Caption Preset Editor, AI Drafts & Best-Take Selector

v1.23.8 · 4/18/2026

What's New

  • A brand-new split-view caption preset editor lets you design caption styles across 13 grouped settings — with a live preview that updates as you make changes.
  • AI can now generate or remix a caption preset for you: describe the look you want and the AI drafts a full style, including font choices, colours, and layout.
  • Caption presets now show a rendered thumbnail preview in the preset list, so you can tell styles apart at a glance without opening each one.
  • You can now import custom fonts directly into the caption editor — paste a TTF, OTF, or ZIP file URL, or search and add any font from Google Fonts.
  • A new Best-Take Selector automatically identifies the strongest version of a repeated take using AI analysis, so your timeline gets the best clip without manual comparison. The winning take and the reason it was chosen are shown alongside each repetition group.
  • A new transcript review screen shows your transcription in a two-panel layout before generating captions, letting you check and correct the text first. Edits are tracked and you're prompted before leaving with unsaved changes.
  • Caption presets can now be duplicated or hard-deleted directly from the preset list, and you can flip any preset between active and draft status without leaving the page.

Improvements

  • The caption preset list page has been redesigned with a new toolbar and a dedicated AI Drafts section, making it easier to find, manage, and launch AI-generated styles.
  • Loading caption preset previews is now instant — the plugin uses a pre-generated preview URL rather than running multiple parallel preview requests every time you open the list.
  • The API now retries failed requests more aggressively and classifies errors more precisely, so transient network hiccups are less likely to surface as hard failures.
  • The caption canvas height is now capped so the preview panel stays usable on smaller screens, and the font size slider tops out at 200 to prevent runaway text sizes.
  • The bounding-box overlay on the caption preview now stays visible and draggable even when text measurement falls back to an estimate — drag, resize, and rotate all respond correctly without race conditions.
  • The sticky Call-to-Action button in the caption and review flow stays anchored to the bottom of the panel as you scroll, so it's always reachable.
  • Activating, duplicating, or deactivating a caption preset now updates the list immediately without requiring a page refresh.
  • The /dashboard page now correctly redirects returning users and all relevant links point to the right destination.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where the bounding-box drag handle on the caption preview was blocked by an invisible canvas wrapper element — dragging to reposition captions now works reliably.
  • Fixed a stale-closure bug in the drag/resize/rotate handler that caused caption position updates to snap back or behave erratically during fast interactions.
  • Fixed a server-side rendering fetch failure that could cause the dashboard to show an error on first load.
  • Fixed an issue where the caption preview would not refresh after making changes due to an overly aggressive cache.
