Changelog

Everything new across Novus Music Visualizers — engines, editor features, performance, and fixes. Have a request? Let us know.

  1. Advanced Filter, Export & Preview Fixes

    v1.22

    The Advanced template filter now lists every advanced engine, MP4 export can't hang, overlay previews reflect live opacity, and category cards show more distinct previews.

    • FixedThe Advanced (ADV) template filter and category now list all advanced engines instead of showing 0.
    • FixedTemplate filters (including dimension) now persist in the URL so refreshing or sharing keeps your view.
    • FixedMP4 export can no longer hang indefinitely — the converter now times out and falls back to WebM with a clear message.
    • ImprovedOverlay previews in the editor now reflect the overlay's live opacity setting.
    • ImprovedBrowse-by-type and category cards show more distinct, tailored previews across more engine families.
  2. Previews, Navigation & Editor Fixes

    v1.21

    Single-variant previews that cycle through each engine's modes, reliable single-click navigation, and continued editor/effect fixes.

    • ImprovedTemplate previews now showcase each engine's modes — hovering a card cycles through its visualization modes instead of switching dimensions.
    • FixedOpening a template now works on the first click (no more double-click or refresh needed).
    • ImprovedEach 2D / 3D / 4D / Advanced variant is shown as its own card so you can browse every dimension of every engine.
    • FixedPreviews now start smoothly and stay beat-synced — no more spurious flash/burst when the audio first kicks in.
    • ImprovedFaster page loads — templates render instantly and database setup runs once instead of on every request.
  3. Reliability & Sharing Overhaul

    v1.20

    A foundational pass on data durability, video export, render performance, and how visualizers are shared across the web.

    • FixedSaved albums, templates, and projects now persist durably — fixed a configuration fallback that could drop user content on redeploys.
    • FixedVideo export progress now always shows a sensible 0–100% (no more runaway negative percentages during MP4 conversion).
    • ImprovedSmoother editor and export performance by eliminating costly per-frame canvas read-backs on advanced engines.
    • ImprovedAudio now starts reliably after your first interaction on the page via a unified gesture-unlock system.
    • ImprovedLink previews (Open Graph / Twitter cards) now resolve to the correct domain, so shared visualizers and templates preview correctly everywhere.
    • NewNative mobile share sheet support in the Share dialog, plus a public changelog page.
    • ImprovedSearch engine sitemap and robots rules cleaned up — public pages indexed, private pages excluded.
