Changelog

We rebuilt the engine that decides how your clips are framed. Instead of sampling a few frames and averaging the crop marks, Choppity now tracks every person continuously through your video, detects who's speaking, and frames them - with a camera that moves like an operator, not an algorithm.

• Speaker-aware framing - the frame follows the person talking, not just the nearest face

• Steadier shots - seated speakers stay locked in frame; the camera only moves when the subject really moves

• Proper split screens - two-person podcasts and webcasts stack cleanly, with each speaker cropped to their own camera, no seams or sidebars from Zoom-style recordings

• Sharper cut detection - scene changes are caught more reliably, so framing resets exactly where your video cuts and nowhere else

• Consistent angles - when your video returns to a camera angle, the framing returns to the exact same crop

• Less letterboxing - the engine finds a usable close-up in far more shots

This applies to all newly analysed videos automatically - no settings to change.

Handling high-resolution, long-form footage shouldn't require compressing your files or dropping quality before uploading. We’ve massive upgraded our media processing pipeline so you can drop in your raw, original files without breaking a sweat.

New Feature: High-Res & Heavyweight File Uploads

• 4K Resolution Support: You can now upload and process full 4K resolution videos directly into Choppity to ensure your short clips retain crisp, maximum visual quality.

• 10GB File Size Limit: Upload limits have been boosted up to 10GB per file, making it effortless to process multi-hour podcast episodes, livestreams, and uncompressed high-bitrate video files.

Ending your clips with a strong call-to-action or branded sign-off is key to turning casual viewers into loyal followers. We’ve added a dedicated Outro section to the Customize workflow so you can seamlessly attach branded endings to your generated clips.

Custom & Pre-Designed Outros

• Branded Outros: Add a custom logo, custom background color, and your brand name or tagline (e.g., "#1 video clipper") to generate matching outros across pre-designed styles.

• Animated Style Options: Choose from multiple entry animations including Fade in, Fade up, Fade down, and Bounce.

• Upload Custom Video Outros: Have a pre-made outro clip? Easily upload your own custom video file to append directly to the end of your generated clips.

We’ve introduced Episode Trailers to help you automatically generate fast-paced, ~60-second cold opens that highlight the absolute best moments of your episode to post on social media.

New Feature: Automatic Episode Trailer Generation

• Fast-Paced Cold Opens: Automatically generate a ~60s teaser video highlighting the top moments from your full-length episode.

• Audience-Targeted Hooking: Define who your viewers are, what they want to achieve, and what they struggle with to tailor the trailer directly to your target audience.

• Custom Prompts & Audio: Add optional custom instructions (e.g., "Include the story about the first investor meeting") and attach background music like Power Pulse to set the tone.

• Seamless Output: Generated trailers land straight in your clip dashboard with a dedicated "Trailer" badge, ready to edit, download, or schedule.

Maintaining a consistent brand identity across all your short-form videos shouldn't require setting up styles from scratch every time. Our new dedicated Brand Template Manager gives you a central hub to build, organize, and tweak your global styling presets with granular precision.

✨ New Feature: Dedicated Brand Template Manager

Centralized Brand Hub: Access a dedicated Brand template page from the sidebar to manage all your global styling presets in one central location.

Granular Preset Settings: Easily configure caption transitions, orientation & framing, background overlays, custom logos, music, and AI hook styles across your templates.

Updating caption styles and hook designs one clip at a time can slow down your publishing momentum. We've upgraded the Customize step so you can set up all your visual preferences upfront before generation, saving you valuable editing time downstream.

✨ New Feature: Full Customization Control Before Generation

Pre-Generation Styling: You now have full control over caption styles, fonts, colors, outlines, transitions, and hooks directly on the Customize step.

Save Editing Time: Apply your exact visual preferences before generating your clips, eliminating the need to update individual clips one by one after they're created.

✨ New Feature: Tagging & Tag Filtering

Tag Your Clips: Easily add custom tags (like #2026 highlight) directly to individual clips to categorize them by theme, project, or release status.

Instant Tag Search: Filter your entire clip library with the new "Filter by tags" dropdown menu to find exact clips in seconds.
