Faster performance. New category-by-day report. User experience improvements.
New Features
New Category-by-day Report
Report shows daybreaks and all elements contained in that day, for one specific category
New Homepage
We re-designed the homepage to accommodate an upcoming feature: “My Productions”
Added a new left-side-bar for navigation
New “Submit Feedback” form that does not rely on Google Forms (some users weren’t able to submit without Google Accounts, so we migrated to Typeform as a service")
Improvements / Bug Fixes
Improved speed of dragging & dropping strips, and inputting data.
Problem:
Some of our beta users who built files with many hundreds / thousands of strips reported slow performance once the file got large.
Solution:
We re-wrote the visual rendering engine behind the Stripboard to “virtualize” the list. Dragging, dropping, and scrolling through thousands of strips should be snappy now.
We are incrementally re-writing visual components throughout our app to use CSS instead of Javascript to further improve load times, speed, and usability. This will be a continual effort over the next few weeks. Expect things to get faster each week.
UI Polish and pixel-perfect adjustments to
“Create a report” modal
“Filtering reports” modal
Stripboard Manager, Calendar Manager, Layout Manager, and Color Manager have all been updated so that when you open the manager, the currently-active Board / Calendar / Layout / Color is already highlighted in the list.
Fixed the sort-order in the Reports Manager so that most-recently-created report is top of list.
Fixed the “rename” functionality so that the pre-filled name is correct
Fixed the sort-order within Element Manager > Background Category > Background Quantities list
The June 2026 Cinapse release adds folders to every manager, four new script importers (Movie Magic MSD, Final Draft FDX, PDF, and Scriptation JSON), revision colors for stripboards, category presets, and more.
Cinapse’s rebuilt Reports system introduces reusable presets, batch generation, and high-fidelity customization to eliminate repetitive setup and give filmmakers full control over report output.
