ProdHQ™ Studio Release Notes

Milestones in ProdHQ Studio's development, not a build-by-build log.

Show Countdown and safer Cloud saving

• Show Countdown in the video switcher: pick a look and a music bed, and the countdown runs on Program with the music timed to the numbers.
• Cloud saving no longer lets two people overwrite each other. If someone saved a newer version, Studio tells you instead of replacing it. Stale locks clear themselves, and long sessions stay signed in.
• A new install uses one seat per computer, even when a dock or VPN changes the network adapters.
• Match Loudness and Batch LUFS now use a true-peak limiter that actually holds the ceiling, then re-measure so the result shows what was delivered.

Remote Recording Session

• Invite mic-only browser guests into a Remote Recording Session for interviews and podcasts. Admit guests, push Script/Notes to their phones, use Talkback for cues, and record — each Host, guest, and local input lands as its own WAV in PRODUCE.
• The guest-facing side keeps plain labels (no engineer jargon) and works cleanly on mobile.

Video workspace

• A full Video workspace alongside audio: Video lanes, MASTER / CLIP preview, titles, PIP, chroma key, transitions, motion, and an FX rack (LUT, glitch, stabilize, denoise, and more). Export as MP4, MOV, or GIF. Express, Mobile, and Tablet get a Video mode too, exporting WebM.
• Waveform Pencil repairs small clicks, pops, and static spikes right in the waveform.
• Track Matte, Cookie Cutter, and Mask Generator (including Text) share the same keying and masking controls across Studio, Express, Mobile, and Tablet.
• Stills, logos, and titles have no length cap, and PNG/logo transparency carries through effects correctly. The title editor resizes to full frame.

Broadcast production tools

• WO Hand-off pushes a session through the full mix path with SCOT failure reporting.
• Air Check flags dead air and hot true-peak levels; Certified gated LUFS measurement keeps loudness numbers accurate for Smart Gain, Prep Batch, and WO Hand-off.
• Phone ClipCleaner is a one-click cleanup chain for phone interviews.
• RADIO BED is a dedicated lane that ducks under host, guest, and utility audio automatically.
• Crash recovery protects unsaved PRODUCE and Video work with periodic snapshots.

Editing and playback refinements

• Faster, more predictable editing across PRODUCE, EDIT, and RADIO: cleaner trims, fades, snapping, zoom, and playhead behavior.
• RADIO gained mouse-friendly editing — resizable waveforms, drag-to-trim, split at the playhead.
• EXPORT keeps a session's Intro/End markers, and Convert Sample Type handles sample rate, mono/stereo, and bit depth changes.

ProdHQ Studio launches

• Opens WAV, BWF, MP3, M4A, AAC, AIFF, FLAC, OGG, WMA, and CAF, plus audio pulled straight from phone and video interviews.
• Windows installer, with the ProdHQ LUMEN plugin included as an optional install.

Beta: accounts and Cloud foundation

• One identity across Studio, Express, and Mobile, plus ProdHQ | CLOUD session handling.
