GIF background removal adds cross-frame editing, edge refinement, and local background removal

Frame editing now lets you apply changes to the current frame, the same area in following frames, or all frames. It also adds edge refinement and local background removal for cleaning difficult areas, with four-direction canvas panning and a thumbnail navigator for precise work after zooming.

Screen recorder now includes preparation time

Added a 3, 5, or 10 second preparation time before screen recording starts. After choosing a tab, window, or screen in the browser sharing dialog, the countdown gives you time to switch to the target and prepare it. The countdown is not included in the saved video.

Improved timeline preview while trimming GIFs

Improved the Video to GIF timeline experience so dragging the main trim range, playback marker, and layer timing controls feels smoother while the video preview still snaps to the final selected frame after dragging.
