API 1.7.0: cutting, music, voice, captions from speech

The single edit operation catalog has grown — the new operations work in POST /v1/projects/{id}/edits, in the MCP tool edit_project, in the AI assistant and for the director in the Chat. All of them are free.

Cutting and fragment look#

• split_block, trim_block, duplicate_block — split a fragment at a video moment, trim or extend it at the start or end, duplicate it.
• freeze_frame and set_hold — a freeze frame and its length.
• replace_source — show another source in a fragment; in a fragment with speech the new picture goes over it as an insert.
• set_process — free processing: reverse, stabilization, noise reduction, audio enhancement.
• apply_keyframe_preset — a camera move across the whole fragment: zoom in, zoom out, pan.
• tune_block — the new background field: a blurred background or a colour behind a fitted picture.

Music and voice#

• set_music, remove_music — a track from the sources or project media, volume, ducking under speech, start, fade-in and fade-out.
• fit_music, fit_to_beats — the track fitted to the video length, footage cuts snapped to the beats.
• add_voice, move_voice, trim_voice, set_voice_volume, remove_voice — a voice recording on the voice track.

Inserts and elements#

• add_insert, update_insert, remove_insert — your own photos and videos over the video, full frame or in a window.
• update_plaque, update_card, update_zoom — change a plaque, a card (label, your own photo) and a zoom in place.
• set_element_position — move an emoji, card or plaque around the frame.
• set_phrase_text, reset_phrase_text — the caption text of a whole phrase.
• move_element — now also moves sounds and markers.

Captions from speech#

• POST /v1/projects/{id}/transcribe — recognise the speech in the sources, like Captions from speech in the editor: after that a project without the AI director gets captions, and words with ids appear in the video text. The sources and language fields are optional. Priced at cost per minute of sound: without confirmCost the response is the price (a Quote with estimate and cost), with it — a start in the background.
• GET /v1/projects/{id}/transcribe — recognition jobs: processing, ready or failed (then the tokens come back).
• POST /v1/estimate — the new transcribe kind (needs projectId).
• MCP — the transcribe_speech and get_transcribe_jobs tools.

New skip reasons: block_or_source_not_found, audio_not_found, no_music_or_beats, recording_not_found, media_or_place_not_found, word_not_found. Clients don't need to change anything — all changes are within /v1.
