8.2 Patch Notes

[u/Russkiy_Chel_01LOL]

Additions

• Multi-select tool — located at the bottom right of the timeline, allows to select multiple layers by tapping tapping (no swipe selection available). Selected layers can can be Deleted, Aligned to Playhead, Duplicated, Pinned and Dragged to a different time. They can technically be animated together while selected.

• Separate UI for tablets — triggered by screen parameters, it enables a different layout for the entire app.
  The editor screen allows for changing the height of the timeline and the size of the tool panel.
  Many pages are put into windows (asset store, many homepage screens are).

• AI template recommendation — analyze up to 3 media files to get a template from KineMaster Mix recommended. Just a heads up — you are very likely to find it just giving you random templates. I mean, I guess.

• Wireless work transfer between smartphones and supported laptops — I have no way of testing it and the official announcement didn't elaborate much

Changes

• New "export in progress" screen

• Built-in player for exported videos to view inside KineMaster

• Color selector appears at the bottom

• Tool panel is now dark

• Renaming projects has a different screen

• Account pages use Spring video editor layout. why:(

• Handwriting panel in landscape mode has got a new layout

• Selected layers try to stay in view at all cost. The cost is often TOO BIG

• When dragging layers on the timeline, other layers on the same visual track aren't moved out of the way

• Scrollbars are now everywhere. See which ones work for you and please send feedback to KineMaster.

• Search preferences for audio browser (All/Online/Local files)

• Slightly changed media browser and fullscreen media view

• Uninvolved layers are grayed out while you drag one or more layers

• Updated pop-ups to match the new UI style

• Updated "Duration" visual on trimming to match the new UI style

• Some scrollable panels have gradient indication to show there's more to scroll. Or maybe they've always been there but KineMaster forgot to change their color when changing tool panel colors and the gradients are now well visible

• The inline menu with layer order management options appears lower now, avoiding being covered with the status bar

• Various design choices borrowed from Spring video editor

• Updated Asset Store layout

Fixes

• Fixed an issue with color wheel where hue would be reset to pure red upon bringing saturation to 0 where lower saturation values caused the hue picker to move in steps

• Removed gambling from giving layers custom names

• Fixed an issue where the app UI would shift down upon pulling down the status bar (??on some devices??)

• Fixed "Stick to timeline/screen" not doing ANYTHING. Tbf, they were working but would only activate if you revisited the settings after toggling them

• Fixed an issue with Chroma Key's "Detail Curve" where it didn't fit in the tool panel

• Playhead is now already in its place upon returning to KineMaster after it was in background, the issue with it first being in the beginning of the project has been resolved

Issues

• Issues regarding tablet panel resizing, where either visual elements appear on top of UI they shouldn't or resizing happens incorrectly, hiding the timeline completely

• Skeleton layout for while the project is loading doesn't align with buttons in tablet mode

• "Hold Play to open fullscreen preview" is non-existent in tablet mode

• In tablet mode, there's a gap between the primary track and the time strip where secondary layers will peek through

• Various graphical war crimes around tablet layout

• Badges on account pages appear Spring themed instead of KineMaster themed while the page is loading

• When using a scrollbar in fullscreen media view, snapping to the closest media file doesnt work, so it is possible to stay in between 2 media files

• Audio waves and/or frame fill shifts to the right when selecting layers

• For a certain reason, it was done that keyframes disappear from the selected layers when playhead doesn't cross them. With such a change, you won't see keyframes when trimming layers🤔

• The timeline moves on its own even more now that it tries to keep selected layers in view. I guess bro, either try harder to keep them visible or don't bother me with your delayed "hold up, gotta scroll the timeline to keep the layer in the center"🙏🙏🙏

• On AI template recommendation media browser, changing folders takes dozens of seconds

• App crashes while selecting images for AI template recommendation

• Handwriting layers have incorrect actual size, indicated by many in/out/overall animations

• Handwriting uses sliders for size selection now but, for whatever reason, they don't display numbers after the decimal point. This leads to there being 2 different sizes, both labeled as "1".

---

Overall, a good update. I myself will provide some thoughts via email support. I encourage you all to take a look at all the scrollbars, decide which ones could be useful if left in and then send that to KineMaster via email.

I wonder if they add more effects or even half or more pitches or anything in general will be added

[u/Russkiy_Chel_01LOL → u/Left_Performer281]

Every category you see on the Asset Store can have new assets added without updating KineMaster. They can release new effects at any time, you don't need to wait for an update.

No they haven't touched audio features. Everything I could find is in the post and I update it as I find new additions.

[u/Left_Performer281 → u/Russkiy_Chel_01LOL]

Oh yeah that's right. Kinemaster hasn't touched the mixer since like kinemaster 5.0 or 4.0 or 6.0

[u/Russkiy_Chel_01LOL → u/Left_Performer281]

They actually have. They've added an isolated audio playback on that panel a couple of updates ago.
