4.9.0

Features

Draw on Screen

Draw over every display with brush, shapes, arrows, text, eraser, and selection tools. Open Draw on Screen from the tray menu or assign its hotkey in settings; Click through lets you use apps underneath, and Hide drawing temporarily hides the ink.

Reusable object styles

Reuse a selected object's appearance across matching objects or future drawings. Select one object and open Apply or save this style, then apply it to existing objects, remember it for this window, or make it the default everywhere.

Calibrated measurements

Measure lines can show real-world units using one calibration shared by every measure on the canvas. Select a measure, click Set measure units, enter Length and Unit (e.g. ft), then click Save; Reset returns the canvas to pixels.

Video timeline gap tools

Video and audio timeline gaps show their duration and provide tools for closing or filling empty space. Right-click a gap or click its duration badge, then choose an available action such as Close Gap, Ripple Close Gap (All Tracks), Rejoin Clips (Undo Cut), or Paste after using Copy on a clip.

Single-lane editor toolbars

Keep image and video editor toolbars to one column, with overflowed tools under More tools. Set Toolbar overflow to Hide in General settings or choose Overflow in Customize toolbar; the last overflow tool you pick stays on the toolbar.

Minor Changes

• New text cycles through pastel fills and slight rotations when Auto is enabled.
• The Pen tool previews and inserts anchors on existing paths, snaps closed paths to their first anchor, and returns to Selection when finished.
• Restore sessions on startup now reopens video editors after an update restart or computer shutdown.
• New zoom effects reuse an existing non-overlapping zoom track instead of always adding another timeline row.
• Changing zoom keeps the viewport center in place, and Reset zoom keeps the current area visible when possible.
• Drawing editor shadows render faster, especially on complex canvases.
• The sticky note size control is now labeled Scale; measure labels also use it and render larger by default.

Bugs Fixed

• Text on transparent backgrounds no longer appears jumbled.
• Tooltips no longer flicker when moving between toolbar buttons.
