Here’s the full tour.

GPU Acceleration — exports up to 3× faster

This is THE big one. Cut The Flow now automatically detects your graphics card (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Apple Silicon) and offloads rendering to the hardware pipeline.

• Automatic GPU detection through WebGL 2.0
• “High-performance” mode enabled by default on capable machines
• Smart fallback to CPU when no GPU is available
• New “HARDWARE ACCELERATION” toggle inside the export panel
• GPU name displayed directly in the UI

Real-world impact: exports run 2 to 3 times faster, your machine’s fan stays quiet, and the preview stays smooth even on complex projects.

Native 4K and 8K support — fluid editing, full-quality export

Importing a 4K or 8K clip no longer chokes the timeline. Cut The Flow generates a lightweight “proxy” version automatically for editing, then uses the original full-quality file at export time.

• Background generation of 720p / 1080p proxies
• Three preview quality modes: LOW (fast), AUTO (recommended), FULL (native)
• Up to 5× faster timeline playback on 4K footage
• 60 to 80% less GPU load during editing
• Zero quality loss in the final export

The workflow: import in 4K, edit smoothly, export in 4K. No compromise.

Professional multitrack timeline

The editing engine has been redesigned to feel like desktop tools, without the weight:

• Unlimited video and audio tracks
• Direct drag & drop from your media library
• Pixel-accurate cuts and trims
• Snap-to-grid for clean alignment
• Smooth zoom for precision work
• Copy / paste clips
• Undo / Redo across 50 states

Advanced audio mixing

Audio is no longer an afterthought. Cut The Flow now ships with real multitrack mixing and continuous playback across cuts — no more awkward gaps between clips.

• Multiple simultaneous audio tracks
• Independent volume per clip
• Automatic audio/video sync
• Fade in / fade out
• Continuous playback across transitions

⚡ Overall performance

Under the hood, several major optimizations:

• WebCodecs API support (Chrome 94+) for hardware decoding
• Adaptive preview that scales to your machine’s power
• Optimized memory handling for long projects
• Background export so you can keep working
