Changelog - HyperCut

0.4.0 — 2026-04-10

HyperCut Branding & Architectural Sync

This release completes the transformation of the project to HyperCut, synchronized with the latest Rust/Wasm engine and parent media bridge.

Implemented Parent Media Bridge for cut.hyper-creator.com authorized cross-origin communication.

Full rebranding from OpenCut to HyperCut across the entire UI and metadata.
Stabilized development environment by migrating to Bun and fixing Wasm path mappings.
Restored HyperCut Premium Export Button with dynamic gradients and micro-animations.

Resolved hydration errors in the preview toolbar by implementing Radix UI asChild pattern.

0.2.0 — 2026-03-01

This release adds the foundation for motion and effects, alongside many improvements & fixes.

Keyframe animation system for animating element properties over time.
Entirely new efects system. Effects can be applied per-clip or added as standalone elements on the timeline (with our first effect: Blur!)
Added a changelog page to the site.
Ripple editing mode.

New text elements no longer have a black background by default.
Selection outline in the preview is now dashed.
Clips sitting next to each other on the timeline now have a small gap between them so selected clips are always clearly visible.
Press Escape to deselect the current element.

Fixed an issue where click-and-drag selection on one timeline track could accidentally select items from the track below.
Audio could flicker or cut out at the start of playback when certain elements were selected. The scheduler now recovers from timing slips without losing audio.
Dragging a clip onto the timeline and pressing Ctrl+Z now removes both the clip and the track it created in one step, instead of requiring two undos.
A few values in the properties panel were previously showing incorrect values. This has been fixed.
Timeline trim handles now sit outside the clip instead of inside them, so the clip's visible area accurately represents where it starts and ends.
Clips being dragged on the timeline now render on top of other clips instead of underneath them.
Undoing a trim-from-start operation now correctly restores the clip to its original position and length, instead of stretching it to the right.
Resizing a clip on the timeline would deselect it when the mouse was released. The clip now stays selected after a resize.
Resizing a clip could extend it past another clip on the same track, causing an overlap. The resize now stops at the next clip's edge.
Dragging a clip to a different track would deselect it on drop. The clip stays selected after moving.
Finishing a resize or drag with the mouse over empty track space would deselect the clip.

0.1.0 — 2026-02-23

This first release focuses on making editing faster, clearer, and more reliable for day-to-day use.

Rebuilt the properties panel from scratch. Number inputs now support math expressions and click-drag scrubbing instead of just typing values in.
The properties panel went from a flat list of basic text styles to organized sections: transform, blending, typography, spacing, and background controls. Text elements finally have position, scale, and rotation.
New color picker with eyedropper, opacity control, and multiple color formats.
Bookmarks now support notes, color labels, and optional duration to plan scenes more clearly.
Move, scale, and rotate elements directly in the preview panel.
Blend modes (Multiply, Screen, Overlay, etc). Only available on text elements for now.
Paste images, videos, or audio from your clipboard straight into the editor.
Hold Shift while moving or resizing to temporarily turn off snapping.

Expanded font selection from 7 to over 1,000.
Fonts load much faster.
All asset panel tabs now share a consistent layout.
Text rendering properly supports multiple lines, line height, and letter spacing.
Better contrast in the dark theme.
