The new AI-trained algorithm in the high-performance video retiming tool reduces artifacts in tricky shots, like fast-moving objects with a lot of blur. Of course, Twixtor already worked great on most shots, but click here to check out RE:Vision Effects playlist that demonstrates the improvements v8 makes on hard-to-retime shots. It’s already getting “crazy good” reviews so you’ll want to test drive our v8 right away!

Zebralette 3 is an audio plugin that is the first step toward the evolution of Zebra.

Current version: v3 beta, revision 15573

Release date: March 29, 2024

From the beta page:
“Zebralette 3 is the first big step towards the next phase of Zebra’s evolution.
Like its predecessor, Zebralette 3 consists of a single Zebra oscillator with a few modulation sources and effects added, all wrapped in a fresh and modern, fully vectorized GUI.
The oscillator module alone is a world of its own, with a spline-based wavetable editor at its core, up to sixteen wavetable snapshots featuring a variety of morphing options, two oscillator effect slots with over twenty effects to choose from, and an audio engine switchable between wavetable and additive synthesis.”
