The clip editor now works properly on your phone. Every part of it, from the tool strip to the timeline, has been redesigned for small screens and touch, so you can trim, move, style, and publish clips from wherever you are. On every device, you can now resize the timeline to give the preview more room, playback is smoother on long captioned clips, and the editor protects unsaved work and offers a full keyboard-shortcut reference. This update also fixes Facebook Pages going missing when you connect them, long non-English videos failing during translation, and projects getting stuck in Processing.
The Editor, Rebuilt for Mobile
Until now the editor was a desktop tool that happened to open on a phone. Controls were cut off on narrow screens, a swipe on the timeline would drag a clip instead of scrolling, tools were unlabelled icons, and adding something from the bottom sheet looked like nothing happened. All of that has changed.
Fits every phone
- The editor now fits even the narrowest phones with no sideways scrolling. The Export button is always within reach, and the playback controls no longer overlap.
- Every tool in the mobile tool strip has a label under its icon, so you never have to guess what an icon does. The strip scrolls with arrows at either end.
- The Brand Kit template gallery fills the width of the screen.
- Tapping a search or text field no longer zooms the page on iPhone.
A timeline you can use with your fingers
- Swipe to scroll, hold to edit. A short hold on a clip lets you move or trim it. A plain swipe scrolls the timeline instead of dragging whatever was under your finger.
- The clip shows which edit the hold will make: the whole clip lifts for a move, one edge grows for a trim. A short vibration confirms the hold on phones that support it.
- Small clips can be moved, not just trimmed. Whether you're moving or trimming is decided by where you press, so even a tiny clip keeps a draggable middle.
- Dragging a clip toward the edge of the timeline scrolls it, so you can drop the clip beyond what's visible.
More room for the preview
- The timeline can be resized on phones. A grip is always visible on its top edge: drag it to give the preview more room, or double-tap it to collapse the timeline entirely. The height you choose is remembered separately for your phone and your desktop.
- The preview immediately reflows when you resize the timeline, so a portrait clip uses the full space you give it.
- On portrait clips, the selection actions now sit in a vertical bar beside the preview instead of a horizontal bar that ran off the edge.
See what you add
- Adding an asset, stock media, a sound, text, or an effect from the bottom sheet now jumps the preview to the new item so you see your change right away. Items you'll keep editing, like text and B-roll, stay open in their editor.
- Caption presets load far faster on every device: only the preset you've selected or are previewing plays, instead of all of them at once.
- Deleting a saved upload removes it from the open editor immediately.
Also on mobile
- On the project page, the clip card footer no longer overlaps on phones. The edit time now sits under the clip title, and the Details label appears when there's room for it.
Resize the Timeline
- The timeline used to take a fixed amount of space for every row, so a project with many rows left very little room for a portrait preview on a Desktop.
- Drag the top edge of the timeline to make it taller or shorter. Your preferred height is remembered on each device.
- When your rows don't all fit, they scroll within the timeline, with the time ruler staying in view.
- Double-tap the edge to collapse the timeline down to just the playback controls and ruler, giving the preview the whole screen.
- When you drag a clip toward the top or bottom of the timeline, it scrolls to reveal the rows out of view, so you can drop the clip anywhere.
Smoother Playback
- Playback in the editor is now noticeably smoother on long clips with detailed captions, with fewer dropped frames and stutters.
- The playhead no longer draws over the timeline's row controls.
Never Lose Work
- The editor header now shows whether your project has unsaved edits, and when it was last saved.
- Leaving the editor with unsaved changes prompts you, with Save and leave as the default. Closing the tab, reloading, and now the browser's Back button all warn too. Previously a single press of Back discarded your changes.
- Undo and redo now restore everything a save includes, not just timeline items: caption style values, the caption preset and brand template selection, the captions toggle, and face-tracking settings. Picking a brand template undoes as a single step.
- Save and export failures are reported separately, so the suggested fix matches what went wrong. The Save button disables once everything is saved.
Keyboard Shortcuts & Accessibility
- A Keyboard shortcuts reference is built in. Press ? anywhere in the editor, or open it from the timeline settings. Tooltips show the correct keys for Mac and Windows.
- Space now plays and pauses the preview. Option + Space still works too. Space is ignored while you're typing or have a button selected, so it never triggers the wrong action.
- Ctrl/⌘ + S saves a draft, and the arrow keys step one frame at a time.
- Every icon-only control now has a name for screen readers, and caption presets, text templates, sound effects, saved uploads, and brand templates can be operated by keyboard with a visible focus ring.
- Confirmation dialogs open with focus on the action you asked for, so Enter confirms instead of dismissing.
- Escape closes the innermost surface first: a picker, then a word selection, then the mobile sheet.
- On desktop, the resize edge of a clip lights up when the pointer is over it.
Editing Conveniences and Fixes
- Every timeline row now has a delete button next to its drag handle. Deleting a row removes everything on it. The last remaining row can't be deleted.
- Applying a Brand Kit template no longer moves your text and sound items onto the caption row or replaces your captions. Every item stays where you put it.
- Turning on AI Emoji no longer switches off AI Highlight Words, and vice versa.
- The clip list on the project page now opens expanded, so your clips are visible right away. Collapse it whenever you want more room.
Facebook Pages
Last week we launched publishing to Facebook Pages. But Facebook didn't list all the Pages you'd authorised, so the picker came up empty. That's fixed.
- Pages that Facebook leaves out of its list are now found automatically.
- If a Page still doesn't appear, use Missing a Page? and enter its Page ID. Reap checks that it can publish there before offering it to you, and never connects a Page without you choosing it.
- The picker stays open when no Pages come back, and you can retry without signing in to Facebook again.
- If only some Pages could be loaded, the picker tells you and lets you retry while keeping the ones it already found.
- Connected Facebook accounts no longer appear to expire after an hour. Existing connections are corrected automatically.
- A brief Facebook outage no longer disconnects your account, and no longer stops the same post from going out to your other channels, such as YouTube.
Publishing & Automation API
- A scheduled post you've deleted stays deleted. Previously, editing a deleted post through the Automation API, the MCP, or the dashboard could quietly bring it back to life and publish it on schedule. Those requests now return not found.
Processing Reliability
- Fixed long videos in languages such as Vietnamese failing with "Translation failed. Please retry in a few minutes." Longer videos now translate and complete as expected.
- Projects whose clips fail to render now end with a clear failure message and refunded credits, instead of sitting in Processing indefinitely. If some clips in a clipping project succeed, the project still completes with those clips.
Reap MCP
- The list_videosandlist_publisher_postsstatus filters now accept the real status values. Filters such as published and scheduled were previously rejected.
- Reap MCP now supports the latest MCP protocol, so newer clients such as Codex connect faster and more reliably. Existing clients are unaffected.
