Auto Clip V3 – Release Notes 🎧

This release focuses on DJ-style album teasers, with a strong emphasis on old school trance, phrasing, and harmonic flow.

Highlights

• Bar-accurate cuts that feel like real DJ transitions
• Harmonic ordering using Camelot keys
• Consistent loudness using 2-pass normalization
• Fully local workflow (no cloud, no uploads)

Ideal use cases

• Album / EP teaser creation
• DJ promo reels
• Trance and electronic music previews
• Quick rollcall or mini-mix teasers

What’s new in V3

• Harmonic mixing (best-effort key detection)
• Phrase-aligned bar snapping
• Pre-roll bars for smoother transitions
• Improved loudness consistency
• Cleaner, more musical teaser flow

Known limitations

• Key detection may be inaccurate on very pad-heavy or ambient tracks
• Downbeat detection is heuristic-based, not ML-trained
