Showreel Studio

20 releases in October, from 0.3.3 to 0.16.0.

• 0.12.0: A daily copy of the database and the files in Google's EU multi-region, with alerts when a copy fails and a runbook section ("London is down") for running the service in Belgium on the copies.

• 0.13.0: Takes are kept: voicing a film again reads only the parts whose words, voice or direction changed, or that never finished, and a part that read well keeps its take.

• 0.14.0: The help assistant: ask a question in your own words and get an answer from the help articles, with links to the ones it used, and a plain "the help doesn't cover this" when it doesn't.

• 0.15.0: Square and vertical cuts can be framed by hand, line by line, instead of following the cursor: pan plans the square crop and focus the vertical close-up, so each lands on a click before the cursor does.
