Uploads that actually finish • Large videos now upload. If you tried to post a long or high quality clip before and it failed instantly, that was us, not your connection. Your video is now sent in pieces instead of all at once. • Uploads retry by themselves. Lose signal partway and it picks up where it left off, costing you seconds instead of the whole upload. • You can see what is happening. The screen now tells you which part is sending and how long is left, instead of sitting on one message. Self Boops • Boost your own entry up to five times a day, one per minute. Your button shows how many you have left and counts down to the next one. • Self boops count toward contest scoring, so backing your own work is worth something. Cover • Choose the exact frame your video shows in the feed. Scrub to the moment you want and the preview follows you, so you are picking a picture rather than guessing at a timestamp. • Before this, the app always grabbed a frame from the first few seconds, which meant a video opening on a dark shot showed a dark shot. Captions • Videos now get automatic captions, so your work reaches people watching with the sound off. Going live is within reach • Live streaming used to need ten videos and five thousand followers, which almost nobody could reach. It now needs three videos and no follower minimum. A cleaner look • One consistent icon set across the editor and the video controls, so everything looks the same on every phone instead of changing with your device. Fixes • Contests that had ended no longer show as still running. A closed contest could display a countdown and invite entries that would never be judged. • The buttons beside every video now line up the same way whether the video is yours or someone else's.
