Changelog

All our latest features, fixes, and improvements.

Transcript clips, Thai language support, and account management

We've added the ability to create clips directly from transcript selections and introduced Thai language support. Account deletion is now available for all users, along with numerous performance improvements and fixes.

Features

  • Create clips from transcript selections: Select any portion of your transcript and instantly create a new video clip from it. Highlight the text, right-click, and choose 'Copy to new video' to extract key moments or create shorter versions.
  • Thai language support: Full support for Thai language detection, proper font display, and text handling that respects Thai's unique sentence structure for transcriptions.
  • Account deletion: Permanently delete your account and all associated data from the Profile page.

Bugfixes

  • Video player controls: Controls now correctly appear when the player is idle, fixing the issue where controls wouldn't show when expected.
  • Tooltip performance: Tooltips appear faster and more reliably, fixing delays and failures to display.
  • Invite referral system: The 'invite a friend' feature now sends referral invites correctly after a period of malfunction.
  • Duplicate email handling: Clearer error messages when changing to an existing email, with helpful links to resolution articles.
  • Large video conversion: Videos larger than 4K now maintain proper aspect ratios during conversion, fixing distortion in ultra-wide or tall videos.

Performance Improvements

  • Video playback switching: Videos load more reliably when switching between clips or stories with improved content handling.
  • Enhanced video viewer: Faster loading with duration displayed upfront and improved player interface adaptation.
  • Video page optimization: Faster page loads with optimized chapter display and smoother transitions.

Auto Cut

Auto Cut is a new way to edit that improves how you record. It analyzes your video to find mistakes, repeated lines, interruptions and more, then removes them with a single click. Auto Cut eliminates annoying editing so you can record in peace.

Also in this update

  • Pausing: Pause your recording in situations where you don't want to restart or add another clip — now available in the Tella macOS app
  • Improved timeline zooming: Zooming in on the timeline now keeps you at your current position instead of jumping to the start

Auto Layouts

With Auto Layouts, Tella does the editing for you. Just pick a template then hit Generate. Tella will apply layouts and transitions throughout your video with a little help from AI. What took 30 minutes now takes 30 seconds.

Also in this update

  • Revamped screen cropping: More accurate cropping with aspect ratio presets, fine-tune position and size, and every layout re-aligns perfectly
  • Custom audio delay: Set a custom audio delay for your microphones in the Mac app — useful for XLR mics with audio interfaces

Collaboration and playlist security

Email updates, password-protected playlists & more layouts:

  • Invite your team to collaborate on video editing (note: only one editor allowed to edit at a time)
  • Password-protect entire playlists
  • Update your email address directly from account settings
  • Upload files up to 5GB (increased from 1GB)
  • Choose from over 40 new layouts
  • Stay tuned - you're going to love our next updates!

Search Results Redesign

Redesigned search results UI for finding your videos faster.

Chrome extension update & editor performance

Tella for Chrome is now compatible with Chrome's Manifest V3. This update to the extension also includes:

  • Record multi-clip videos simply by stopping the current clip then starting a new one
  • Record quick videos by pushing "Preview" either during the recording (this will also stop the recording) or after you've already stopped the recording
  • Improved device (camera, mic) selection — should be a lot more stable

We've also made a major update to the performance of the editor. Working on long videos with extensive edits is a lot more performant (faster). Navigating throughout the video and adding additional edits will feel smoother and responsive.

In this update we also fixed a bug with how audio was being captured in screen-only recordings.

Editor Performance & Chrome Update

One big new feature, two nice improvements, and a couple of fun updates.

Features

  • Editor performance: The editor is way faster — working on long videos with lots of edits is now just as snappy as short videos
  • Tella for Chrome: Spring cleaning for the Chrome extension with improved stability and performance

Password protected videos

Protect your videos with a password. With this update you can:

  • Share video links publicly, but behind a password
  • Add, remove or update passwords at any time
  • Copy the password to your clipboard (easier to share with viewers)
  • Use passwords on embedded videos

We also fixed a bug in the trim mode sidebar and added a warning when you attempt to add a video background larger than 75MB.

Fast Exports & Teams

The fastest video exporter in the world? Hour-long videos in under 3 minutes, and quick 5-minute videos in sub 30 seconds.

Also in this update

  • Faster editing: Performance improvements for the editor to handle longer and more elaborate videos
  • Teams: Collaborate with your team on Tella — share videos, manage members, and work together

Teleprompter & Mac Improvements

Four big improvements to Tella for Mac, including a teleprompter and quick-access preferences.

Features

  • Teleprompter: Write a whole script then play it back line-by-line. Move it wherever you want, adjust width, text size and playback speed — and it's completely invisible in screen recordings
  • Quick preferences: See and change resolution, system audio and cursor preferences at the top of the app before recording
  • Internal audio: Record system audio on Mac — capture the sound of the app you're recording alongside your mic
  • Camera swap: Switch between multiple connected cameras without restarting your recording
