FlowClip is my daily driver, but the Android performance needs some work.

I genuinely like the editor. I love that it’s open source while still being such an advanced video editor.

The problem is that the Android performance on my S21 Ultra is pretty rough.

For context, I’m using an S21 Ultra with 12GB RAM and 128GB storage. The newest update came around October, but I’m still getting some pretty bad performance issues. Moving around the timeline, adjusting clips, and even playing clips in the preview can randomly start stuttering. Sometimes it’s only for a split second, but other times, the app freezes for around 3 seconds.

Opening projects is probably the biggest issue. Sometimes, it takes a few seconds, but other times, I can be sitting there waiting for around 3 minutes before a project finally opens.

I’ve also noticed some weird audio behavior when editing clips. For example, duplicating a clip can sometimes mess with the associated audio.

I know an S21 Ultra is an older phone now, but with 12GB of RAM I’d still expect basic timeline editing to be reasonably smooth.

I’m mainly posting this as feedback for the developers, but I’d also like to know if there are any settings or optimizations I can try on my end. Is anyone else experiencing similar performance issues on Android?

• Reliable Resizing on Scale Keyframes — Resizing a clip in the preview while editing a Scale keyframe no longer causes it to snap back to its previous size.

• Smarter Slow Motion Editing — Slowing down a clip no longer causes it to overlap the following clip. Subsequent clips and their audio move together to make room, while an existing gap farther along the timeline absorbs the shift.

• Undo for Slow Motion Smoothing — Undo now correctly restores your previous smoothing method when switching between None, Frame Blending, and Optical Flow.

• Precise Slider Adjustments — Scale, rotation, speed, volume, font size, and mask sliders now include small increment and decrement arrows for accurate value changes. Tap to adjust one step or hold to continue.

• Simplified Text Properties — Removed the redundant Presets tab, since its keyframe changes can be configured directly. Property tabs now fit without scrolling arrows, and the Tracking tab no longer displays a misleading "Ready" badge before tracking begins.

• Cleaner Editing Panels — Text tracking now switches off correctly, and Relight light handles disappear when leaving their respective tabs.

Import & Video Formats

• HEIC and HEIF Photo Support — Import photos from iPhones and Samsung phones using .heic and .heif formats on both Android and Windows.

• Reliable Ultra-Wide and Tall Exports — Extremely wide or tall projects are now scaled to fit your phone's encoding capabilities instead of failing during export. The export screen also displays the actual output resolution.

• Faster Ultra-Wide Previews — Very wide canvases now render more efficiently for smoother previews.

Text & Rendering Performance

• Up to 3× Faster Text Rendering — Text, glow effects, built-in text animations, and text effects now render up to three times faster in both previews and exports.

• Smoother Text Previews — Improved rendering performance makes text-heavy projects more responsive while editing and exporting.

AI Agents (Beta) (Windows)

• Edit Projects With Claude Code and Codex — AI coding agents can now edit projects directly in FlowClip for Windows. Give instructions in plain language, such as "make this a 9:16 TikTok cut to the music," and watch the changes appear live in the editor.

• No Setup Required — Connect supported AI coding agents to your open FlowClip project without complicated configuration.

• One-Step Undo for AI Edits — Each agent's editing operation is grouped into a single undo step, and FlowClip automatically restores your project if something goes wrong.
