Performance Update: Dramatically reduced rendering times

I've been busy for the past few weeks on something that's been bugging me since we originally launched - render times.

For those of you working with longer videos, you know what I mean. A one-hour video could take a painfully long time to render. Sure, you could go make yourself a cup of tea, but it really just kills the creative flow.

So I rebuilt the rendering engine.

Your videos are now processed in a fundamentally different way — faster and at scale. Depending on your video, you can potentially render an hour-long project in under 10 minutes. In my opinion, it changes what SoundMadeSeen feels like to use.

This has been one of the most significant pieces of work since we launched, and it's the kind of thing I've wanted to tackle for a while. It's not a flashy new feature you'll see on a changelog - it's infrastructure work - but I think you'll feel the difference the moment your next render completes.

And it's just the beginning. We're in an exciting phase of development right now, and faster rendering is the foundation for a lot of what's coming next.

Stay tuned - there's more to share soon.

Thanks for your support.
