Changelog

All our latest features, fixes, and improvements.

Burned-in subtitles

The subtitles you see in your videos are automatically transcribed by Tella and now can be included in your exported video file. When you're ready to download your video, there's an option to burn the subtitles into the export. Turn on this feature in your next export and your video will include the subtitles, perfectly formatted and ready to share on platforms like YouTube or Twitter.

Mac App Updates

  • Performance: Significantly reduced memory usage for better stability.
  • Window to Front: The Mac app brings the selected recording window to the front automatically.
  • New UX: Simplified recording interface by removing recording modes.
  • Improved Window Selection: Window outline makes it easier to confirm the right window is selected.

Zooms

You can now add zoom-in and out effects in Tella videos. To use it, simply click on 'Zoom' in the editor. This feature also allows 'connected' zooms, meaning smooth transitions between different zoom points without fully zooming out. Zooms adapt to different canvas sizes, making them suitable for mobile or square video formats. It's flexible and integrates well with other Tella features like multiple clips, clip styles, and layout adjustments.

February 2023 Updates

  • Video File Uploads: Upload video files directly to Tella by dragging and dropping MP4 files.
  • Turbo Exports: Accelerated export pipeline for 1080p and 4K — the biggest improvement to export speed since 4K support launched.
  • Default Sharing Settings: Set default preferences for subtitles, views, and comments visibility that apply to all new videos.
  • Screen Crop: Apply to All: Apply screen crop settings to every clip at once with a single click.
  • New Embed Options: Configure video embeds with title visibility, autoplay, animated thumbnails, and looping.
