Resume maker
Nov 2026
New

A free resume maker: fill in the boxes and get a PDF, on your phone

  • A new free tool, resume-maker.html (and resume-maker-hi.html in Hindi). Choose Classic, Modern (a coloured band and a side column) or Photo CV, one of six colours and the size of the letters, then write your details, experience, education, skills and more. The page of your resume is drawn beside the boxes (below them on a phone) and changes as you type. It is in the footer, the list of free tools and the home page, and the admin dashboard has names for it.
  • A PDF with real text: A4, up to 6 pages, with words that can be selected and copied and read by job sites, and a phone number and email that open a call or a mail when tapped. A heading is never left alone at the bottom of a page. Download it, or share it from a phone.
  • For Indian resumes: a photo cut to the shape of a passport photo on your device, and, if you want them, date of birth, father’s name, marital status, nationality, address and a declaration. The rupee sign is written as Rs.
  • Private: the PDF is made in your browser and nothing you write is sent to us. What you write is kept in this browser only, so the page opens as you left it, and the Delete my data button removes it. Only the fact that a PDF was given out, and its template, is counted.
  • English letters for now: the PDF holds English letters only (write Rahul, not राहुल). If other letters are typed, the page names them and does not make the PDF; a Hindi resume comes later.
Feedback replies
Nov 2026
New

Sign in to write to us, and get our reply on your Account page

  • Sign in with Google to send: when you press Send in the Feedback box, a small Google window asks you to sign in (one tap on OK; if you are signed in already it just sends, and what you wrote is kept meanwhile). Your name and email come with the message, so we know who to answer, and the box tells you so before you send. Inside the browser of another app such as Instagram, Google does not allow sign-in: the box says so and can copy the link, to open in Chrome or Safari.
  • Our reply: we answer from the dashboard, and you see the answer on your Account page, under Your messages. A red dot next to your name at the top, a small bar (once for each new reply) and a line in the Feedback box tell you when there is one.
  • Safer: a message needs a real sign-in, the name and email are the ones of the sign-in (not typed), and one person can send ten a day. The Contact page is as before.
Feedback box
Nov 2026
New

Write to us from any page, and tell a friend on WhatsApp

  • Feedback: a link at the bottom of every page and a Send feedback row in the menu of Nova Forms, Nova Audio, Nova Studio and Nova Animate (a button in the top bar of Nova Clip and of Nova Animate 3D). It opens a small box where you can write up to 500 letters. To send, you sign in with Google, so that we know who to answer. The message comes to the owner under Messages, with the name of the page and phone or computer.
  • Something went wrong? When a tool shows a message that says something failed, a small bar offers Tell us what happened for ten seconds (once in ten minutes at most). It opens the same box.
  • Share on WhatsApp: after someone taps Good or Loved it on the feedback card, the card ends by asking if they know someone who needs the tool, with a button that opens WhatsApp with a message and a link to the page. Visits that come from those links are counted in the dashboard under Where visitors came from (wa_share).

Update

The admin dashboard: how people rate each tool, and what they say

  • Four new panels under the usual lists: Tool ratings (the average of the faces for each tool, 1 to 5, the lowest first, red under 3, with how many ratings it comes from and an arrow when it moved by 0.2 or more on the days before), What went wrong and What to improve (each kind, with the change on the days before and the tools it was said about), and Answers to our own questions (the votes of the two built-in questions, which new tool to build and how to improve).
  • Three new lines in What stood out: the lowest rated tool, the most common problem and the tool that leads the vote for a new one. They come on top of the eleven lines that were shown before, so none of those goes away. The report PDF has the same lists and the same lines.
  • A tool is listed once it has 3 ratings, so that one tap does not make a 5.0. The thumbs of the older export card are not in the averages. The dashboard now reads the newest 2,000 taps (it read 500); when they do not reach back to the start of the period, the panels, the card Happy ratings (in the report too) and the lines say since when and compare with nothing.
Feedback card
Nov 2026
New

A small card asks how a tool went, and what you would like next

  • After a tool gives you a result (a file made, a cut-out, a QR code, a typing test), a small card at the bottom of the screen asks How was it? with five faces. One tap. It waits until you have done nothing for a moment and no sheet or dialog is open, so it never comes on top of what you are doing. It comes at most once a week; a cross closes it and it comes back after a minute, then later and later if you keep closing it.
  • A bad face is asked What went wrong? (bad result, too slow, an error, hard to understand), then how to improve it. A good face is asked What should we improve?, then which new tool to build. Every question is answered with one tap on a button. Nothing is typed, and no name, email, number, file or cookie is sent: each tap is one small anonymous record.
  • The last question is chosen by us in the admin dashboard, under Feedback questions: up to five, each for everyone, for bad faces or for good faces, on every tool or just one, until a last day; a person is shown one that they have not answered. Without one, a built-in question is asked. The dashboard lists every tap (filters for bad faces and ideas, mark read, delete) and downloads all of them as a CSV file. It replaces the “How did your export go?” card of the editor; the “Liked exports” tile is now “Happy ratings”.
  • It needs the newest firestore.rules published in Firebase before the new site is uploaded. Browsers that block storage, and automated browsers, are never asked.
QR code generator
Nov 2026
New tool

A free QR code generator, in English and Hindi

  • A new free tool, qr-code-generator.html (and qr-code-generator-hi.html in Hindi), makes a QR code for a link, plain text, a WhatsApp chat, a UPI payment, a Wi-Fi network, a place on the map, a contact card, a phone number or an email. The code is made while you type, and you get it as a PNG or an SVG, or share it or copy it from a phone. It is in the footer, the list of free tools and the home page, and the admin dashboard has names for it.
  • You choose the colours, the size (256 to 2048 pixels) and how much damage the code can take. The page says when the colours are too close, when the code is lighter than its background, when the code is so fine that it must be printed big, and when the text is too long for a QR code. The codes are static: they never expire and they do not go through us.
  • What you type (a Wi-Fi password, a UPI ID, a phone number) is made into a code in your browser: it is not sent anywhere and not saved. The page keeps on your device only the colours, the size, the level and the last kind you used. The tool counts that a code was made and of which kind, never what is in it. The button Use my location asks for the location of your device only when you tap it, and puts it into the box on the page.
  • The code itself is made by uqr (MIT licence, a small port of the generator of Project Nayuki), kept in the files of the site. The tests read the codes back with a different program, ZXing, for every kind, every level and many sizes and colours.
Nova Animate 3D
Nov 2026
New page

Nova Animate 3D has a page of its own

  • A new page, nova-animate-3d.html, says what Nova Animate 3D is: a short loop made with the tool itself, pictures of its screens, the characters and the places, how it works in four steps, a part in Hindi and the questions people ask. It is in the footer, on the Features page, the home page and the Nova Animate page, so that someone who has never heard of it can find it, and in the sitemap, so that search engines know of it. The tool itself (/animate-3d.html) stays out of search engines while it is a beta.
  • Nothing on the page is typed twice: the numbers and the names (the characters, the moves, the places, the cameras and the longest video) are read from the files of the tool when the site is built, so the page cannot say what the tool does not do. The pictures are not drawn either: scripts/make-animate3d-shots.mjs opens the real tool in Chrome and photographs it, and makes the loop with the tool’s own Make video button.
  • The Help Center search and the FAQ page know the questions of the new page, and the admin dashboard has a name for it (Nova Animate 3D page) among the product pages.
  • The search box of the FAQ page said Search 19 questions while the page has more than forty; it now says Search the questions.

Nov 2026
Update

Two fixes from the admin report of 1 November

  • The manuals have a stylesheet that is only used for printing (manual-print.css). When it was slow to come, or did not come, the page was started again (or the bar A part of this page did not load was shown) for a file that only a printer would have used. It is left alone now, and nothing is written down about it. A stylesheet that the page needs is treated as before.
  • My animations (Nova Animate): an animation whose saved copy was gone from the phone (the browser cleared it, or the phone ran out of room) could be neither opened nor copied (Couldn’t open that animation, Couldn’t copy that animation), and its name stayed in the list for ever, to be tapped again and again. Its name is now taken off the list, with a line that says so. Not when the copy could not be read just this once (it may still be there), and never the animation that is open.
  • Not changed: the pictures and scripts of the site that did not load on a slow connection (the page asks for them again, as before), and the old browsers that cannot run the apps (they get the bar that says so).
Nova Animate 3D
Nov 2026
Update

Nova Animate 3D: send a link to your video, and open the link of a friend

  • A new round Share button on the preview (and Send a link to this video in the sheet of a finished video) gives a link to the video you made. A friend who opens it sees the same video, with the same character, clothes colour, moves, place and camera, plays it, changes anything, and makes their own version.
  • The link holds only the choices (from about 35 to about 435 letters), in the part after #, which a browser never sends to a server: it has no picture, voice or face, nothing is uploaded and we never receive it. The page behind the link builds the video on the phone of the friend, from the characters, moves and places that it has itself, and believes nothing else: a link with a character, move, place, camera or shape that it does not know is turned away with a message, lengths are put right as they are for any saved video, and a link that was cut short says so.
  • Someone who has a video of their own on the page is asked before it is replaced (Open this video or Keep my video); a page that still has the video it starts with opens the shared one at once. The link is taken out of the address at once, so a reload does not bring it back.
  • The link ends in ?utm_source=remix, so the dashboard shows the visits that come from shared links as remix (tagged link), and two new anonymous counts: Link to my video shared and Shared video opened. Nothing about the video itself is counted.

Oct 2026
Update

The admin dashboard: which country and state the visitors come from

  • The dashboard has two new lists, Countries and States (in the report PDF too), with each place’s share of the visitors, a Place not known row for the visitors whose place did not come, and a line in What stood out.
  • Once a day per browser, the page asks a small Cloudflare Worker of ours (worker-geo/) where the visit comes from, and adds one to the count for the country and the state. The Worker works them out from the IP address of that request, answers with the two names only, and does not store or log the address; only the count is kept. Nothing is asked when your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control. The privacy policy and the FAQ say so.
  • The country is nearly always right (a VPN shows the VPN’s country). The state is a good guess, not a fact: a phone on mobile data is often placed in a big city or in the next state. The dashboard says so.
  • It does nothing until the address of the Worker is put in site-config.js (geoUrl) and the newest firestore.rules are published in Firebase.

Update

Nova Animate: a tap with the Select tool is a tap, not a very small drag

  • When you tapped what you wanted to select, a finger that rolled 7 pixels or more before it lifted counted as a very short drag: the Lasso said “That loop is too small”, and Box said “That is too small” or lifted a thin sliver of your drawing. A finger can now roll up to 15 pixels (how far the browser itself lets it go and still call it a tap) and it is a tap: it says “Draw around what you want to select.” and nothing happens to your drawing. A mouse starts a drag after 6 pixels and a pen after 8, so a small box can still be drawn with them.
  • Not changed: a circle, a C, a U, a box or a Lasso drawn around a part, and the words for a line and for a path that is really small.

Feature

Nova Animate 3D: your character copies your face

  • On the Voice tab, Copy my face turns on the front camera and the character copies you, as in a mirror: its mouth opens when yours does, its eyes shut when yours do, and its head turns, nods and leans with yours. Centre tells it what “straight” is for you.
  • Record my face records a performance of up to 60 seconds: with your voice (the microphone), to a sound or song you chose (it plays while you sing along or move your lips), or with no sound. The camera is a little late, so the face is lined up with the sound by itself when the two are alike enough, and Face timing moves it by hand, half a second either way.
  • The performance is played in the preview and is in the video, and Starts at and the length of the video work for it as they do for a voice. Remove face takes it away.
  • Your face is looked at on your phone: no picture of the camera is saved, uploaded or sent, and what is kept is numbers (the mouth, the eyes and the head, thirty times a second) in the memory of the page while it is open. The camera is let go when you turn it off, leave the tab, hide or close the page, or make a video. The first time, the face finder is downloaded (about 8 MB; the privacy page says from where). The admin dashboard counts the videos that were made with a face, anonymously.

Feature

Nova Animate 3D: a voice for your character, and videos up to 60 seconds

  • A new Voice tab: record your voice with the microphone or choose a sound file (MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG ...), and the character talks: its mouth opens when the voice is loud and shuts in the pauses, and its head nods a little with it. It works for any language (it follows how loud the voice is, not the words), so a voice with no music in it works best. Starts at moves the voice later in the video, Sound on / off is for the preview only, and Remove voice takes it away.
  • The sound is played with the preview, in step with the picture, and it is the sound of the video when you make one (a tick in the Make video sheet lets you leave it out). The mouth in the video is the mouth you saw in the preview.
  • A new move, Talk: the character explains something, the head nods and turns, a hand comes up now and then. With no voice it moves its mouth as if it were saying something; with a voice, the mouth follows the voice. When the voice is longer than your moves, one tap adds Talk for the rest.
  • A video can now be 60 seconds (it was 30) and have up to 40 moves (it was 24).
  • The voice is kept in the memory of the page only while it is open: it is not saved and not sent anywhere (the privacy page says so). The admin dashboard counts the videos that were made with a voice, anonymously.

New (beta)

Nova Animate 3D (beta): make a video of a 3D character on your phone

  • A new page, Nova Animate 3D (/animate-3d.html, and in the Nova Animate menu): pick a character (Boy, Girl, Dog, Cat, Bunny, Panda, Robot or Dino, and the colour of its clothes), put moves one after another (Stand, Walk, Run, Wave, Jump, Dance, Clap, Namaste, Sleep; each can be made shorter or longer, moved or deleted; up to 30 seconds), choose a place (Sunny day, Sunset, Night, Beach, Snow or a Stage with a dance floor) and a camera (Front, 3/4, Orbit, Zoom in or Hero), and make a video in the shape you want: tall (9:16) for Reels, Shorts and WhatsApp status, wide (16:9) or square (1:1).
  • Everything is made on your device with WebGL: the picture you see while you edit is the same drawing that is put in the video, frame by frame, so the video shows what the preview showed. Nothing is uploaded. The video is an MP4 on browsers that can make one (most phones), otherwise WebM, with a button to share it, one to download it and one that sends it to the Nova Clip editor to add music and text.
  • When the character walks or runs it stays in the picture and the places go past it, so it never leaves the frame; the whole character, with its arms up, fits in the picture in every shape and every camera (the tests measure it).
  • It is a beta: no sound yet, one character at a time, and it needs a browser that can do 3D (WebGL); a clear message says so when it cannot. The page keeps your choices on this device so that it opens as you left it (the privacy page lists it); the admin dashboard counts the videos made, anonymously, like the other apps.

Feature

Nova Animate: What’s new, the idea of the day, and the announcement of the site

  • What’s new is the first row of the menu (⋯), with a New label: a sheet with a short moving picture (a girl dances, a dog runs, a boy claps), two lines of words and a Try it button that opens Stickers on the kids. It is a still picture for a person who asked their phone for less motion or for Data Saver. A small dot on the menu button says that something is new, and goes away once the card has been opened. The row Character moves of Make it move has a New label too, until the first character move has been made.
  • Idea of the day sits under Or describe it on the New animation screen: one sentence a day, round and round through 50, and a few days with an idea of their own (New Year, Republic Day, Independence Day, Teachers’ Day, Children’s Day, Christmas; the festivals that move, such as Diwali, are not in it). The day is the day where the person is. A tap sends the sentence to the Assistant, which answers with its plan; nothing is made until you tap Yes. Every one of the 56 sentences is made into a plan by the real Assistant in the tests.
  • The announcement that is written in the admin dashboard is now shown in Nova Animate too: as a card at the top of the Menu and of the New animation screen, not as a bar above the drawing (the screen is small, and the drawing must not jump when it arrives). It is shown when a sheet opens, never put into one that is already open. Closing it closes it on every page of the site; a changed message is a new one.
  • WhatsApp: when the address of a WhatsApp channel is put in site-config.js (whatsappUrl), the menu and the What’s new sheet show a link to it, in a new tab. While it is empty nothing is shown; only https addresses of whatsapp.com and wa.me are used.
  • The admin dashboard now counts the moves that the parts of a character made (Walk, Wave, Dance, Run, Clap, Namaste, Sleep), under Nova Animate · Character move, like the exports: one anonymous count for a move that made frames, nothing else, nothing when the browser says Do Not Track. The privacy page says so, and lists what the browser keeps for What’s new.

Nova Animate: Dance, Run, Clap, Namaste and Sleep for animals, children, the family and the gods

  • Put an animal, a child, a grown-up or a god on an empty layer and tap Move: a new row, Character moves, shows what this character can do. Each move is a loop, as Walk is, made with the legs, arms, head, eyes, tail, ears, saree and trunk of the character, not by moving one picture.
  • Dance: one arm goes up high on one beat and the other on the next, the body hops, the head tilts, and the tail, ears, saree and trunk swing. Run: a foot is lifted twice as often as in Walk, and higher, the arms swing wide and the body bounces on every step. Clap: the arms come up and the hands meet three times in front of the chest. Namaste: the hands come together in the middle of the chest, the head bows and the eyes close. Sleep: the eyes close, the head droops, the ears sink and three letters Z float up from the head, one after the other (on the other side, and not turned round, when the character is flipped).
  • Who can do what: all 73 characters made of parts can dance; 72 can run (not Maa Lakshmi, who stands on a lotus); 70 can sleep (not the three frogs, which have no eyes to close); and 17 can clap and fold their hands: the 12 children, Mummy, Papa, Dadi, Bhaiya and Bal Ganesh. The paws and flippers of an animal do not meet, and Dadaji, Didi, Bal Krishna, Maa Lakshmi and Bal Hanuman hold something in their hands. The row shows only what the character on the layer can do.
  • The hands of Clap and Namaste are put where they meet by measuring the picture of each arm, so they meet whatever the arm looks like. If a browser hides what a picture holds, the hands stay down and the Z do not come, and the move still goes on.
  • It works as Walk and Wave do: if you draw on the layer after the character, or put the character on a drawing, the row goes away and the usual moves are left, and nothing you drew is lost. It is remembered when the animation is saved and opened again. How long, How strong and the shadow work for the new moves, and one Undo takes all the frames away. The Assistant, which builds its own frames, is unchanged.
  • The Make it move sheet, both manuals (English, Hindi and their PDFs) and the Nova Animate page say it.

Hindi typing test and Hindi keyboard: the boxes have names, and the key chart starts closed

  • Typing test: the box with the text now says “The text to type” and the box under it says “Type the text here”, so that nobody types into the one that is only to read (the Hindi page has the same names in Hindi). A tap on the name of the box to type in puts the cursor in it. With My text the box to paste in, the text and the box to type in each have their name.
  • Hindi keyboard: the chart of InScript keys under the keyboard started open and looked like a second keyboard, but a tap on it types nothing. It now starts closed, with a button “Show the chart”; every key is still on the page.
  • Not changed: the passages, the scoring, the keys and the converters.

Fix

Hindi typing test, Hindi keyboard and the Kruti Dev converters: the cursor is in the box when you start to type

  • Fixed: the big button at the top of the page (Start the test, Type in Hindi, Convert Kruti Dev text) only moved the page down. The cursor was not in any box, so the first keys that were typed went nowhere. On a computer the button now takes you to the tool and puts the cursor in the box. On a phone it brings up the keyboard in the typing test and in the Hindi keyboard; the converters leave the keyboard of the phone closed until you tap Paste or the box, because it would cover the buttons.
  • Fixed: after you choose the minutes, the level, a tick, Copy or Download with a mouse, the cursor is in the box again, so you can go on typing. A click on the text of the test or on the numbers puts it back too (a click anywhere else on the page takes the cursor out of the box, and the clock goes on). On a phone nothing pops up its keyboard while you are choosing. A link that ends in #test, #keyboard or #converter does the same as the button. With My own text the cursor goes first to the box where you paste it.
  • Fixed: a key that an input method is working on (the Hindi keyboard of a computer, a phonetic keyboard), or that another script already took, is not turned into InScript.
  • Not changed: the passages, the scoring, the InScript table and the converting.

Kruti Dev to Unicode and Unicode to Kruti Dev converters, in English and Hindi

  • New free tool: Kruti Dev to Unicode. Paste text typed in the old Kruti Dev font (it looks like fgUnh) and get real Hindi that works in WhatsApp, Gmail and Google Docs. Paste it, tap Paste, or open a .txt file saved in Windows-1252 (ANSI), UTF-8 or UTF-16, and copy the Hindi or save it as a .txt file. Two ticks: Hindi digits (०-९), and a colon at the end of a word (विषय:) in place of the visarga, which Kruti Dev writes with the same key (the page says when a sign may have meant a colon).
  • New free tool: Unicode to Kruti Dev. Paste Hindi and copy the text for the font Kruti Dev 010 (Word, Photoshop, CorelDRAW, PageMaker), or save it as a Windows-1252 (ANSI) .txt file. After converting, the page turns every Hindi word back into Unicode and names the words that do not come back the same; it names the characters that the font and the file cannot hold (₹, ॐ, an emoji; they become ? in the file), and the English letters and signs (@ & % #) that need an English font after pasting.
  • Tested on all 768,714 syllables of Hindi (each one to Kruti Dev and back), on every Hindi word of the pages of this site and on real paragraphs typed in Kruti Dev. It converts Kruti Dev 010 only, not Chanakya, Shusha, DevLys and the other old fonts.
  • Both converters have a Hindi page (कृतिदेव से यूनिकोड, यूनिकोड से कृतिदेव), and are in the list of free tools and the footer. A text of more than 300,000 characters is not converted at once (a box of a million Hindi letters freezes a phone).
  • What you paste stays in the page: nothing is sent anywhere. The site only counts how many times a result was copied or saved, without any of the text. No new Firebase rule is needed.

Hindi typing test and Hindi keyboard, in English and Hindi

  • New free tool: the Hindi typing test. Choose 1, 2, 5 or 10 minutes and an Easy, Medium, Hard or Office text (20 passages written for this site), or paste a text of your own. The clock starts with your first letter. You get words per minute, accuracy, key depressions per hour (KDPH) and the words to practise.
  • Type the way you like: with the Hindi keyboard of your phone or computer, with the keys of an English keyboard (InScript: K types क, Shift + K types ख), or with the Hindi keyboard on the screen, which can show the next key to press.
  • One skipped or added word is one mistake (the words after it are still counted right, not all wrong). A person who stops before the end is not blamed for the rest. A few words in a few seconds show no speed. Pasting is not allowed. The best speed for each test length is kept on your own device.
  • New free tool: the Hindi keyboard. Write Hindi on a phone or a computer with nothing to install: tap the keys, or press the keys of an English keyboard. Copy the text, send it to WhatsApp or save it as a .txt file; Hindi digits (०-९) on request; a chart of every key. A sign key row (? ! : ₹ and more) shows in the place of the letters, so nothing moves under your finger.
  • Both tools have a Hindi page (हिंदी टाइपिंग टेस्ट, हिंदी कीबोर्ड), and are in the list of free tools and in the footer.

Nova Animate: Select works with a circle that does not close, a C and a U, and says what is wrong when you draw a line

  • A closed loop drawn with Select already worked, but a circle that stops short of its start, a C, a U and a circle drawn fast still gave “That box is too small” or lifted the wrong part, because Box looks only at where your finger starts and where it ends. Now every path that goes round a part is traced like a Lasso: a straight line joins its end to its start, and only what is inside lifts. The dotted line shows that part while your finger is down, so you can see it before you let go. A circle needs only a few points now (it used to need eight), so a quick one works too.
  • A drag from one corner to the opposite one is still a Box, even if it bends a little or goes along two sides of a rectangle.
  • A straight line used to say “That box is too small. Drag a bigger one”, which does not help. Now it says “A line does not select anything. To move a drawing, draw a circle or a box around it first.” A path that is really small says “That is too small. Draw a bigger circle or box around what you want to select.” The Lasso says what it said before.
  • The hint in the Select sheet and both manuals (English, Hindi and their PDFs) say so.

Nova Animate: the children, the family and the gods walk and wave with their legs and arms too

  • The animals already walked and waved with their parts. Now the Kids, the Family (Mummy, Papa, Dadaji, Dadi, Bhaiya, Didi) and the Gods (Bal Ganesh, Maa Lakshmi, Bal Krishna, Bal Hanuman) do too: put one on an empty layer, tap Move, then Walk. Its feet take turns, the body leans over the foot that stays, the arms swing, the head nods and the eyes blink. For Wave an arm goes up beside the head, waves twice and comes down again. Before, they hopped and leaned as one picture.
  • Each one moves as it is dressed and what it carries. The saree of Mummy and Dadi sways, and a sandal hides under it while the foot is lifted. Bal Ganesh's trunk sways and his big ears flap. Bal Hanuman's tail wags and his ears flap. Maa Lakshmi stays on her lotus while she sways above it.
  • What a person holds stays in the hand: Dadaji's stick, Bal Hanuman's gada and the flower of Maa Lakshmi stay with the body. So Dadaji and Maa Lakshmi wave with the right arm, and Bal Hanuman, whose right hand holds the gada, with the left one. Didi (a plate with a diya in both hands) and Bal Krishna (a flute in both hands) walk with their feet, and Wave moves them as one picture, as before, because they have no free hand. The Make it move sheet says which it is.
  • It works as it does for the animals: if you draw on the layer after the character, or put the character on a drawing, or Undo, the whole picture moves as it always did and nothing you drew is lost, and it is remembered when the animation is saved and opened again. All 22 are drawn exactly as before (checked to the last pixel): the parts are only a second way of drawing the same picture. The Assistant's stories are not changed (a god still floats there). The manuals (English, Hindi and their PDFs) and the Nova Animate page say it.

Nova Animate: animals walk and wave with their legs, arms and tail

  • Until now Walk and Wave in Make it move moved a character as one picture: it hopped and leaned, but its feet and arms stayed still. Put an animal from Pets or Wild on an empty layer, tap Move, then Walk: its feet take turns, the body leans over the foot that stays, the arms swing, the tail wags, the ears flap and the eyes blink. Wave raises an arm in front of its head, waves it twice and brings it down again, so the loop closes. The Move sheet says This animal is made of parts when it works.
  • 51 animals have parts: every cat, dog, bunny, pig, mouse, cow, duck, bear, panda, fox, frog, lion, monkey, elephant, koala, unicorn and tiger. Chicks, owls and penguins are drawn another way and move as one picture, as before. The Animated sticker Walking cat walks with its feet too.
  • The layer remembers which animal it holds and how it was put (turned, flipped, any size) and what the picture looked like then. As long as it still looks like that, the parts are used. If you draw on the layer after the animal, or put the animal on a drawing, the whole picture moves as it always did, and nothing you drew is lost. It is remembered when the animation is saved and opened again.
  • Every character is drawn exactly as before (checked to the last pixel); the parts are only a second way of drawing the same picture. The manuals (English, Hindi and their PDFs) and the Nova Animate page say it.

A page that did not load all its files starts again by itself, and a link with a stray character reaches its page

  • A file of a page (the script of an app, a stylesheet, a picture) that did not load, because the connection dropped for a moment or a new version of the site was being uploaded, used to leave the page without it, and an app without its script with nothing that answered a touch. After a moment the page now asks for the file again: if it comes, the page is loaded again, once, and works; if it does not, a bar at the bottom says so, with a Reload button. A picture that comes but cannot be shown is shown from the bytes of the file that was asked for again. Files that did not load were the second biggest group of the admin report of the week (about 21 reports).
  • A script that the browser cannot read at all is told apart from an error that a script throws while it runs: the page is loaded again once (the file may have come cut short), and if that does not help, the bar says that the browser is too old. One visitor of the week had Nova Animate dead on their screen with no word.
  • The service worker (the installable app, the editor that opens without a connection) kept every answer with a good status for ever: an error page that was sent as a picture would have been served again and again. It keeps only files of the right kind now, a page can ask it to let go of a file that it finds wrong, the store that may hold such copies is replaced by a new one, and it asks for its forty files four at a time, not all in the same second.
  • A link copied out of a chat often arrives with an invisible character after it (the one in the admin report is U+2060), or a full stop, a bracket, the Hindi danda, or in capitals. The host said "page not found" and the visitor left. The page-not-found page now takes the damage off and goes to the page that was meant (the visit is still counted as the visit of that link, with its source); for an address that is not a page of the site it offers the nearest pages.

Nova Animate, Nova Studio and the editor: clearer answers when the share menu, a picture or the microphone says no

  • Share (Nova Animate): a second tap while the share menu was opening was refused by the browser (“an earlier share has not yet completed”) and the person was told the menu could not be opened. A tap while it is opening now does nothing, closing the menu or a menu that is open already is not an error, and when the menu really cannot be opened the note that says to tap Download is shown with the message.
  • Pictures that cannot be opened (Nova Animate and Nova Studio): the browser’s fast way of opening a picture does not take everything, an SVG for one; Nova Animate now tries a picture element as well, for a sticker, a background and a photo to draw over (the Studio already did). A HEIC photo (what an iPhone makes) and a file that is not a picture each get a message of their own instead of “Couldn’t open that picture”.
  • Microphone (Nova Animate and the editor): when the page is open inside another app’s own browser (a link in a chat), the microphone is often refused there, and “allow it in your browser settings” sent the person to a setting that is not there. The message now says to open the page in Chrome or Safari.
  • Not changed: “Fast export failed” with NotAllowedError (one report: the standard export took over and made the video; I could not find where it comes from), and the messages that report a real limit (8 layers, a clip over 300 MB for Auto Caption, no sound in a file).

Nova Animate: a saved animation can no longer be cut short while it opens

  • A saved animation is read a picture at a time when it opens. If the page was hidden in that time (you went to another app, or the phone was locked), the app saved what it had read so far over the whole animation: an animation of 4 frames came back with 3, or with 1. Nothing is saved now until the animation is all there, and an animation with no frame or no layer is never saved. This was found while looking for the cause of an error in the admin report; it was not in the report itself.
  • A big animation on a slow phone can take more than 20 seconds to open. After 20 seconds the screen used to open half-read, and a touch could end in an error (celOf in the admin report). The screen now stays closed until the animation is all there. If the saved animation does not come at all, the screen still opens after about 20 seconds, as before. A missing frame or layer is also no longer an error when the screen is drawn again.

Nova Animate: a loop drawn with Select now selects what is inside it

  • The Select tool tells you to draw around what you want to move, and Box is the shape it starts with. But a Box only looks at where your finger starts and where it ends, and a loop ends where it started, so the box between them was nothing and the answer was “That box is too small”. It was the most common problem in the admin report of the week (23 of 71 reports, mostly on Android Chrome). Now a loop drawn with Box is traced like a Lasso: only what is inside it lifts off the layer, and while you draw, the dotted line follows your loop as soon as it closes. A line, a drag from corner to corner and a tiny scribble are not loops, so they work as before.
  • The hint in the Select sheet and both manuals say so.

Nova Studio: the text sheet no longer hides the picture, long text wraps, and Hindi stays whole

  • When you added a text on a phone, the sheet covered almost the whole screen, so you could not see your words on the picture until you pressed Done. The sheet now sits under the picture, which stays in view while you type and style (on a computer it is a panel beside the picture). On a phone it has two parts: Words (the box you type in, with the keyboard) and Style (font, size, colour, outline, shadow, box, bend and the rest). The tool rows step aside while you edit, and the colour sheet you open from it leaves the picture in view too.
  • A long sentence ran off both sides of the picture (a line of 46 letters was twice as wide as a square post). New texts now break at their spaces to stay inside the picture. A word is never cut, a line break that you type is kept, and Transform and Image size keep the lines where they were. A text of a design or of an older picture wraps once you change its words; until then it is left exactly as it was.
  • Hindi, and other scripts where marks join the letters (क्ष, स्ते, किशन), broke up when you used Letter gap or Bend: the vowel signs were drawn on their own, as dotted circles. A letter is now kept together with its marks, and a spaced line is measured the way it is drawn, so it sits in the middle of its picture.

Nova Animate: Bal Krishna and Bal Hanuman

  • Two more characters in the Gods tab of Stickers, drawn as children and with care, like Bal Ganesh and Maa Lakshmi: Bal Krishna (blue, a peacock feather in his hair, a flute at his lips, a yellow dhoti and a garland) and Bal Hanuman (a monkey face, a crown, a tilak, a red langot, a gada and his tail). That makes 103 ready-made characters.
  • The Assistant finds them by their names in English, Hindi and Hinglish, for example “Krishna ji ko dikhao”, “kanhaiya”, “Hanuman ji aur Ganesh ji”, “जय बजरंगबली” or “जय श्री कृष्ण”. They float gently like the other gods, and jai and shri in a greeting are not reported as words it could not find.
  • The word maa still does not turn a goddess that is not there (Durga, Saraswati and others) into Mummy, and it works with Krishna: “Krishna aur maa” gives Bal Krishna and Mummy.
  • The English and Hindi manuals (and both PDFs) and every page that says how many characters there are now say 103.

Nova Animate: an Indian family and two gods

  • Two new tabs in Stickers. Family: Mummy (in a saree), Papa (in a kurta), Dadaji (with his glasses and his stick), Dadi, Bhaiya (with a tilak and a rakhi on his wrist) and Didi (with an aarti plate and a lit diya). Gods: Bal Ganesh and Maa Lakshmi, drawn as children and with care, with a soft glow behind the head. That makes 101 ready-made characters, all in the same style.
  • The Assistant finds them by their names in English, Hindi and Hinglish, for example “Ganesh ji ko dikhao”, “Maa Lakshmi aur Ganesh ji”, “mummy ne diya jalaya”, “dadi aur dadaji” or “गणपति बप्पा”. A god floats gently when the Assistant adds it, instead of walking or dancing.
  • A god or goddess that Nova Animate does not have yet (Durga, Krishna, Hanuman and others) is never swapped for another character: “Maa Durga” and “Mata Rani” do not give you Mummy or a Queen. The casual word bhai in a sentence does not bring in Bhaiya either.
  • The 93 characters that were there are drawn exactly as before. The English and Hindi manuals (and both PDFs) and every page that says how many characters there are now say 101.

Diwali cards, in English and Hindi

  • The Diwali cards in the template list are drawn again: glowing diyas (lamps), strings of lights, star lanterns and a rangoli on a deep purple, ember, navy, magenta or peacock night, in Story, square and portrait sizes. Every part is its own layer, so you can change the words and colours, or move or delete a lamp. Free, like all the templates.
  • Four new topics under Festival, 7 designs each: Diwali (Hindi) (शुभ दीपावली), Dhanteras, Bhai Dooj and Diwali sale, with wishes in English and in Hindi. That makes 35 Diwali cards. Searching diwali, दीपावली, दिवाली, diya or rangoli finds them all.
  • Hindi words are drawn in a font that has Hindi letters and with no space added between the letters (spreading Hindi letters apart breaks their joins).
  • The links to the old Diwali cards (studio.html?tpl=fest-diwali-…) still open a Diwali card, now with the new design. No other template changed.
  • New pages: the Diwali card maker and the same in Hindi (मुफ़्त दिवाली कार्ड बनाइए), with the pictures of 22 cards, each opening in Nova Studio. The Templates page starts with them.
  • The pictures on the template pages now carry a version in their address, so a picture that was changed is not hidden by an old copy that the browser or the app kept. No new Firebase rules.

The admin dashboard: how many visits show no source

  • The report said “Most visits from other sites come from google.com (75%)”, which sounded as if most visitors came from Google. It left out the visits that show no source at all (a typed address, a bookmark, an app that hides where the link was), because only visits from another site were counted. Now every visit is counted once, on its first page, and Where visitors came from starts with No source shown and its share of all visits. What stood out says it in a line, and so does the PDF (with a note at its end).
  • A visit that is opened inside the Facebook (and Messenger), Instagram or TikTok app is counted under that app. These apps open a link in a browser of their own and often send no referrer.
  • A link that ends with ?utm_source=name (for example https://novaclip.tech/?utm_source=instagram_bio) is counted under its name, shown as “instagram_bio (tagged link)”, so a link that you share yourself can be followed.
  • The visits with no source are counted from the day this update is online. Until the days chosen for the report are all counted that way, the list says since that day (and so does the PDF), because the days before it would make the visits with no source look far too few.
  • The first page you open in a tab is marked in your browser until you close the tab (sessionStorage), so that the pages after it are not counted as new visits. Nothing else is stored, and still no cookies and no IP addresses; nothing is counted when your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control. The Privacy page and the FAQ say so.

Nova Audio: a cut that did not save

  • Saving a part of a song as an MP3 or a WAV file failed about every second time (“Something went wrong while saving. Try another format, or a shorter part.”), whatever the file was. It depended on exactly where the part started, so choosing another start made it work. It was so in the MP3 cutter, in Video to MP3 and in the Ringtone maker for Android. Now every part is saved, and it starts where you put the Start handle. M4A and M4R files were not affected.

Older browsers, and the microphone message in the editor

  • A browser from before 2022–23 cannot draw rounded rectangles on a canvas (roundRect), and the site did not allow for it. The moving picture of the editor on the Home page stopped after its first frame; in the editor a clip put on the timeline was not counted and the strip above the timeline stayed empty, and Compare stopped the preview; the Desert, Living room and Castle backgrounds of Nova Animate stayed empty. They now draw with square corners instead, and nothing stops.
  • A browser that cannot make a canvas at all (a phone that is short of memory, for example) no longer gives an error on the Home page, and the pictures that come after it are still drawn.
  • When the microphone cannot be used, the REC button of the editor now says what is wrong. It said “Microphone access denied” for everything, also when there was no microphone or another app was using it. Now it says No microphone found, Could not start the microphone (another app may be using it), or This browser cannot record voice (import a sound file instead), and “denied” only when the person, or the page, said no. A browser that cannot record at all no longer opens the microphone first and leaves it on.

The admin dashboard: Download report PDF

  • In the admin dashboard, Download report PDF has taken the place of Copy report. It makes a PDF of the report right in the browser (nothing is sent anywhere) and saves it with the day and the days you chose in its name, for example nova-clip-report-2026-10-21-30-days.pdf. It is the full report: the cards with what changed, What stood out, three pictures of the days (page views, visitors and new sign-ups), every list of the dashboard with all of its rows and not only the first few (Top pages, Apps opened, Tool use by app, Tool use, Free tools, Size and PDF pages, Alternative pages, Where the views go, Busiest days, Where visitors came from, Devices, Exports, Browsers, Operating systems, Languages, Export problems), the users (how many are new, active, with Google or with an email, not verified) and all of the problems with how many browsers met each one. A long list goes on in two columns over as many pages as it needs.
  • The numbers in it are always written with ordinary digits, even when the phone is set to a language that has digits of its own (Bengali, for example), because the two plain fonts of a PDF have no other digits, and the names of languages are written in English for the same reason. A letter those fonts do not have is written as ?.

Nova Animate: touching the screen while a saved animation opens, and a clearer message in Select

  • A touch (or a key) in the first moments after a saved animation was opened could meet layers and frames that were not there yet, and the animation reported an error. For that moment the screen now takes no touches and no keys, and it takes them again as soon as the animation is open. This holds when the page starts and when you open another animation from My animations. The way back to the editor always works
  • The Select tool now says what to do when the box or the loop you drew is too small: “That box is too small. Drag a bigger one around what you want to select.” A very short loop, which used to do nothing, says it too

Nova Animate: smoother moves, smoother lines, softer screens

  • Motion blur in Make it move and Draw a path: Off, Soft or Strong. Each frame is the picture at several moments around it, added together, so a fast move leaves a soft smear instead of jumping. It starts on Soft, the slow parts of a move are smeared much less, and the smear is never longer than a short stretch.
  • Choose 24 fps (or any speed that is 2, 3 or 4 times the old one) and Nova Animate asks whether to Keep the same speed: every picture is held that many times as long, so your animation plays as before and the moves you make from now on get more frames. A picture held for more than 4 beats becomes frames that share one picture, so it costs no memory. One Undo puts back the frames, the holds and the speed.
  • The Colour & size sheet has Smooth lines: the pen follows your finger a little behind, so a shaky hand draws a calm line, and it catches up when you lift your finger. It starts at 10, at 0 the pen draws exactly where you touch, and the distance is the same on the screen at every zoom.
  • Sheets, the dark layer behind them, messages and floating bars now rise and fade in softly in Nova Animate and Nova Studio (the same as Forms and Audio), the dialogs of the editor fade in, and buttons ease between their states and give a little when pressed. Only opacity, a small lift and colours move, so nothing on the page jumps. With Reduce motion turned on in the phone, sheets and messages just appear and buttons stop easing.

Nova Animate: effects, and words that appear

  • The menu has Effects: Snow, Rain, Hearts, Balloons, Confetti and Fireworks over your picture, on a layer of its own. They play on New frames made after this one, or over My frames, from here. Snow, rain, hearts and balloons are loops that lead back to the first frame without a jump; confetti and fireworks happen once and end with a clean picture. Choose how long and how much. One Undo removes the frames and the layer.
  • The new frames share the pictures under the effect instead of copying them, so an effect costs one picture per frame and also works on phones with little memory.
  • The Text sheet has Appear: Type on (a letter at a time), Write on (swept in from left to right), Pop in (a word at a time) or Fade in. Choose how fast, and how long the finished words stay. New frames are made after the one you are on; the last frame is exactly the words placed in one go, and one Undo takes them all away. Hindi and Bengali letters that join come as one.

  • Make it move and Draw a path have Add a shadow on the ground: a soft shadow under the picture on every new frame, on its own Shadow layer. When the picture jumps the shadow stays on the ground and gets smaller and fainter; on a path it goes along with the line.
  • Draw a path has Leave a trail: Ghosts (faint copies of the picture behind it) or Sparkles (little stars that fade away). The trail fades after the picture stops, so the last frame is only the picture.

  • Green screen: the FAQ told you to adjust a “threshold”. The editor has a Key Color, Tolerance and Softness, and the FAQ now says so
  • Export format: you choose MP4 (H.264) or WebM (VP9) in the Export window. If you choose MP4 and the browser cannot make it, the window says it will make WebM. The FAQ now says this, and that the window opens on WebM
  • Big exports: the FAQ, Help and the manual said other browsers keep the finished video in memory. On a computer, a file over about 400 MB goes straight to a file you choose. On a phone, an export of about 50 MB or more is written to the browser's private storage as it is made, and Nova Clip tells you before it starts if there is not enough space
  • Ripple trim works on the right edge of a clip only, and Alt switches snapping off while you trim an edge. The manual (English and Hindi), the shortcut list inside the editor and the manual's shortcut table now say so
  • First-time download sizes were wrong. The speech model for Auto Caption and Remove Filler Words is about 55 MB (not 75), the voice model about 50 MB (not 30), and Background Removal, Auto-Reframe and the Nova Studio cut-out each about 10 MB (not 15 MB and 1 MB). The editor, Nova Studio, the manuals and the tool pages now agree
  • The FAQ now lists everything the anonymous counts include, the same as the Privacy page

The Pricing and Features pages now match the editor

  • The Pricing page listed MP4 export, 4K export and LUT import under Pro. They are free today, so they now sit in the Free plan. Pro lists only what is planned: cloud project save, multi-device sync and priority support
  • The Features page said export was WebM only. Nova Clip exports MP4 (H.264) or WebM (VP9), from 480p up to 4K
  • Other lines now say what the editor does: three tracks (not unlimited), no vibrance control, chroma key with tolerance and softness, a five-band EQ and noise removal, and speed from 0.25× to 4× plus speed ramps. The About, Glossary and Training pages say the same
  • Nova Clip has ten title templates, not five. The Features, Home, About and Press Kit pages now say ten, and the Looks page shows all ten with the numbers each one uses
  • The Pricing page now explains the PRO tag. The “Notify Me” button did not notify anyone, so it is now a link to the Roadmap. The Glossary no longer says Nova Clip has a vibrance control

Free alternatives: how Nova compares with other apps

  • A new Free alternatives page, and a page for each of eight apps people use now: CapCut, InShot, Canva, Photoshop, remove.bg, iLovePDF, FlipaClip, Audacity. Each says what Nova does, what the other app does, and where the other app is the better choice
  • Every statement about another app comes from that app's own website, with a link and the date it was read. Prices and daily limits are left out because they change
  • The Free tools page links to the new list

Nova Studio: print copies of a passport photo in one tap

  • While you make a passport photo there is now a Copies button at the left of the tool bar. It opens Export already set to a print sheet, so you do not have to look for it. The sheet fills with as many photos as fit, with thin cut lines
  • The print sheet choices in Export now say how many copies each holds, for example 6 copies on a 4 × 6 inch sheet and 30 on A4
  • A layer that sits outside the picture is not drawn and is not saved. Studio now says so inside its box (“Outside the picture”), instead of showing an empty box. The Layers list also tells you that you do not need to copy the layer to get many photos

A shorter footer, and five buttons at the end of the home page

  • The bottom of every page is now four short columns instead of two long lists: Apps, Free tools (the popular ones, with a link to all of them), Help and Company, with Privacy, Terms and Sign in on a thin bar underneath. The six manuals are one link, All Manuals, and every page that left the footer is still one tap away from the Help Center, the top menu or the page that uses it
  • The footer now says what Nova is today: free tools for video, cartoons, photos, audio and PDF, and that your photos, videos and PDFs stay on your device
  • The home page ends with What do you want to make? and one button for each app: Video, Cartoon, Photo, Audio, and PDF and forms. The Help Center has a Feature guide tile, and the Features page links to the looks and title templates

Nova Forms: the PDF reader tries again

  • On a slow or dropped connection the PDF reader sometimes did not load, and choosing the PDF again did not help until the page was reloaded. Now the PDF tools try three times by themselves, and choosing the PDF again works as soon as the connection is back
  • When the reader still cannot load, the message now says why: no connection, the reader file is missing on the server, or the browser could not start it
  • A server that sends the reader file as the wrong kind of file no longer stops the PDF tools

User manuals in हिन्दी, and as PDF

  • A new Manuals page lists every user manual, with a button for each language and each PDF
  • The Nova Forms manual is new, from A to Z, in English and in हिन्दी (हिन्दी मैनुअल). A bar at the top switches the language and downloads the PDF to keep on your phone
  • The Nova Forms pages link to the manual, and Help search finds it in both languages
  • The Nova Clip desktop manual is rewritten to cover every feature, from import to export, and the desktop and Android manuals are now in हिन्दी too (डेस्कटॉप, एंड्रॉइड), each with a PDF
  • The Android manual now explains Beginner and Pro mode, and the smart tools. The manual tabs at the top no longer stay stuck over the menu while you scroll
  • The Nova Animate and Nova Studio manuals are now in हिन्दी too (Animate, Studio), with a PDF of each in both languages. Both English manuals moved onto the same layout as the others, with the contents list, the language bar and the tabs between manuals
  • A new Nova Audio manual covers the MP3 cutter, Video to MP3, the Ringtone maker and the Voice recorder with its noise remover, in English and in हिन्दी (हिन्दी मैनुअल), with a PDF of each. The four Nova Audio tool pages link to it. Every Nova app now has its manual in both languages

Nova Forms: Split PDF

  • Split PDF cuts a PDF into separate files: tap Every page, Every 2 pages (or 3, or 5), or tap Split here between two pages. Every file is shown as File 1, File 2 and so on, with its pages, before you split
  • Keep each file under the KB limit you choose, or at good quality with no limit. Pages are copied as they are when the file is small enough, so the writing stays sharp
  • The files come as a list with a Save button for each one, a Save all as a ZIP button and, on a phone that can share files, a Share button. A PDF that has a password can be split too, and the new files have none. Everything happens on your device

  • One page gives one JPG. More pages give a list with a Save button for each picture, a Save all as a ZIP button and, on a phone that can share files, a Share button that sends the pictures
  • Take out, turn or move pages first, use the Document look for scans, and open a PDF that has a password. The PDF is opened and the pictures are made on your device

  • Fixed: a PDF that opens without a password but has restrictions (for example no printing or copying) could come out with unreadable pages when its pages were copied as they are. These PDFs now become a clean new PDF

Nova Forms: more exam pages, and sizes brought up to date

  • New size pages for SBI, RRB, UPSC and CUET. Each has a table of sizes, a button that opens the tool already set to that size, and a line that says which notices the sizes were read from. Always read the size on your own notice
  • NEET and JEE: the signature is now 10 to 100 KB, as the 2026 bulletins say (older bulletins said 4 to 30 KB). NEET finger and thumb impressions have a button too
  • SSC: the 2026 notices take your photo live and ask for a signature of about 6 × 2 cm, 10 to 20 KB. The page and the quick setting now say so, and the 4 × 2 cm size is still there if your notice asks for it
  • New quick settings in the app for UPSC, RRB and CUET, and the IBPS settings now say IBPS / SBI because the sizes are the same

Nova Forms: Compress PDF and Merge PDF

  • Compress PDF makes a PDF smaller so it fits the KB limit of a form (Under 200 KB to start, or 100 KB, 500 KB, 1 MB, 2 MB or your own number). A PDF that is already small enough is left as it is, and you can take out, turn or move pages first
  • Merge PDF joins PDF files and photos into one PDF, in the order you choose, with the same size limit. The pages of a PDF are copied without change when they already fit, so the writing stays sharp
  • Pages of a PDF keep their own paper size. Scanned pages that have to be made smaller become lighter pictures, step by step and only as much as needed; the Document look makes writing darker and paper whiter
  • Pages for compressing a PDF to 100 KB, 200 KB, 500 KB and 1 MB, and a Menu with five tools
  • Your PDFs are read and made on your device and are never uploaded

Export now follows your edits

  • A video you trim, split, ripple-delete or cut together from several clips now exports as it plays on the timeline. Before, Export could give back the whole original video
  • The video is as long as the last clip on the main track. In the fast export a gap between clips is black, so use Ripple Delete to close a gap you do not want
  • Clips from different video files work in one export, and the sound follows each clip, with its volume and EQ
  • This also makes the Silence remover export the shorter video
