New and improved

  • Feature - a GitHub bug report form asks for the version, build, device and steps.
  • Feature - a GitHub feature and effect request form makes requests clear.
  • Feature - a GitHub issue chooser points to private security reporting and the guide; blank issues are off.
  • Feature - Text Along Path sets text along an arc, a circle or the outline of the layer beneath it.
  • Feature - Puppet Pin bends a layer with up to 32 pins that can be animated.
  • Feature - Crop for pictures and videos: drag the corners, edges or whole frame, pick a ratio, and animate it.
  • Feature - a Pivot tab in Transform with a marker you can drag; moving the pivot keeps the layer where it is.
  • Feature - in-app updates with a progress bar, a check that the file is genuine, automatic retry and resume.
  • Improvement - the Rotate tab always shows the 360 degree dial, also on tilted layers.
  • Improvement - the selection dots have a bigger grab area and work at the screen edge.
  • Improvement - the Size ruler keeps gliding after a flick.
  • Improvement - width and height can be unlinked per layer, and the choice is saved.
  • Improvement - the Curl preview rolls up and down smoothly, and the New tag only marks effects from the last five updates.
  • Improvement - cut-outs drop faint haze and stray specks.
  • Improvement - the Effects button (Paste All Effects) is now in the bottom bar when several layers are selected.
  • Improvement - the camera asks before discarding a recording, and Settings asks before clearing preview copies or deleting models.
  • Improvement - export shows clearer progress, option sheets have a Done button, and the done screen says when the picture could not be checked.
  • Improvement - support for devices with 16 KB memory pages.

Fixes

  • Bug - selection dots on a full-width picture could not be grabbed at the screen edge.
  • Bug - a photo, video or sound picked in the file picker was lost if Android closed the app meanwhile.
  • Bug - restoring a backup skipped a changed template or preset, or swapped in a different font of the same name.
  • Bug - a backup said "saved" after leaving out a file that disappeared.
  • Bug - importing a scene broke Move Along Path and other layer links.
  • Bug - the export check missed a short audio or video track and never compared the first frame.
  • Bug - saving an animated layer to My Elements could crop it.
  • Bug - adding many beat markers could freeze the editor for a moment.
  • Bug - cut-outs could read past their memory, use a grey placeholder after a low-memory moment, or ignore a cancel.
  • Bug - exporting a still or GIF on a low-memory phone could close the app.
  • Bug - cancelling and restarting an update download could delete the new download.
  • Bug - the speed panel's retime buttons and the point editor had no names for screen readers.
  • Bug - a stalled export could leave the app stuck; it is now stopped with a notice.
  • Bug - retained media with a name ending in .part or .tmp was deleted at start.
  • Bug - a cancelled layer reorder was still saved, and the preview restarted on every frame.
  • Small fix - the first keyframe is no longer a dead zone when trimming.
  • Small fix - importing keeps spaces in OBJ texture names, reads glTF strips and fans, and applies root SVG opacity.
  • Small fix - damaged or oversized project files no longer block cleanup or use up memory.
  • Small fix - large font sizes no longer cut off the new-project rows.

Known issues

  • HDR video can look too dark or too bright on phones whose decoder does not convert it.
  • Restoring a backup that contains a damaged project file can still bring back a broken project.
  • In WebM and MKV exports, a short video next to full-length sound is not flagged by the export check.
  • Tested on an Android emulator, a phone and a tablet.

Previous changelogs

4.1.2

New and improved

  • Improvement - Auto captions open as a panel over the lower part of the editor, not full screen.
  • Improvement - the text editor keeps the keyboard open while you type, move, resize or pick a size, colour or font.
  • Improvement - tap the timeline ruler just above the Add menu to close it.
  • Improvement - Version History has a square, themed look with clearer rows and buttons.
  • Improvement - the tutorial shows one red Add cue and a pointer that glides to the next control; drag and scrub steps finish when you lift your finger.
  • Feature - Settings shows the installed version under Check for update.
  • Improvement - Rays is redone and closer to Alight Motion, with Threshold Add, Blend and Style; saved projects keep their old look.

Fixes

  • Bug - a cancelled export or export-size estimate could leave the preview frozen.
  • Small fix - preparing preview frames in the background no longer redraws the unchanged picture after every frame.
4.1.1

Two versions: download the one for your phone (Settings > About phone > Android version)

  • Latest (AbsentMotion-4.1.1-foss.apk / AbsentMotion-4.1.1-play.apk): Android 13 and newer. Every feature.
  • Compatible (AbsentMotion-4.1.1-compatible.apk): Android 9 to 12. Some features are left out: Optical flow High, AI Smooth, AI Enhance and AI background removal 2.0.

Not sure which one? The download page picks it for you.

The 4.1 performance update: the editor prepares preview frames by itself, Motion Blur skips repeated work, video previews and timeline thumbnails no longer flash empty, and captions are redesigned.

Downloads: AbsentMotion-4.1.1-foss.apk has no Google libraries and removes backgrounds offline. AbsentMotion-4.1.1-play.apk adds Google ML Kit background removal. AbsentMotion-4.1.1-compatible.apk is for Android 9 to 12. SHA256SUMS.txt lists the hashes, and AbsentMotion-training-image-credits.txt credits the training pictures used by the offline background model.

New and improved

  • Feature - the editor prepares preview frames by itself while it is idle, starting at the playhead. An edit only clears the frames it changes, and preparation pauses during playback, gestures, export, high temperature and while the app is in the background.
  • Feature - captions open full screen with a choice of clip or whole project, a progress bar with the time left and a Cancel button, and Auto captions on video and audio clips.
  • Feature - an optional, higher-precision multilingual speech model for captions (about 82 MB download); the standard model stays the default.
  • Feature - Voice filters are a category of the audio effects.
  • Improvement - Motion Blur and Shutter Blur draw layers that do not change during the shutter once instead of once per sample; in desktop benchmarks of blur-heavy scenes, exports were 1.09 to 1.65 times faster.
  • Improvement - prepared preview frames follow the preview's Fast or Full motion blur choice, and exports keep the chosen quality.
  • Improvement - the tutorial only lets the current step's control be used, marks it in red, and hides the other editor controls from screen readers.
  • Improvement - error messages, default layer names and effect names follow the app language and change right away after a language switch.
  • Improvement - offline Help in all 14 languages, and many translations were corrected.

Fixes and tooling

  • Bug - the preview no longer shows an empty picture while a video frame is still loading, or a frame from an older seek.
  • Bug - photo and video thumbnails on the timeline no longer fall back to stripes for a moment when rows scroll back into view or another picture or font loads; a thumbnail is only reused while its file, the engine and the fonts are unchanged.
  • Bug - during the tutorial's play and scrub step, the clip tools and the add button can no longer be used.
  • Tooling - the build check runs the compat unit tests apart from lint, reports failing tests by name and keeps the test reports; the heavy SVG import test measures processor time.
4.0.1

Two versions: download the one for your phone (Settings > About phone > Android version)

  • Latest (AbsentMotion-4.0.1-foss.apk / AbsentMotion-4.0.1-play.apk): Android 13 and newer. Every feature.
  • Compatible (AbsentMotion-4.0.1-compatible.apk): Android 9 to 12. Some features are left out: Optical flow High, AI Smooth, AI Enhance and AI background removal 2.0.

Not sure which one? The download page picks it for you.

A small update to transition controls, motion thumbnails and export settings.

Downloads: AbsentMotion-4.0.1-foss.apk has no Google libraries and removes backgrounds offline. AbsentMotion-4.0.1-play.apk adds Google ML Kit background removal. AbsentMotion-4.0.1-compatible.apk is for Android 9 to 12. SHA256SUMS.txt lists the hashes, and AbsentMotion-training-image-credits.txt credits the training pictures used by the offline background model.

New and improved

  • Feature - swipe the Transition button left to hide it until another timeline scrub; scrubbing the same clip brings it back too.
  • Feature - Settings > Editor > Transition button in preview chooses between its usual position and the preview area, on phone and tablet layouts.
  • Feature - editable export filenames, starting with the project title whenever export is reopened.
  • Feature - random numeric export names for images and videos, with a fresh 16-digit name each time; current-frame PNG now has extra settings too.
  • Improvement - photo-based transition and animation thumbnails, reusing two small bundled images, with visible tiles composed as needed.
  • Cleanup - removed the temperature stat and successful Checked message from export; thermal protection and verification warnings remain.
  • Improvement - the new controls are translated into all 14 languages.

Fixes and tooling

  • Small fix - export names are sanitised and bounded by UTF-8 length so long names stay within filesystem limits.
  • Small fix - Pulse, Wobble and Float thumbnail amounts now match their presets.
  • Tooling - release APKs are checked for corruption, signatures across supported Android versions, native-library alignment and consistent versions/certificates; signing uses each APK's declared minimum Android version.
  • Bug - the animated GIF regression test now generates its own compressed fixture instead of relying on a removed documentation image.
