What changed, version by version.

Every version 1 update is free. To update, download RaveCut again from the link in your email and install the new files over the old ones; the guide says how. From 1.0.0, RaveCut checks for a newer version once a day when you're online and says so in ≡; nothing is downloaded by itself.

0.4.7 27 October 2026

• Your set recording, checked in DaVinci Resolve. The levelled set recording is now a standard 24-bit file that every editor reads, and RaveCut checks that it landed on the first audio track (A1) for the whole set. If it didn't, RaveCut says so and shows which file to drag in, instead of reporting it as placed.

0.4.6 25 October 2026

• Quick is about four times faster at hearing your set. Listening to a 4-hour recording takes about 40 seconds instead of nearly two minutes, and the beat is found in about 20 seconds instead of 90. The result is exactly the same.

0.4.5 25 October 2026

• Thorough now listens closer for the beat. With Edit quality set to Thorough, RaveCut re-checks the beat where the tempo drifts and works out where each bar starts section by section. On our hand-checked house set, the bar starts in the right place about 94 % of the time, up from about half. Quick is unchanged.

0.4.4 24 October 2026

• Highlight playback works with sound only. A moment plays its sound in Premiere's Source Monitor from its start and stops at its end, with In and Out marked on the recommended section.

0.4.3 23 October 2026

• Highlights come much faster. Previews are made four at a time, and changing a moment's length no longer reads the footage again.
• No more blank frames between cuts. Every clip now ends exactly where the next one starts.
• Tall highlights are framed right even with Scale to Frame Size on. No preference change needed; for full sharpness, set Default Media Scaling to None before importing.

0.4.2 23 October 2026

• Your highlights are ready when you are. Once the whole set is analysed, RaveCut prepares your moments and their previews in the background, so Highlights opens with pictures. Anything you start comes first.

0.4.1 22 October 2026

• Better at spotting a moving or shaky camera, and about twice as fast. RaveCut now sees a camera that rolls, zooms or walks through the crowd. Thorough reads every frame and tells a smooth gimbal or tripod move (used) from a shaky walk (left out).
• Cuts wait for a camera move to finish.
• The progress bar moves through long clips and says how long is left.
• No more "Save your project first?" step. If Premiere stops while placing, open RaveCut again and click Finish it carefully.

0.4.0 22 October 2026

• Edit quality: Quick or Thorough (≡ menu). Thorough looks at every moving camera more closely, so fewer shaky or mid-move shots reach the edit.
• Steadier cuts. The edit avoids a handheld camera while it is being moved and cuts away just before the move.
• Play a highlight before you place it, and if Premiere quits mid-placement, Finish it picks up where it stopped.
• Tidier projects: imports land in Audio, Cameras and Sequences bins, and RaveCut tells you when a newer version is out.

0.3.7 19 October 2026

• The “application is not responding” message is gone. On some Macs, opening RaveCut while the engine was already running brought up “You can't open the application because it is not responding”. The engine now answers macOS straight away.
• Graded copies are recognised. A colourist's export of a clip is matched to its original by sound and picture together, so it no longer counts as an extra camera or shows as missing.
• Play a moment before you pick it. On the Pick screen each moment has a play button: the set recording plays from that point in Premiere's Source Monitor, with a preview of the shot when one is ready.
• Organise into bins. What RaveCut imports goes into Audio and Cameras bins, and its sequences into a Sequences bin. On by default; turn it off in ≡.
• Highlights open on Tall (9:16, for Reels and TikTok). Wide and Square are a tap away, as before.
• A set recording split into several files or folders is one recording. Recorders that start a new file every 2 GB, each in its own folder, are joined; the energy graph shows the whole night.
• Small clips in the sequence are explained. If Premiere's Default Media Scaling is set to Scale to Frame Size, RaveCut says so once and tells you how to fix it; the guide has the steps.

Older versions were alpha builds for testers. Questions about anything on this page: support@ravecut.com.
