What's New in ByteWave

1.3.8

October 12, 2026

ByteWave stands with Ukraine. We condemn the Trump administration’s decision to ease sanctions on Russian diesel sales. Lowering fuel prices does not justify helping finance Russia’s war against Ukraine. We urge our own government to reverse this decision. Reports of fuel shipments from South Korean ports to Russia raise serious concerns. We urge South Korea’s government to ensure its trade does not help sustain Russia’s war against Ukraine. A special thank you to Kael for suggesting caption generation from any audio, not just a video’s audio. That was the very first user feedback ByteWave ever received. You can now generate captions from your audio clips, too. Also in this update: • Caption templates: Clean, Editorial, Bold Stack, Soft Pop, Marker, and Typewriter. Start with a look, then change it to suit your video. • Automatic word emphasis, live previews, and more control over individual words. • Improved caption timing to help words appear when you actually say them. • Refined caption editing controls. • Accessibility improvements and localization fixes throughout the editor. • Fixes for video importing on Mac. UI improvements this is literally my huckleberry version. Edit locally on-device. Make something real, not reel.
