What's new

CamHeard keeps moving forward, and this is where we jot down briefly what has changed. Updates within the major version are free for everyone with a licence, and the app tells you itself when a new build is out — you don't have to keep an eye on this page.

August 6, 2026 — a clearer free version and a more reliable start-up

You can see what stays free

When the 14-day full trial runs out, the app shows you what you still get: projects of up to 20 clips — forever. You used to have to go looking for that yourself.

One-click purchase from anywhere

A licence status icon has appeared in the top bar. If export is locked, a panel opens where you can still see the sync on the timeline, and buying is one click away.

A more reliable start-up

The licence status and the update check are read the moment the app opens — they can no longer “miss” the launch.

July 12, 2026 — multichannel recorders and cleaner exports

Multichannel audio (poly-WAV)

Field recorder files with three or more tracks export with all of their channels. In Premiere they arrive as separate mono tracks, ready to mix; in DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut each channel gets its own track at the bottom of the timeline.

Channel-count badge

Clips with three or more audio channels carry an “N ch” label — both on import and after syncing. Multichannel recordings stand out at a glance.

Tidier timelines in Resolve

Recorder audio lands on the lower tracks, underneath all of the camera audio, and the first video track no longer sits empty.

Several shoots in one session

Two different shoots dumped in together no longer get tangled up — each one stays its own clean block. A single shoot spread across folders (one folder per camera) still comes together as one, just as before.

Exports you can't mix up

Every sync gets a unique name, shared by the sequence in your editing app and by the exported file.

July 2026 — the first public builds

CamHeard went public in the summer of 2026. Those builds are where everything the app is made of today took shape: export to three editing programs, working with camera folders, the sound that tells you a sync has finished, and the basic behaviour of the interface.

What we're working on right now

A plugin for Premiere Pro

So you can sync without leaving your editor. Plugins for the other editing apps will follow.

A Windows version

In the works. We're not naming a date until there's a finished build.

What you need to run it

macOS 11 (Big Sur) or newer on Apple Silicon. A one-time licence, no subscription — updates within the major version are free. The free version handles projects of up to 20 clips forever, and every download starts with 14 days of the full version.
