1.8
2023-08-01
Spool 1.8 has some *unreal* new features, and an amazing new platform for creating:
* iPad version. This is a game changer – Spool is now available on the iPad. Experience the full impact of your visuals while you edit. Make adjustments and easily view details with the ease of a bigger interface.
* Tool tips. Our new "tool tips" help you navigate Spool. They describe features, explain icons and buttons, and make everything easy to understand.
* Feedback FX. A crazy new effect used heavily by VJs for simple yet mind-blowing visuals. Feedback blends the previous video frame with the current one. You can create motion by rotating or translating the feedback over time. When used lightly, a subtle softness or ghost-like look is created.
* Warped Visions FX. This FX is similar to Spool's oscilloscope effects but has softer transitions and the ability to bend the video clockwise or counter-clockwise.
* A variety of bug fixes. Spool is young and growing, and we'll continue tackling bugs as they show up.

2023-06-20
Get excited: Spool 1.7 has some seriously big new features including a game-changer: Timeline Editor! Enjoy the following:
* Timeline Editor. From the performer screen, tap the timeline icon – or the timeline itself – to open up our new editor. It's a powerful editor that responds intuitively to your touch: Scroll to different places on the timeline or to zoom in and out for easier visualization. Make adjustments and fix mistakes by using the editor to move or delete clips and effects from the timeline.
* New FX: RGB Shift. An awesome effect that splits the color channels in a video.
* New FX: Chroma Zoom. A super sweet color blur - reminiscent of cheap cameras - that gives a blurry, halo-like effect.
* 100 new songs added to our music library.
* A variety of bug fixes. Spool is young and growing, and we'll continue tackling bugs as they show up.
1.6.1
2023-05-16
Spool 1.6.1 is full of new features you requested. Enjoy the following:
* Sync Mode. When setting a pad to Sync Mode, the video clip will play all the way through and will not start over if you tap the pad again (or any other pad). It stays in sync with the global time of your music, regardless of how many other videos or effects you perform. This setting works wonders with our new self-recording feature.
* Self-Recording. You can now use your device's camera to record a video directly into the app. Tap "Edit" on any pad > Swap Video > Record into Spool. Pro tip: try recording yourself lip syncing, playing an instrument, or dancing to your song. With Sync Mode enabled, each time you tap the pad of your performance, it will already be perfectly timed to match your song.
* Fade transitions. You can now tweak each pad so it smoothly fades into the next clip, making your edits *much* more interesting and polished.
* TikTok & Instagram Sharing. Our new integration with TikTok and Instagram allows you to easily export and share your videos with your followers.
* We've added a smoothness setting to the waveform generator, for even more control and customization of this new effect. It's so cool, definitely check it out.
* Variety of bug fixes. Spool is young and growing, and we'll continue tackling bugs as they show up.
