What's new in version 25.12
- Docking System — We introduced a new, more flexible docking system, allowing you to group the widgets you want together or easily show/hide them on demand.
- Welcome Screen — We introduced a Welcome Screen to improve the experience for new users, and add some handy shortcuts for everyone. With your feedback this will evolve in the future.
- Menu Restructuring — Part of a long running discussion in the team, the menus were re-organized to make them more intuitive. Our long-time users may be confused initially (hopefully not for long, though), but we tried to follow some of the conventions in the professional editing world.
- Monitor — We revamped the monitor view of audio, with a minimap on top allowing to intuitively zoom parts of the audio.
- Markers — For consistency and to avoid confusion, we renamed timeline guides to markers, since the term guide was used interchangeably and therefore confusing, and they were in fact markers for a sequence clip. Markers can now have a duration that is shown in the timeline, and can be dragged in the timeline from the Markers list.

Version: 25.12
I'm confused, I downloaded v25.12.0. My OS 10.14.6 is compatible . But when I opened it there was a negative symbol. I clicked on the app the this message appeared "You have macOS 10.14.6. The application requires macOS 10.13 or later ".
