Now scrubbing doesn’t work at all. You only see the frame where you start and the frame where you end. The entire point of scrubbing is to see the video WHILE you scrub it.

No status, no progress bar, no countdown, no hourglass while previews run. Absolutely no feedback until the green check mark at the end. Come on guys. There is no possible way you’re testing this stuff before you roll it out
it’s getting kinda silly. Things that work in one release don’t in the next.

I came here to post exactly the same thing!!! But it’s not just no info on how long the previews will take to render
 it’s the main output as well! Literally zero feedback until it’s completed. Mac Studio Ultra btw.

This is just embarrassing at this point. They need to pull this beta, try again, and actually test it before sending it out.

Same here! The only way I can guess processing is even taking place is that my GPU usage is up!

I don’t think it’s a bug. as related to the change log, “Various trim and seek issues are fixed”, so it seems that for now, the way to have the timeline to work correctly (there is no more issue on the cursor anymore like in the preview 0.0b and the previous beta, I assume that to post a release tonight, they couldn’t fix in time the whole timeline issue, and certainly this feature will be available in a next release, but i agree that to put it in the “known issues” would have been better. “some fix on the trim / seek, but still not 100% fixed”

Can we please get some consistency with the way the paths are listed? Slashes running in opposite directions looks messy plus when you click on the folder icon for each it takes you to the export folder for all 3 instances when it should be taking you to the currently set folders!

Again
it’s so clear this product is not even being looked at before we get it.

Seeking IS NOT FIXED.

Scrubbing means that you see the video WHILE you move the cursor, not a black screen until you stop. How are you supposed to find what you’re looking for?

They LITERALLY broke functionality that at least “semi” worked.

Crop to fill issue : button not working on a 4/3 video while selecting FHD output size.
no change appears on the resolution written. 1920x1080 stay instead of showing 1440x1080.

I confirm the other issue reported by the other above, missing information on preview. nothing except the green check mark.

Calm down please, english langage problem here. don’t know the difference between the english words Trim, Seeking and Scrubbin (need dictionnary, or that someone explain me the difference (i know each feature, just that don’t know what each word is related to, just english vocabulary issue)

yes, i agree with all of you on everything. this release is broken. certainly a fix will be posted i think tomorrow or maybe in the night because it’s absolutly not usable.

The preview works fine when trying the stabilizer (which looks better than the previous version) but nothing happens when exporting the file. (ie I am unable to export a video)

Am I supposed to press some button to start the processing?

I configure the settings and then press ‘Export’ and it just queues up the video.

Nothing is happening at all.

Notes say if export fails, change the audio settings to either transcode or no audio.

modification of what i said before. got it.
Crop to fill : it’s doing a zoom and fill the empty space when a 4/3 video (or other non widescreen format) is used with a widescreen output.
crop to fill turned off render a FHD video with black bars with a 4/3 video.
i found unfortunate that one request about this has been taken in consideration. now, we must put a 4/3 custom resolution to have an automatic crop.

Nah, you don’t. Just set custom height. It fills in the rest.

yes i know that’s what i’m doing but before it was automatic.

anyway, just did an export, and it’s worked, just that all informations are missing.
