Changelog

New features, improvements, and fixes across every Iris Studio release.

v0.10.0

May 5, 2026

YouTube Channel Pull, Bad Take detection in Clip Cut, refreshed Extensions panel.

Added

YouTube Channel Pull tool — paste a channel handle, scan for latest Videos or Shorts, review/select, and batch-download into a group on the canvas
Bad Take detection in Clip Cut — wand button on transcription cards finds and strikes through stumbles, retakes, and filler in a single pass; bands render directly on the timeline
Extensions tab — refreshed sidebar replacing the old Plugins surface, with per-extension homepage links, install progress, and grouped categories (Local AI / Tools / Iris API)

Improved

Tab switching is much snappier — Video Editor mounts once and stays mounted; Assets, Image Search, and other heavy tabs lazy-load on first visit
Group cards on the canvas: drag from anywhere in the empty body, click-through to interact with children inside, resize is collision-clamped to children's bounds, multi-drag uses direct DOM updates (no more lag or dim flicker)
Channel Pull respects YouTube's content-type split — pick Videos or Shorts up front, and placeholders spawn at the correct aspect ratio (16:9 or 9:16)
Pre-bundle deps in Vite config so first-time visits to lazy tabs don't fetch missing chunks

Fixed

Pressing Escape during pick mode now restores focus to the AI generation prompt
Filter dropdowns inside the YouTube search drawer no longer close the drawer when you click them
Header on the Channel Pull form actually renders (was clipped by overflow)
Vite chunk 404s on first load after pulling new code
