Beat Motion Studio

What's new in version 1.5 - Made for iPad: In landscape, the preview sits on the left with every setting beside it – transition, filter, effect, overlays, format and labels are all visible at once, no switching. In portrait, a wide centred column. On iPhone everything stays as it was. - Purchased tier reliably recognised: After launch, the app could temporarily – in rare cases permanently – run as the free version even though Standard or Pro had been bought: export limited to 720p, logo at the end. The app now remembers your purchased tier and only applies the free-tier limits once the purchase has actually been verified. If a purchase is still waiting for approval (Family Sharing, your bank), the app now says so instead of silently doing nothing. If this affected you: Settings → Restore Purchases. - Cleaner export area: Below the preview there is now one main button, “Save to Photos”, with Instagram, Facebook and Share as a compact row underneath. Save project and Save style have become small text links. - Noticeably sharper preview: It is now rendered at a resolution that matches your device. Until now the preview was internally only 568×320 pixels – soft on iPhone, blurry on iPad. - Preview more than twice as fast: On first processing, source clips are converted once into lightweight preview copies. Cutting and preview work with those; the export still uses the originals at full quality. From start to finished preview now takes about half the time. - No more black frame when changing transition, format or orientation: The preview keeps playing, the new version is built in the background – starting with the section around the current playhead – and then swapped in seamlessly. - Smoother editor: roughly double the playback frame rate, and the freeze after switching orientation is fixed. - Changing the export resolution no longer re-renders the preview. - Strict timeline: A previously hand-saved arrangement could silently override the mode – fixed. Transitions at the start of a clip used to silently become hard cuts (Bloom, for example, only kicked in from the middle) – they now get the lead-in they need. - Export starts immediately: Until now, up to 20 seconds could pass before progress appeared. The export also now guarantees every cut is included, even when a clip loads slowly from iCloud. - Editor timeline: tiles proportional to cut length, no more jitter on short cuts; more cuts fit on the iPhone screen. - iPhone without Pro stays in portrait: On iPhone, landscape only makes sense in the Video Editor, which is part of Pro. Nothing changes on iPad. - First install: The gallery closed again right after opening if photo access had not yet been granted – fixed. - Various smaller fixes.
