Updates / Amplify for Mobile

Add rows and clips to timelines

· Build 1.3.0

You can now build a timeline straight from your phone. Add rows and clips on mobile, and step through footage with Piston-style stepping and fast-forward controls.

🚀 New Features

📱 Add Rows to Timeline

You can now add a new row to your timeline by tapping the “Add Row” button in the timeline toolbar.

📱 Add Clips to Timeline

Introducing powerful new clip-creation tools in the timeline:

  • When a row is selected and the playhead is over empty space, tapping “Add Clip” opens a create clip modal, with default start/end times set to -5 and +5 seconds around the playhead.
  • If no row is selected, users are prompted to choose a row before adding a clip.
  • If the playhead is overlapping an existing clip, users will be prompted to move it to an empty spot first.
  • The clip creation modal features a +/- 60 second slider for adjusting the clip’s start and end points.
  • Start and end time fields are also directly editable via text input.
  • When dragging the handles or adjusting times via text, the video playhead jumps to reflect the new time, helping you fine-tune your clip selection.

📱 Video Player Enhancements

Stepping and fast-forward/rewind controls have been updated for a smoother experience, similar to Piston:

  • Tap right while playing → Skip forward 5 seconds
  • Tap left while playing → Skip back 5 seconds
  • Tap right while paused → Step forward frame by frame
  • Tap left while paused → Step backward frame by frame
  • Hold right while playing → Fast forward at 2× speed
  • Hold left while playing → Rewind in 1-second increments

🔧 Improvements

  • Timeline toolbar icons have been reordered so commonly used actions appear closer to the left—making them quicker to access without scrolling.
  • Mute status in the video player is now remembered globally, even after closing and reopening the app.

🐞 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the upload progress bar would not show as complete after a video finished uploading.
