What's New

v0.1.68 July 12, 2026 Latest

Background music. Add a song right in the review screen — drag to place it, trim the start or end, pick how loud it sits under your narration. It ducks and fades automatically, and works whether you're vlogging, narrating a voiceover, or building a pure b-roll montage.
Smoother review flow when no talking-to-camera footage is found — you now get the same full review screen as b-roll mode instead of an immediate build.

v0.1.67 July 8, 2026

More reliable rendering. Fixed a case where a render could fail right away if your footage folder happened to contain a video you'd already exported. Slice now skips its own past exports automatically.

v0.1.66 July 8, 2026

Rotate any clip in the review screen. Right-click a sideways clip — whether it's your talking-to-camera footage or b-roll — and rotate it 90° before you build.
Smoother plan upgrades and billing behind the scenes.

v0.1.65 July 7, 2026

Offline Mode. Render entirely on your Mac with no internet connection — your subscription unlocks it, and no footage or frames ever leave your computer while it's on. Find it in Settings.

v0.1.64 July 7, 2026

Fixed a crash when building a Voiceover Slice right after the review screen.
Voiceover captions are now perfectly in sync, using the same word-level timing precision as Vlog mode.
Fixed re-recording a new voiceover over the same footage sometimes showing captions from a previous take.
Fixed b-roll not slowing down for high-frame-rate (slow-motion) clips in Voiceover mode, in both the video and the Premiere/DaVinci Resolve export.
Fixed the review screen sometimes splitting a Voiceover recording into too many small sections, or leaving one section with barely any b-roll.
Fixed the progress bar looking stuck during a Voiceover render.

v0.1.63 July 7, 2026

Slice of Life is now a subscription. Basic ($10/mo, 60 credits) and Pro ($20/mo, 150 credits) — manage your plan, see your renewal date, and upgrade anytime from Settings.
Pro unlocks the full studio: 4K export, all 3 edit modes (Vlog, Voiceover, B-roll), every caption font, unlimited Shorts, and the YouTube kit. Basic covers Vlog mode at 1080p with the essentials.
Fixed a bug where a manually-rotated b-roll clip could lose that rotation in an auto-generated Short.

v0.1.62 July 5, 2026

No more blur bars in vertical mode. Vertical exports and Shorts now fill the frame edge-to-edge. Talking-to-camera clips get a smooth crop that follows your face as you move.
New: Auto mode. A one-click button next to Build Your Slice — pick your footage and it renders immediately with sensible defaults, no settings to configure.
Organized exports. Each render now gets its own folder — your video, captions, and any Shorts all land together in one place.
More Shorts, better picks. Shorts selection now favors including more good moments instead of only the single punchiest one.
Fixed a caption bug that could show garbled, overlapping text right at a scene cut.

v0.1.61 July 5, 2026

Create Shorts automatically. Flip on Create Shorts before you build, and when your vlog finishes you'll also get up to 10 vertical (9:16) Shorts cut from your best talking-to-camera moments — with the same b-roll from your vlog, and captions if you have them turned on. They land right next to your video, ready to post.
More free-trial credits. The free trial now comes with 10 credits instead of 5, so there's more room to try things out before you buy.

v0.1.60 July 4, 2026

Fixed rotated review clips. Rotating a clip in the review screen no longer leaves blank space in its thumbnail.
Credit cost is now based on clip count instead of footage length, which better reflects usage for most vlogs.

v0.1.59 July 3, 2026

Clearer free-trial experience. The credits screen now points trial users straight to upgrading instead of showing a top-up option meant for full licenses.

v0.1.58 July 2, 2026

Cleaner Premiere & Resolve exports. Slow-motion b-roll now exports at the correct speed with its audio intact, so your timeline in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve matches the finished video.
Sharper captions. Caption timing lines up more precisely with your words, especially in slower or uneven speech.

v0.1.57 June 30, 2026

Snappier openings. Talking clips now start right when you begin speaking — the camera setup and walk-in before your first word are trimmed automatically.
More reliable edit restore. Re-rendering the same footage brings your review-screen tweaks back cleanly, without shuffling your sections around.

v0.1.56 June 29, 2026

Up-to-date help. Refreshed the in-app guide and support assistant so they reflect the latest features — photos, slow motion, and the three modes (Vlog, Voiceover, B-roll).
Polish under the hood. Complete open-source acknowledgements and additional security hardening.

v0.1.55 June 29, 2026

Photos in your slices. Drop photos in with your footage and they become smooth Ken Burns b-roll — a slow pan and zoom that keeps the subject framed.
Slow motion plays in slow motion. Slow-mo clips now actually slow down on screen, with the audio stretched to match.
Smoother cutaways. Fixed a brief freeze at the end of narration sections and tightened the lip-sync when returning from a b-roll cutaway.
Your edits are remembered. Re-render the same footage and your review-screen changes — reorders, montages, exclusions, captions — come back automatically.

v0.1.54 June 26, 2026

New B-roll only mode. Got a folder of footage with no talking? Pick "B-roll" and the app compiles it into a montage — with its own review screen to reorder, drop, or rotate clips before it builds.
YouTube kit. After a render, get title ideas, a ready-to-paste description, thumbnail text, and clickable chapters that match your video exactly — built from what you actually said.
Rotate any clip. Right-click a clip in the review screen to rotate it 90°, in both vlog and voiceover modes, with preview thumbnails that match the final result.
Polish. Smoother done screen, clearer mode buttons, and easier drag-to-reorder.

v0.1.53 June 21, 2026

Extra b-roll becomes a montage. When a section has more footage than fits, the extra clips now play as a b-roll montage with sound — instead of being left out.
Rotate any clip. Right-click a clip in the review screen to rotate it 90°, and the preview thumbnails now match exactly how each clip will appear.
See clip names. Right-clicking a clip shows its filename, so you always know which shot you're looking at.

v0.1.52 June 19, 2026

A nicer install. The installer window now has a polished, branded look that makes dragging Slice of Life into your Applications folder clearer.

v0.1.51 June 17, 2026

Smarter b-roll cutaways. Your b-roll now cuts in at the best moment — when you're settled in the frame and in the middle of the action — instead of starting at the first second of each clip.
More reliable rotation. Landscape b-roll stays right-side up more consistently.

v0.1.50 June 16, 2026

Behind-the-scenes improvements to security and reliability. Nothing changes in how you make a Slice — just a stronger, safer foundation under the hood.

v0.1.49 June 15, 2026

Simpler setup — no more picking a length. Your Slice is now as long as it naturally is: all your talking, with b-roll cut in around it. One less decision before you build.
Pacing now shapes your b-roll. Tight keeps your cuts quick and fits in more of your footage; Relaxed lets each shot linger. Choose the feel you want.
Your full narration is always kept — every talking moment plays start to finish, never trimmed to hit a target.
Fixed a snag where the Re-render button could get stuck after re-editing twice in a row.

v0.1.48 June 15, 2026

Build b-roll montages. In the review screen you can now turn part of your Slice into a pure montage — a run of footage with no narration. Remove the talking clip from a section, or drag clips together, and they'll play as their own sequence with the sound turned up.
A gentle cue when your footage is ready. A soft chime plays the moment analysis finishes and your review screen is ready.
Steadier length recommendation and behind-the-scenes cleanups for more reliable clip ordering.

v0.1.47 June 14, 2026

In-app help, right when you need it. A new help button answers questions about the app and can explain why your video turned out the way it did.
Voiceover mode now has a review screen. Record your narration, then review how your footage is cut beneath it — reorder clips, drop the ones you don't want, and fix caption typos before you build.
Pacing now shapes your voiceover edit. Tight, Balanced, and Relaxed control how long each b-roll clip plays under your narration.
Smarter voiceover cuts that group your footage by what you're talking about, plus a fix so re-editing a voiceover video keeps its sound and captions.

v0.1.46 June 13, 2026

Your full talking moments are kept. Narration clips now play in their entirety — including your sign-off at the end — instead of being trimmed to fit a target length (unless you pick a length shorter than recommended).
Reorder and reclassify in the review screen. Drag a whole section to move it, and right-click any clip to switch it between narration and b-roll.
Tidier review screen with a clear "How this works" guide, plus fixes for caption timing and audio sync on longer clips.

v0.1.45 June 13, 2026

Edit your captions before they're burned in. The review screen now lets you fix any transcription typos right in each section.
Multi-day footage gets the review screen too. Trips and footage spanning several days now flow as one continuous timeline you can review and reorder.
Fixed a day-detection quirk where a single day filmed into the evening could be mistaken for two — it now reads your local time correctly.

v0.1.44 June 13, 2026

B-roll now plays in the order you filmed it within each part of your story — no more shots jumping out of sequence.
The review screen shows your clips in recording order, so what you see is what you get.
Noisy clips no longer turn into fake narration. Wind or water that gets misheard as speech is now correctly kept as b-roll instead of becoming a captioned talking section.

v0.1.43 June 13, 2026

Review your Slice before it renders. After analysis, you can reorder or remove b-roll clips in each section before the video is built.
Smarter clip ordering for mixed-camera setups. Footage from cameras that mislabel timestamps (like DJI) now sorts into the right place in your story.
Sign-offs don't get cut off. The last narration clip now trims to your natural closing words instead of the densest speech window.
Activity breaks land in the right section. B-roll filmed between activities now groups with the section it belongs to, not the one before it.
Sparse clips stay as b-roll. A clip where you say 7 words across a 58-second clip no longer gets mistakenly treated as narration.

v0.1.42 June 11, 2026

Fixed the macOS "could not verify" warning some users saw on first launch. The app now sails through Gatekeeper on every macOS version.
Read your script while you record. In Voiceover mode, a new "Your script" button shows your notepad right under the record button — write on the home screen, read it while narrating.

v0.1.41 June 9, 2026

Re-edits keep their own files. Re-editing a Slice no longer overwrites an earlier re-edit from the same day.
Cleaner captions for clips with multiple people talking.
Smarter footage scanning — the app now ignores its own previous renders if they end up in your footage folder.

v0.1.40 June 8, 2026

Clicking the dock icon reopens the app after closing the window.
Multiple Slices per day — renders made on the same day each keep their own file instead of replacing each other.
Layout polish on the home screen.

v0.1.39 June 8, 2026

Caption styles render in their real fonts — every caption style now looks the way it should in your finished video.
First caption line no longer goes missing at the start of a Slice.

v0.1.38 June 8, 2026

New: Voiceover mode. Record a narration in the app and Slice of Life cuts all your footage as b-roll underneath it — perfect for trips and "day in my life" edits. Pause and resume while recording.
Smoother first install with no security prompts.
