Rapidemo
Here's what's new and what's next for Rapidemo. Welcome to the November update!
What’s new ✨
🎬Timeline zoom
You can now zoom out the timeline completely to show the entire video, start to end. Great to get an overview of your project!
⏩Arbitrary playback speeds
The playback speed for a clip can now be set to arbitrary values. Select a clip and click on Advanced under Playback speed to enter any playback speed up to 16x!
🛠️Last-used exporter settings are saved
Rapidemo now remembers your last-used exporter settings, such as frame rate, quality and resolution, and applies them automatically when starting a new export.
💻Last-used window size is saved
When launching the app, the window size from the last session is restored. Rapidemo also remembers the full screen status.
🐛Bug fixes and improvements
As always, I’ve patched a handful of bugs in November.
Sometimes a few seconds of microphone audio were cut off. This is fixed now!
When choosing the focal point for a manual zoom, the editor now doesn’t crash anymore.
And I’ve made many stability and performance improvements in the editor and exporter.
Feel free to take a look at the full list of changes in the Rapidemo changelog.
What’s next 🔮
In November I focused on many smaller features and improvements that many of you have asked for - it’s nice to see small changes having a big impact!
I’m currently giving the transcription feature some love.
I'm beefing up transcription in Rapidemo! 💬

Quality should be much better soon when transcribing non-native speakers like myself.

With one of the next updates, transcription will run fully in the background, allowing you to edit oher parts of the project while transcription is running.
I’m also adding a bigger variety of AI models, which should help improve transcription for lower quality or accented audio. As before, transcription works fully offline and is privacy-friendly.
As always, I’ll post what I’m up to on X!
That’s it for the November update! Let me know what you think of this update. I’m planning to send one update per month to keep you in the loop about Rapidemo development (and to keep myself accountable 😁).
Feel free to hit reply or shoot me a DM on X if you have some feedback to share.
Back to coding! 👨💻
