Wide-shot: new "Overlap only" mode
- New "Overlap only" option in Wide-shot frequency (between Off and Low). It
goes wide ONLY when people who are NOT in the same shot talk over each other
— the editorially "right" reason to go wide — and never inserts a timed
variety wide. Off = no wide ever; Overlap only = wide just on cross-shot
cross-talk; Low = that plus a very light variety wide on long holds; Medium
and High add progressively more.
- Note: when speakers who overlap ARE both in one camera (e.g. a 2-shot), OnMic
already cuts to that 2-shot, not the full wide — the wide is reserved for
simultaneous speakers split across cameras.

Faster apply primitive + wide-shot recalibration
- Apply now cuts with a single "add edit across all camera tracks" per switch
point instead of a separate razor per track — fewer Premiere operations, so
it's faster. Your mic audio (and any non-camera video like graphics) is
locked during the cut so only the camera tracks get sliced, then unlocked
again. The cuts are applied in waves with a progress bar, so you can watch it
work without it looking frozen. [EXPERIMENTAL — please sanity-check that your
audio tracks are untouched after applying.]
- Wide-shot frequency recalibrated. "Low" was over-corrected and could produce
ZERO wides; now Low gives occasional wide (a few-second overlap or a ~24s+
single-camera hold), Medium more, High the most, Off none.

Apply progress + working wide-shot control
- Apply now shows a live progress bar and stays responsive. It applies in
small batches instead of one long blocking operation, so Premiere no longer
looks frozen on long episodes — you can watch it advance to 100%.
- The "Wide-shot frequency" setting actually works now. Before, it was ignored
and OnMic cut to the wide camera on almost every bit of cross-talk. Now Low
keeps the wide only for sustained 3s+ overlaps, Medium for 2s+, and Off never
cuts to the wide on cross-talk (cross-talk shows the loudest speaker instead).
This also reduces the total number of cuts, so Apply finishes faster.
- Quieter analysis log: the "short read … possible disk glitch" warning no
longer fires when a media file is just slightly shorter than its declared
length (a normal rounding/trim), and repeats are de-duplicated.

No confirm on profile load
- Loading a saved profile no longer pops up a "Load this profile?" confirmation
dialog. Clicking Load is confirmation enough — it just loads.
v0.51 · 2026-06-27
Apply scales to long episodes + honest time estimate
- BIG FIX: "Apply to timeline" no longer freezes Premiere or eats all your
memory on long, cut-heavy podcasts. It used to razor every camera track at
every cut and then do millions of timeline lookups (which froze on an
~1,700-cut episode). It now razors each camera track only where its own
shot actually changes and sets visibility in a single pass — the same edit,
dramatically less work (tens of millions of operations down to a few
thousand) and far fewer clips created.
- "Hours saved" is now realistic: it's based on the program length (a manual
multicam pass is roughly 1.3x real time) instead of assuming 30 seconds of
work per cut, which hugely overcounted fast-paced episodes. An 86-minute
podcast now reads as a couple of hours saved, not 10–20.

Quieter sequence check
- "Check my sequence" no longer shows the "X isolated mic channels but Y
speakers" warning or the "Track order: …" note. They could appear even on a
perfectly correct setup and were more confusing than helpful.
- Removed the "Setup help" link/button — it pointed to a page that doesn't
exist yet.
v0.49 · 2026-06-26
Quieter mic labels
- Removed the "+0.2dB" gain text next to each mic channel — it was confusing
and served no purpose on screen. OnMic still reads and uses Premiere clip
gain during analysis; it just no longer clutters the label.
v0.48 · 2026-06-26
Safety, clarity, and setup helpers
- Dead-air trim is safer: it checks there's actually something safe to remove
before backing up or touching the timeline, and if Premiere half-finishes a
trim it now tells you clearly how to restore the backup sequence.
- Applying WITHOUT a backup now needs an explicit typed confirmation, so a
stray click can't run an un-backed-up edit.
- Loading a saved profile now previews what it will change (speaker names and
camera tags) before it applies — no more silently mismatching the wrong show.
- "Hours saved" is now clearly an estimate ("estimated manual editing avoided",
shown as a rough range), and its lifetime total is stored only in OnMic's
private folder so it never follows a project around.
- The camera-tag picker no longer gets clipped in a narrow panel.
- "Check my sequence" now spells out the speaker-to-track order plainly and
gives bigger, clearer next steps when Premiere reports tracks as locked.
- The "update available" notice now shows even on the sign-in / expired screen.
- Calmer wording: "Signed in recently — OnMic will recheck when you're online."
- NEW: after "Check my sequence", one-click fixes (re-read, add preview markers,
rename tracks from speaker names, setup help).
- NEW: a "Before you cut" checklist that auto-ticks what OnMic can verify.
- NEW: "Copy support bundle" — one click copies version, OS, Premiere version,
track/lock/device status, and the recent log for faster support.
