We’ve made it even easier to quickly open and start working on existing videos in Detail — click on any video in your Detail Library and hit “Create Detail Project from Video”.
This will open a brand new project and drop your video right into the timeline.

We love new features as much as the next team but no experience is complete without a bit of polish.
With that in mind, we’ve taken some time to focus on a few quality of life updates so your workflow is as delightful as it is efficient.

To start, we’ve made it easier to tell when you’re in record or edit mode.
Now, when you move the playhead along the timeline, the accent colors switch from pink to purple — a little visual cue to let you know you’re looking at recorded clips instead of live camera previews.

The record button also switches to a “Record Mode” button with a little camera icon.
Clicking this button in Edit mode will move your playhead to the end of the timeline, ready to record a new clip.
Hitting this button again will start recording, just like before.

Now, when the playhead reaches the end of the timeline, the whole timeline scrolls horizontally so you'll never lose the playhead again!

Here’s one for all the AI highlights fans. ✨
If you accidentally upload the wrong video from your Library or realize halfway through that you wanted to make a change, you can now cancel your in-progress uploads.

And that’s not all. Here’s a couple of other updates to make your experience a little better:
🏷️ When exporting a video, you can now name your file in the export settings options.
🪧 We’ve improved the canvas menu buttons and added new tooltips to help you find your way around.

This is the first Detail update of 2023 and we're just getting started.
Here's a little preview of some of the really exciting updates we'll be releasing in the next few weeks. 👀

In the next update, you'll be able to add a duration to your markers so it’s super clear exactly which parts of your video they relate to.
Plus you can easily export all your markers as short clips for social media!

Detail already harnesses the power of AI to generate super accurate transcriptions and subtitles for your videos.
But up until now, this feature was only available for exported videos.

Very soon, we’re bringing transcriptions into the Mac app.
You’ll be able to generate a quality transcript inside your Detail project and then use that transcript to move around the timeline while you’re editing.

This is just the beginning though — with transcriptions in Detail, we’ll be able to unlock all kinds of new workflows that make traditional editing a thing of the past.
Keep your eyes peeled for future updates and download Detail 3.8 on the App Store:
