Assistant Editor

  • Gapless rough cuts — the frame math now matches what Resolve actually
    places, so cuts land back-to-back; per-cut clip markers became an opt-in
    toggle.
  • Your ask sets the plan's shape: enumerated feedback runs as a literal
    work order with a coverage receipt, revisions see the full transcript and
    clip intel, and beats follow the fewest sections the job needs (chat can
    merge or remove them).
  • B-roll judges the picture, not the microphone — a visual beauty score,
    motion direction / push-in awareness, and log footage no longer reads as
    "bad"; clip signals now actually reach the b-roll decisions.
  • New Format control for social cuts (with a shorts dissolve) and a
    footage-sources union; the target field got a cleaner UX.
  • Graphics render and place at build time — "Suggest graphics" grew into
    "Build graphics"; b-roll no longer stacks on one track.
  • The planner reads each clip as one unified timeline, a capability contract
    stops it refusing work the app can do, and the editor profile starts
    learning what survives of each plan after you edit.

Graphics

  • Renders place at the playhead, not the timeline head; the AI can draw
    arrows and follows the same shape rules when editing as when generating.
  • Dialogs open matched to the project's timeline; bring-your-own TSX code and
    assets; drafts auto-open the refine window; Studio + rename fixes.

Search & Import

  • Instant results from the index, cancellable search, ~130× faster
    archive scanning, and an all-words fallback when the exact phrase misses.
  • Playhead output option, ingest parity from sidecars, one parent bin.

Resolve & reliability

  • Default timelines stay colour managed (custom settings no longer reset
    colour science) with new resolution/fps defaults in Settings.
  • Ingest can add imported clips straight to the open timeline.
  • Resync stays in its lane: audio-blind pool scan, foreign-clip sweep, and no
    more switching to unverified timelines.
  • The app fails loud if a cloud-sync fork replaces the database mid-session,
    and can recover topics by replaying its logs.
  • Folder presets follow drives, not letters.
