Changelog · VideoGhost

November 12, 2026

Continue on Mac: turn on Settings › Your iPhone › Receive projects from your iPhone, and a project you send from VideoGhost for iPhone opens in the Studio with its words, moments, headline and photos, ready to finish.
Shorts you saved with the iPhone app show up in Projects.
Library and Collections are laid out like Photos on your iPhone. Zoom out to Months, then Years.
The steps are now Cut, Moments and Photos.
Pick a photo to see the best of your similar takes and any text in the photo.
Previews show your captions as they'll appear in the short.
Hide swears: shown with asterisks in captions, still heard.
People matching is stricter, suggests up to 50 people, and learns from your merges and "not this person".
Indexing is faster on big libraries.
The "Made with VideoGhost" end card is always one second.

More of your library is encrypted: your videos (the copies VideoGhost makes from Photos and the ones you add from your Mac), your recordings, your voice audio, and the full-size photos used in your projects. It happens automatically, in seconds, the first time you open the update.
Finished shorts stay normal videos. They're the part you share, and they're already saved to your Photos.
Uninstalling VideoGhost removes its encryption key too, so anything left behind can't be read.
One VideoGhost at a time: if it's already open, a second copy tells you so instead of opening the same library twice.

Your library is encrypted on your Mac, with a key kept in your Mac's Keychain. That covers the photo index, people and faces, transcripts, projects, thumbnails and caches. The first launch after updating takes about half a minute to do it. Other apps can't read it.
End card settings: choose how long the "Made with VideoGhost" card stays on screen (0.5 to 2 seconds), and turn its clap on or off.

A new look: the clapper-ghost logo on the app icon, the launch screen and the welcome steps.
A new "Made with VideoGhost" end card: the clapper, with a clap, matched to your short's frame rate (24, 30 or 60 fps).
Searching for the words written in your photos works again.
If indexing hits a problem, it waits and tries again quietly instead of spinning.
