# Slopify 3.2.0

Released 30 September 2026.

3.2.0 renders videos several times faster, with the same picture and sound.

## Highlights

- **Faster renders.** A 2 h 22 min video with transitions and burned-in captions took about 2 hours to render. It now takes 36 minutes on the same computer.
- **Faster re-renders.** Rendering again after an edit makes only the clips that changed; making the clips was 20 of those 36 minutes.

## Video

- The picture's clips are made several at a time instead of one after another: up to eight at once, depending on your computer's cores and memory.
- With burned-in captions, a video of two minutes or more is encoded in parts side by side and then joined, instead of in one long pass.
- The sound is levelled and encoded while the picture renders, instead of after it.
- The clips of each project's last render are kept, so a render after an edit (captions, a few images, chapter cards) reuses every clip that did not change. A render that is canceled keeps the clips it finished, so the next one picks up where it stopped.
- The kept clips live in a hidden `.render-cache` folder in your Projects folder. All projects together keep at most 30 GB. Older projects' clips are removed first, and all of them are removed if your disk gets short on space. Deleting a project removes its clips, and backups and moving your files leave them out.
- Zooms and pans look exactly as before.

## Upgrading from 3.1.1

- **Nothing becomes outdated.** Videos you already rendered stay as they are. The first render of each project after upgrading makes all its clips; later renders reuse them.
- A render uses more of your processor and memory while it runs (up to eight runs of about 1.5 GB each on a large computer). Two videos rendering at the same time share it.
