Automation API Expansion & Editor Polish
This release opens up plan usage, billing, and word-level transcripts to the Automation API, and lands a round of improvements across the editor, project page, and better-written social captions.
Automation API
Agents and integrations can now see what they have left before they submit, and pull the full word-level transcript.
What's new
- GET /automation/get-plan-usagereturns your current plan plus media and AI credit pools as total, used, and remaining, along with your concurrent project limit, and project retention window. Agents can check remaining credits up front instead of parsing a rejection error.
- GET /automation/top-up-media-creditsreturns a checkout link for buying add-on media credits, with optional quantity and promo code. Available to any valid API key.
- GET /automation/manage-subscriptionreturns a billing portal link for studio admins.
- Word-level transcript: project responses now include urls.transcription, the word-level transcript JSON. If the project was translated, you get the translated version.
- Preset ordering: the get-all-presets endpoint (and the web templates list) now returns your own presets first, then system presets, each group newest-first, with stable ordering across paged requests.
Improvements
- The transcript panel has a copy button, alongside the existing one for the social caption.
- Clip cards you've scrolled past stay loaded instead of reverting to skeletons and refetching when you scroll back.
- Clip previews using center-stage tracking now hold their placeholder until the tracking data arrives, so the first frame no longer appears centered and then visibly pans.
- Opening the Text panel on a composition that has no text yet now asks you for the text once, creates the overlay from it, and leaves the template grid open so you can pick a style. Clicking a template restyles the existing text instantly, as before.
Editor Fixes
- Fixed clips with a custom thumbnail failing to export on any source below 30fps (29.97, 25, 24 and similar).
- Add segment no longer crashes on a caption covering a stretch with no spoken words.
- Fixed a stray style rule that made text across the entire editor look unselectable. Selection highlighting is now scoped.
Other Fixes
- Fixed social captions reading as clip analysis instead of copy of social description you can post.
- Failed uploads now keep the server's actual reason; for example, "You've used all the credits allowed in your plan" instead of overwriting it with a generic error message.
- Calendar posts whose scheduled time has passed are now consistently read-only.

Transitions, Sound Effects & Studio Timezones
This release brings animated transitions between clips, a built-in sound-effects library, and a studio-wide calendar timezone all on desktop and mobile, plus a big round of editor stability fixes.
Transitions Between Clips
You can now add a transition at the cut between two clips.

What's new
- A new Transition panel, on desktop and mobile, with seven transition styles, fade, slide, wipe, iris, clock wipe, zoom, and blur to apply at the junction between clips.
- Any transition can carry a sound accent from the effects library, played right at the cut.
- Prefer a clean cut? You can keep a plain hard cut and still give it a sound.
Sound Effects
Add sound effects to your clips from a built-in library.

What's new
- A new Effects panel, on desktop and mobile, with a library of 32 sound effects.
- Adding an effect drops it onto your clip as a sound you can position and adjust.
- On mobile, the panel closes after you add an effect so you can see it land on the timeline.
Studio Calendar Timezone
Your publishing calendar now follows a single timezone chosen for the whole studio, so everyone on the team sees the same times.

What's new
- Admins set the studio's display timezone from the calendar header or Manage Studio settings.
- The calendar, event times, and bulk scheduling all read and write in that timezone.
- Team members see the current timezone as a read-only chip, keeping everyone aligned.
Top-Up Credits
You now get a confirmation email after buying add-on media credits, showing how many credits you purchased, the amount paid, and your new top-up balance.
Editor Fixes
- Fixed a crash when opening a clip whose saved layout contained a zero-length overlay, and stopped those sub-frame slivers from being saved in the first place.
- Splitting a clip now divides its caption transcript along with the captions, fixing cases where a split piece could end up showing the wrong captions.
- Resizing captions no longer crashes the editor when the transcript is still loading or temporarily unavailable.
- Fixed caption rendering crashing on certain fonts that briefly looked "not loaded," and custom fonts now recover on their own when their link expires mid-session instead of taking down the preview.
- Smoother playback: fixed stalls caused by double seeks, hover activity, and resizing split layouts, and reduced buffering when playback crosses from one overlay to the next.
- Prevented a corrupt-clip situation where saving while the project was still loading could strip key settings (frame rate, resolution, watermark, caption language); the editor now waits and asks you to retry instead.
- Clips already affected by that issue now open again on the project page and in the editor, instead of failing to load.
- Fixed crashes from an unresolved video source, an empty transcript in the segment view, and closing the delete-video dialog while the delete was still in progress.
- Replaced the gradient text color pickers with the standard color picker for consistent styling.

More Team Seats, Better Hashtags & Reliable Video Emails
This release scales team seats with your subscription, fixes caption hashtags that were publishing as plain text, makes "your video is ready" emails dependable, and brings layout and stability improvements across clips, projects, and the editor.
Team Seats That Match Your Subscription
If you purchase multiple units of a plan, your team size now grows with it. Each purchased unit of your plan now adds its full set of invitable teammate seats, instead of every subscription being capped at the base allowance.
Caption Hashtags That Publish Correctly
Hashtags generated for captions now publish as real hashtags on every platform.
What's new
- Fixed hashtag blocks where only the first tag published as a hashtag and every tag after it went out as plain text.
- Multi-word tags no longer break at the space, so a tag like #TechCareers stays intact instead of dying mid-tag.
- Existing captions with broken hashtag blocks have been repaired automatically, nothing to redo on your side.
Reliable "Video Ready" Emails
The email that tells you your video has finished processing now sends for every kind of project.
Clips & Projects
- Clip cards now show when each clip was last edited, so it's easier to find the one you were working on.
- The video details page has a reorganized desktop layout, and now also shows the video's genre and whether it was created through the app, the API, or MCP.
- Fixed the Add Captions card doing nothing when the home page was opened with certain links.
Editor Fixes
- Smoother playback in the editor preview: the player no longer re-renders everything on every frame, which could cause stuttering and repeated words during playback.
- Fixed a crash risk when toggling volume while the preview was playing.

Cleaner AI Clip Starts & More Reliable Editing
This release helps AI-generated clips start more naturally and brings reliability improvements to exporting, editing, playback, YouTube imports, scheduling, and credit resets.
Cleaner AI Clip Starts
AI-generated clips are now less likely to begin in the middle of a sentence.
What's new
- Reap now looks back for a nearby sentence boundary when an AI-selected clip would otherwise start mid-sentence.
- Clip timing is only extended when a clean start is available nearby, avoiding unnecessarily long lead-ins.
More Reliable Exports
- An export that can't start because of a credit or validation issue no longer leaves the clip stuck in Processing or uses one of its allowed exports.
- When exporting multiple clips, clips that can be exported continue normally even if another clip in the batch fails.
Editing & Playback Fixes
- Fixed splitting at the playhead in split-screen and grouped layouts so the complete layout is split, not only one caption layer.
- Fixed a render loop that could crash the editor while selecting caption text.
- Improved editor stability when captions contain stale selections, unexpected word values, or references to missing video layers.
- Video decode failures are now handled without repeatedly taking down the editor preview.
- Fixed exported clips not responding to clicks in newer Chromium-based browsers.
- Fixed transcription preview thumbnails failing to load in some cached browser sessions.
Calendar
- Scheduled posts are now shown from earliest to latest consistently across month, week, day, and expanded calendar views.
App Stability
- Prevented browser translation tools from crashing Reap when they modify text on the page.
- Fixed a crash when closing dialogs opened from tooltip-wrapped buttons, including the clip publishing flow.
- Improved recovery around failed sign-in requests, video preview downloads, unsuccessful uploads, and support-widget setup.

Top-Up Credits & Clip Thumbnails
This release lets you buy extra media credits when you need them and set a custom thumbnail for any clip, plus reliability fixes across scheduling, fonts, and connections.
Top-Up Media Credits
You can now buy extra media credits whenever you run low, without changing your plan.

What's new
- Purchase one-time top-up credits on top of your recurring plan allowance.
- Top-up credits are used only after your plan's monthly credits are spent.
- Your top-up balance never expires and carries over month to month.
Clip Thumbnails
Give any clip its own cover image, right from the editor.

What's new
- A new Thumbnail panel in the editor to upload and set a clip's cover image.
- Available on both desktop and mobile.
- The thumbnail is baked into the clip as the first-frame cover, so social platforms and clip cards use it automatically, no separate per-platform cover step.
_________________________________
Fixes
- Fixed the schedule time picker so it works reliably across browsers, including Safari, with a consistent scrollable picker for choosing hours and minutes.
- Improved connecting YouTube so accounts link to the right channel, for a smoother, more reliable setup.
- Dropdowns and pickers inside dialogs now open upward when there isn't room below, so options are no longer cut off.

Cancel Stuck Projects, Clearer Plans & a Smoother Setup
This release lets you cancel projects that are stuck and get your credits back, makes plans and AI setup clearer, and improves dubbing and editing reliability.
Cancel a Stuck Project
You can now cancel a project while it's still processing and get your credits back, instead of waiting on one that's stuck.

What's new
- Cancel a project while it's still preparing, or any time it's been stuck processing for more than 8 hours.
- Your processing credits are automatically refunded when you cancel.
- The work already prepared is kept, so retrying doesn't start over from scratch.
- A clear confirmation lets you know the project was cancelled and your credits were returned.
- Once a project is cancelled it's locked from further editing, exporting, or publishing.
Clearer Plans
Plans are easier to understand at a glance.
What's new
- Each plan now shows more descriptive feature lists across Free, Creator, and Studio.
- Hover the info icon next to a feature to see exactly what it includes.
Easier AI & API Setup
Connecting Reap to your AI assistant and managing API access is clearer.
What's new
- The authorization screen now shows the name of the app you're connecting, for example "Authorize Claude."
- Choose which workspace to connect, then clearly approve or deny access.
- API key guidance now reflects whether you're a studio owner or member.
More Reliable Dubbing
- Dubbed videos now keep the correct orientation based on the source video's aspect ratio.
- Dubbing exports now use a supported resolution, avoiding invalid output sizes.
________________________________
Fixes
- Fixed the custom font upload issue.
- Fixed the first play of a clip in the editor starting without audio.
- Fixed a refresh loop and incorrect cross-month data in the Calendar week view.
- Fixed connecting social accounts not opening on mobile, and the social connections dropdown not opening correctly inside scheduling dialogs.

This release improves how you generate, organize, and manage clips inside Reap with a new Cinema genre, clearer publishing visibility, safer clip cleanup, and several workflow improvements.
⸻
Cinema Genre
We’ve added a new Cinema genre for clip creation.

Cinema is designed for videos that need a more cinematic, polished, or story-driven feel. It helps Reap better understand the editing direction when generating clips from long-form content.
Best for:
- Storytelling videos
- Documentary-style content
- Interviews
- Product stories
- Dramas and movies
- Educational videos with a polished tone
⸻
Publishing and Scheduling Labels on Clips
You can now see publishing and scheduling labels directly on clips.

If a clip has already been scheduled or prepared for publishing, Reap now shows that status in front of the clip so you can quickly understand what has already been planned.
Why it matters
When you’re working with many clips in one project, it can be hard to remember which ones are still drafts, which ones are scheduled, and which ones are ready to publish.
These labels make clip management much clearer.
What this helps with
- Avoid scheduling the same clip twice
- Quickly identify clips that are already planned
- Manage publishing workflows more confidently
- Keep teams aligned when multiple people are working on the same project
- Review content status without opening every clip manually
⸻
Delete Unnecessary Clips
This makes it easier to clean up your project, remove low-quality clips, and focus only on the clips that matter.

Why it matters
AI clipping can generate multiple options from a long video. Not every clip needs to stay in your workspace.
Now you can remove unnecessary clips and keep your project cleaner, easier to review, and easier to manage.
Best for
- Removing duplicate clips
- Cleaning up rejected drafts
- Keeping only the strongest moments
- Making large projects easier to navigate
- Preparing a final set of clips for publishing
⸻
Toolbar Search and Clip Search
We’ve added better search controls to help you find the right clips faster.
You can now search from the toolbar and quickly filter through clips inside a project without manually scrolling through every generated result. Not only clips but you can also find your projects in the projects search tool bar.
What this helps with
- Finding specific clips faster
- Reviewing large projects more easily
- Searching by clip title or related text
- Moving from generation to editing with less friction
- Helping teams navigate projects with many drafts

- Creating multiple edits from the same moment
- Trying different captions or layouts

Auto Hooks
Auto Text Hooks are now available.
Reap can help generate attention-grabbing hook text for clips, making it easier to create stronger openings for short-form content.

Face Tracking beta
Face Tracking is now available in beta for supported workflows.
This helps keep the subject better framed when turning long-form videos into short-form clips. Users can also toggle on/off the face tracking inside the editor for specific clips.
