Text that reads like After Effects set it, and a batch of shape and render fixes.

  • Real multilingual text: full right-to-left and bidirectional layout (Arabic, Hebrew — mixed with Latin in one line), vertical writing with tate-chū-yoko and kinsoku line-breaking for CJK, and true optical kerning. Source-text expressions can now drive what a text layer says.
  • Time Stretch on any layer, not just footage.
  • Rounded rectangles stay rounded everywhere geometry is rebuilt: under any path operator (Trim, Zig-Zag, Repeater…), through Merge Paths booleans and the path cloner, and under the Knife — all of which used to square the corners off. Scaled layers keep circular corners, and animated radii are honoured throughout.
  • Projected shadows no longer paint over the layer casting them, and the lamp's wash survives alongside its shadow.
  • Properties panel no longer loops: since 0.8.1 the panel re-rendered itself endlessly while it was open, wasting CPU the whole time. Its rows in the inspector's ⋯ menu now also stay put instead of only appearing because of that loop.
  • Object Matte installs reliably: the custom model install pairs the encoder/decoder downloads through the app itself (no more copy-pasting two URLs into the right folders), with resumable, verified downloads.
