Roadmap

This page is the decisions, not a release calendar. Most of it is what we decided not to build and why, because that is what tells you whether this tool fits your job. Nothing here carries a date.

Decided against

Each of these was a real choice with a real reason. The reasons are the useful part.

  • A cheaper, faster model for people

    Portrait mode used to run a different model, RVM, at half the credits. On a 30-second test clip it lost most of the trouser legs in a crouching frame and left a block of the room down the left edge; BiRefNet's portrait variant kept the figure whole on the same frames. Both modes now run BiRefNet at two credits per second. One answer about quality is worth more than a cheaper tier that fails on the frames people look at.

  • Removing a person from a shot

    People search for this and we do not do it. Cutting a subject out and erasing one are opposite jobs: erasing needs whatever stood behind them painted back in, which is inpainting, and that is not what runs here. We decided against a page that wins the search and then answers a different question.

  • A bigger transparent GIF

    Transparent GIF output is capped at 640 pixels on the long side and 15 frames per second, fixed in the encoder rather than offered as a setting you can raise. An uncapped 1080x1920 transparent GIF runs to tens of megabytes, in the one format whose whole point is that you can attach it to something. A control that only produces files nobody can send is not a feature.

  • A waitlist

    There was a waitlist page. It has been deleted. A waitlist is for something you cannot have yet, and this is live and buyable today; the page came from the template this site was built on and had no job here.

  • Session recording on the pages that show your video

    We use Microsoft Clarity for heatmaps, and it is switched off entirely on every page that can show your own footage, rather than recording those pages with the player masked out. A masked recording of a video page is still a recording with holes in it.

Open, and undated

One thing we know is missing. We are not going to tell you when it lands, because we do not know.

  • Progress detail, and something that tells you it finished

    A 30-second clip takes about five minutes; the two measured provider runs were 272 and 300 seconds. Right now you watch a page for all of it: there is no progress beyond "working", and nothing reaches you when the file is ready, so a long render means keeping the tab open.
