conversation. Click a tool line to open its full input and result. Model, token, and estimated cost details stay folded under Task details.

- Fixed · **Reading earlier messages no longer jumps to the bottom while the chat works**

  The chat follows new content only while you are at the bottom. When you scroll up or open something to read, it stays where you are. Click the down arrow button to jump back to the latest.

- Fixed · **Fixed long freezes when opening large projects**

### October 23, 2026

- New · **Collect spots while reviewing and send them to chat at once**

  Select a spot and press C to add it to the chat send list with a note. Results come back for each spot, and anything not done is added back to the list.

- New · **Redirect the chat mid-run with ⌘Enter**

  While a run is going, type a correction and press ⌘Enter to stop it and rerun in the same conversation following your correction. Redirect with this on a queued instruction does the same. Edits already applied stay and can be undone from checkpoints.

- New · **Instructions sent while the chat works now wait in a queue**

  Type and press Enter while a run is going, and the instruction is queued and sent in order once the run finishes. If a run fails or leaves an edit to review, the queue pauses until you choose Continue sending. You can edit, remove, or clear queued instructions.

- Improved · **Hear the spots to review right after an AI cut**

  When an AI cut finishes, a notice at the bottom shows how many spots to review with Start review. You can also press ⇧]. The Export window points out Listen first spots you have not heard yet, and Review now takes you straight there. You can still export as usual.

- Improved · **See at a glance what is locked while chat edits**

  The timeline toolbar shows the chat model, the current step, the elapsed time, and Editing locked, and the timeline is hatched. Choose Take over right from the toolbar. On your phone the script stays visible, and only the cut and confirm buttons turn off, with the reason.

- Improved · **Queue instructions from your phone while the chat works**

  Sending from phone chat during a run adds the instruction to the queue on your Mac. You can remove queued instructions, clear them, and continue a paused queue from your phone.

- Improved · **See where your audio goes when you choose how to transcribe**

  The bottom of the Transcription needed panel now shows where the audio goes for the method you pick and where the transcript is saved. Choose Learn more to open the privacy details. The Auto cut dialog now says that it doesn't send the video or audio.

- Improved · **Requests stopped by a sign-out continue after you sign in again**

  If Claude Code or Codex signs you out, the chat tells you. After you sign in, choose I signed in again to resend that request once in the same chat. If you hit a limit and the other engine is connected, you can continue in a new chat.

- Fixed · **Fixed audio arriving ahead of lip movement in DJI Osmo Pocket 4 recordings**

  CutZal now compensates for the camera's delay while recording. This applies to new recordings.

- Fixed · **Screen and camera sync now survives switching the base audio and back**

  Silent screen and camera takes no longer lose their alignment when you change the base audio.

### October 22, 2026

- Improved · **Original-quality exports follow YouTube's recommended keyframe interval**

  Quality is slightly higher, and files are usually a little smaller.

- Improved · **See why the AI stopped and what to do next**

  CutZal now tells you whether you were signed out, the connection is missing, or Claude or ChatGPT had an error, along with the next step.

- Improved · **Instructions sent before connecting go out once you connect**

  If you press Send before Claude Code or Codex is connected, the instruction stays in the input and is sent after a short notice once you connect. Choose Don't send to stop it.
