With IBC behind us, we’re closing out the Summer of Shipping and kicking off the Fall of Features—our most jam-packed release window yet.
This dual-month roundup covers everything we launched across August and September that you didn’t see at IBC: powerful post-IBC updates, quiet quality-of-life wins, and a few features that may have flown under the radar.
Here’s what’s new.
Contents
Enhanced search
Find exactly what you’re looking for faster than ever
Now you can instantly surface any media, folder, or project across your account with Frame.io’s new enhanced search. By supporting fields like name, file type, project, status, keywords, creator, and more—in addition to general phrases and titles—this update gives creatives and managers precision control over how they locate and manage assets.
You can even search multiple fields at once using commas—so a search like “Audio, .wav, Needs Review” helps you hone in on exactly the file you need. All results are returned instantly without having to press enter.
Premiere panel (beta) upgrades
Everything you need from Frame.io, right where you’re already working
We’re constantly upgrading the Frame.io Premiere panel to make editing feel smoother. That means you can do even more right inside Premiere, without stopping your work or losing focus.
First, there’s a new way to browse Frame.io comments faster—so you don’t have to search clip by clip. Imagine a teammate asks, “Did anyone already leave notes on the opening sequence?” Just open the Sequences tab to quickly scroll through Frame.io-powered comments across all open Premiere projects.
You’ll also find a redesigned export modal that summarizes your export settings and lets you upload directly to a version stack in Frame.io or as a new file.
Quick Share (available soon) will live directly inside Premiere—making it easier to share edits instantly. Plus, you can sync comments in Frame.io to markers in Premiere so you maintain comment sync when editing.
And there’s even more. See all the panel updates in our release notes for September and August.
It’s all about helping editors stay in flow, so they can stay focused on the creative. Stay tuned—this panel will become generally available in the shipping version of Premiere Pro 25.6 this fall.
Zapier, Make, and Adobe Workfront Fusion integrations (V4 GA)
Automate work without needing a developer
The new Frame.io Zapier, Make, and Adobe Workfront Fusion integrations have officially launched with full compatibility for the Frame.io V4 API—giving you the ability to create real-time automations across thousands of apps.
Build workflows with Zapier or Make that connect Frame.io to tools like Slack, Monday.com, Google Drive, and more with little or no-code—no dev team required. Or use the Fusion connector to build connected low-code or no-code workflows between Adobe Workfront, Frame.io, and other Adobe products such as Firefly Services.

Keyboard shortcuts for star ratings
Cull thousands of photos and images fast with just your keyboard
Rating media in default Rating fields is now lightning-fast thanks to new keyboard shortcuts. Press 1–5 to instantly apply a star rating or hit 0 to clear it. You can also advance to the next asset with just the arrow keys—so your hands never have to leave the keyboard.
These hotkeys adapt to your custom styling, appear as a toast overlay, and are also listed in the shortcut modal. Photographers and media managers can now review and organize high volumes of RAWs, JPEGs, and other files with fewer mouse clicks—speeding up post-shoot workflows and saving countless hours of tedious, manual review time.
Manual timecode entry
Jump to the exact frame you need without dragging the playhead
When frame-level precision matters, the new manual timecode entry field makes it easy to jump to an exact moment.
Type or paste any absolute timecode or relative value (like “+5”) to skip directly to the right frame. Especially useful for longer videos, technical reviews, or edit notes where timing is everything.
Transcriptions and captions updates
Collaborate in more languages and bring your own caption files
Transcription now supports nine new languages, including Arabic, Hebrew, Indonesian, Turkish, Vietnamese, Polish, Greek, Czech, and Ukrainian. That brings the total to 27 supported languages.
At the same time, the new Captions Ingest feature lets you upload .srt or .vtt caption files created outside of Frame.io, preserving details like translated subtitles, precise dialogue, or sound effects.
Together, these updates make Frame.io even more versatile for teams working across regions, languages, and accessibility needs.
Share improvements
Make secure sharing smoother and more inclusive
Now you can @-mention Share creators even if they haven’t commented yet, and they still maintain full control of visibility via Share settings.
We also improved how Shares handle non-ASCII passphrases, so you can now use smart quotes, emojis, symbols like €, and other UTF-8 characters without triggering access errors.
What’s New panel (web app)
Stay in the loop without leaving your workspace
The new What’s New side panel keeps you informed with announcements, release notes, and other updates—all without navigating away from the web app. It’s a subtle way to stay up to date while keeping your head in the work.
Storage Connect: multiple read-only S3 buckets
Access everything you need without copying a single file
You can now connect one read/write S3 bucket and any number of additional read-only S3 buckets to Frame.io. Media from all connected buckets shows up in one interface, and we generate previews and proxies for viewing—but your originals stay untouched in their source buckets. Think of it like adding more hard drives to your creative brain, all viewable in one place.
Storage Connect is an Enterprise Prime feature that lets you connect your own AWS-S3 bucket directly to Frame.io. If you want to see how Storage Connect would work for your organization, one of our expert team members can walk you through a demo.
iOS updates
Search smarter and upload from anywhere
iOS just got a few key enhancements.
You can now upload to Frame.io directly from other apps via the Share Extension. Also, global search now supports Status, Uploader, and Assignee fields.
We’ve also resolved bugs with image annotations and improved the reliability of uploads to make your mobile workflows smoother.
Quality of life improvements
Small details, big difference
We added scrubbable thumbnails for multi-page docs, more helpful error messages for locked or unlinked accounts, better accuracy for exported timecodes, and new metadata filtering options.
Bug fixes
Squashing the glitches that slow you down
Across August and September, we resolved bugs related to caption duplication, flickering in the transcription panel, emoji errors in comments, closed caption visibility, viewer download links, drop frame handling, audio asset loading, and more.
All so things work the way you expect. See the full fix list in the release notes →
