Breaking Changes

Transcript mode is now the default layout for subtitle tabs

Subtitle tabs now open in Transcript mode by default instead of the previous one-cue-per-line subtitle layout. Transcript mode groups cues into flowing paragraphs, making longer transcripts much easier to read.

You can switch between modes at any time using the toggle button in the tab header or from the pane menu. Each tab remembers its own mode independently.

To restore the old default, go to Settings > Transcript > Default view for subtitle tabs and select Subtitle (one cue per line).

What's New

Transcript mode with paragraph layout

Transcript mode for subtitles

A new way to view subtitles: individual cues are merged into flowing paragraphs, making longer transcripts much easier to read. Each paragraph shows a clickable timestamp for quick seeking, and playback auto-scroll follows paragraphs instead of jumping line by line.

Select any part of the transcript and paste into your note — the timestamped link is included automatically, just like in subtitle mode.

Three per-tab toggles are available in the tab header and pane menu:

  • Transcript mode — switch between paragraph and subtitle layout
  • Show timestamps — toggle the timestamp gutter
  • Highlight current word — highlight the word being spoken during playback

Click-to-open media from transcript

Clicking a timestamp in a transcript tab that isn't synced to any player now opens the linked media file and seeks to that position. This follows the same click/alt-click behavior you've configured for media links elsewhere.

Media clip embed in editor context menu

The editor's right-click Media submenu now includes Add media clip embed, giving quick access to the media clip embed action without needing the command palette.

Two new options in Link click behavior and Alt-click behavior settings: New pane on the top and New pane on the left. These complement the existing split-right and split-bottom options.

Smarter tab reuse when opening media from browser

Opening a media URL via the browser extension now reuses an existing tab showing the same media instead of always opening a new one. The notice also shows a cleaner label (e.g. "YouTube: dQw4w9WgXcQ" instead of a long URL) and displays the timestamp when present.

"Open media note" in media view menu

The Open media note command is now always visible in the media view's pane menu, making it easier to jump to (or create) the linked note.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the web viewer login command not appearing until patching completed. It now shows as soon as the web viewer is available.
