The opacity of brushes is switched between the previous 1.4 version and the current one from 1.5 after 65. The higher the opacity (closer to 0), the higher the load, causing delays and slowness with the pencil and brush tools. If you want to avoid delays and slowdowns with the pencil and brush tools, it is recommended to use opacity as close to 100 as possible. -The action of the Back button from the Edit screen has been changed to wait until saving is complete. Therefore, the Back button cannot be operated until saving is completed. Please note that this is not a malfunction. -The behavior of the screen transition to the edit screen has been modified to be more stable. -When Duplicating a video, there was a case that the video would not be saved and would be blank, but this has been corrected. -Fixed some minor issues, such as canceling during video export. -Safety has been improved.
