v1.0.9

CurrentReleased：2026-06-10

Re-exports get dramatically faster: unchanged scenes are reused instantly instead of being re-encoded — fix one scene and re-export in seconds.

Scene-level render cache

Each scene's rendered video is cached, keyed on everything that affects its output (media, narration audio, subtitles, styles, resolution, motion). On re-export, unchanged scenes are reused instantly with a 'reusing previous render ⚡' progress message.
A 'fix one scene out of thirty and re-export' cycle drops from a full re-encode to a single scene + concat. The cache is capped at 2 GB with oldest-first eviction and invalidates automatically on app updates.

Performance & responsiveness

Media duration probes are memoized per file, eliminating repeated analysis during export and scene switching.
Scene and overlay lists rebuild with a single UI update, smoothing imports and edits on large decks.

v1.0.8

Released：2026-06-05

SCORM 1.2 export ships straight into your LMS, plus scene-level recording, dual picture-in-picture overlays, and audio-first output.

SCORM 1.2 LMS distribution

Export training videos as SCORM 1.2 packages and deliver them to Moodle / Canvas / TalentLMS / Cornerstone and other major LMS.
Automatic learning records: completion at 95% viewed, resume-position seek, session time, and review-mode protection of prior completions.
Verified with zero parser warnings on Rustici SCORM Cloud, and recognized as an activity with successful SCO parsing on Moodle 4.5.

Audio & narration

Per-scene in-app microphone recording (NAudio WaveIn). Switch among three audio sources (auto-voice TTS / recording / import) per scene with a single flag.
During export and preview, the audio source used for each scene is shown by a human-readable name in the status bar.
Bulk Narrator Assignment: edit language and narrator voice per slide in a single view, with jump-to-current, voice / modified-row filters, JSON import / export, and AI prompt copy.

Accessibility & manual creation

Dual picture-in-picture overlays plus a sign-language slot for accessibility-ready output.
New 'Manual creation' ribbon group consolidates screen recording and step capture, improving discoverability of tutorial-video tools.

UI improvements

Refreshed scene editing panel: audio source selection unified into one row (auto-voice TTS / import / recording / media audio / wipe audio), icons unified to Segoe MDL2 Assets.
Scene list titles now wrap to two lines, the action row wraps automatically so buttons are never cut off, and the left panel is wider.

Critical fixes

Fixed the wipe-position slider not being reflected in output and overflowing off-screen (now clamped to a safe range).
Fixed a WAV parser bug showing negative recording lengths, the progress-rollback display right after export start, and scene-preview status not updating.

v1.0.7

Released：2026-05-07

License stability fix, global rollout, and UI consistency improvements

License & purchase flow

Removed WMI CPU ID dependency from DeviceFingerprint, eliminating 'in use on another device' and 'license auto-deleted' incidents.
Eliminated Backstage → license screen hang (consolidated into the Help ribbon).
UI-language-based LemonSqueezy store routing (ja → JPY JP store, others → USD global store).

Network & stability

Set HttpClient timeout to 30s to prevent freezes on slow international connections.

UI improvements

Unified Help ribbon group order with Insight Doc Translator (8 buttons).
Unified the Backstage 'Close File' label with Insight Doc Translator.
Refreshed installer banners to Apple/Adobe-grade premium designs generated with GPT Image 2.0.
StepCapture now provides instant click feedback, hook failure detection, and save destination display.

Critical fixes & i18n

TextOverlay max font size 240 + fixed resolution-dependent position/size bugs.
Replaced 'Project' terminology with context-specific 'file', 'overall', 'new', etc. across all 4 languages.
Subtitle preview sample characters now vary by locale (Aあ / Aa / A字 / A가).

v1.0.6

Released：2026-05-03

Subtitles ↔ PowerPoint speaker notes two-way sync. Two-person review/production workflow now possible

Major new features

Two-way sync between subtitles and PowerPoint speaker notes. Reviewers check subtitles in PowerPoint while video producers adjust readings in Insight Training Studio.
Stabilized single-PPTX-file workflow (customXml changed to well-formed XML, eliminating repair dialog issues).
Unified multi-language license dialog (Insight Training Studio and Insight Doc Translator share the same purchase screen via InsightCommon, with LemonSqueezy payment integration complete).

UI improvements

Ribbon cleanup: 'Open' split into 'Open PPTX' / 'Open PDF' for clarity.
Open Recent now in dropdown (recent files visible in one click).
Taskbar name unified: 'InsightCast' → 'Insight Training Studio'.
Welcome screen hero icon changed to video-themed (no longer confused with PowerPoint icon).
Manual editing group removed; Record Screen / Record Steps integrated into the editing group.

Critical bug fixes

Fixed critical bug where subtitle black-bar was not rendered when subtitles contained straight double quotes.
Fixed missing toast notifications (now shown on save, scene delete, video export complete).
Fixed unexpanded placeholder shown in video export complete dialog title.
