Alitu version 3.120 (released Monday Oct 5, 2026) improves recording reliability, adds a saved A–Z Library view, and fixes timing problems in video exports and social-clip captions.

More dependable recordings

• Better timing between speakers. Studio recordings use more accurate start times to align each participant’s audio, including guests who join after recording begins.
• Safer Start and Stop controls. Repeated or delayed requests are better handled to prevent duplicate recording starts or a cancelled recording starting later. You can also stop a recording while it is still starting.
• Better protection when saving. The final part of a recording is better protected during stopping and saving.
• Clearer recording status. Hosts see “Participant confirmation pending” when Alitu hasn’t confirmed someone’s recording.
• Safer microphone switching. If a replacement microphone cannot start, Alitu keeps the working microphone connected and explains what happened.
• A new microphone warning. “No microphone signal” appears after eight seconds without an incoming signal. It asks you to check your microphone, but doesn’t block recording. Muting within Alitu suppresses the warning; some noise-filtering microphones may also trigger it while quiet.

Find Library files more easily

• Choose “Sort: A–Z” or keep “Sort: Newest first.” Alitu remembers your choice across sessions and browsers. Bookmarked files remain at the top in A–Z mode.
• Consistent ordering elsewhere. Your preference also applies when choosing a destination folder or adding Library audio to an episode. Adding a whole folder follows that order.

Better video exports and previews

• Less audio/video drift after editing. Fixed a cause of picture and sound gradually slipping out of sync in exported episodes with many cuts, bleeps, muted sections or added silence.
• Better artwork-to-video transitions. Long fades between images and camera footage preserve more camera footage and follow the intended preview timing.
• Captions keep up with speech. Social-clip caption lines and Text-template pages switch when the next line’s first word begins, instead of lingering on the previous text.
• More dependable previews. Artwork previews display with the correct layout and proportions. Video previews used when creating social clips pause while buffering rather than letting playback advance without the picture.

There's a week of social content hiding in every episode you publish, and now Alitu pulls it out for you.

Say hello to Social Clips. Pick a moment from any finished episode, up to two minutes, and we'll turn it into a share-ready video or audio clip. Search your transcript to find the exact quote, choose portrait, square or landscape, and add captions, your artwork and an animated waveform.

Record once, then post all week: a big idea for Monday, a key quote for Tuesday, a quick tip for Wednesday. Your episode's already done the hard work, so let it do your marketing too.

You'll find it on any finished episode's publish page - just choose Social clips in the Download box.

For more info, see How to Create Social Clips

If you’ve recorded or uploaded video, just switch on Video Mode to cut and arrange your clips with video included. Create a full video version of your episode without ever leaving Alitu. Learn more about video editing here.

Like a good table of contents in a book, Episode Chapters let listeners jump to the parts they care about most, keeping them engaged and making your episode clearer.

Most podcasts don't use chapters so adding them gives you a real edge. It adds extra polish to your episode and makes it stand out.

Now with Alitu, adding chapters is a breeze. Add them automatically with one click, or manually if you prefer more control. Try it today by going to the Publish page and scrolling to the bottom of the page.

We've added a new audio filter: Bandwidth Extension. While it will make any speech sound more crips and full, you'll hear the biggest difference with phone calls and poor-connection recordings.

Here's a quick demo I recorded to show the difference. To enable the filter, go to Show Settings > App Preferences > Audio Clean-up and tick the Bandwidth Extension box. Save, and you’re set!

Alitu now supports PodPing, so your episodes can get to your listeners instantly after you hit Publish. No more waiting for apps to refresh their feeds ever so often. Forget those dinosaur times. 🦖

Best part? You don’t need to do a thing. It works automatically with any supported listening app, getting your show to your audience faster.

Add your funding link & get found locally

We’ve added support for the Podcasting 2.0 Funding tag! You can now add a link to your Patreon, donation, or membership page and supported apps (like Pocket Casts) will show a Support button:

Making it just a little easier for listeners to contribute with a single click.

We've also added three new fields: Show Location to help listeners discover your show locally, License for boring legal stuff 🤣 and Custom Text to verify your show without exposing your email.

You'll find these in Show Settings, under Show Details:

Hey podcasters!

We've got some exciting news to share: Alitu now records video!

For years, we've been laser-focused on making audio podcasting ridiculously simple. We've automated the cleanup, simplified the editing, and streamlined the publishing. But we kept hearing one question: "What about video?"

Why We're Adding Video Now

Let's be real - we've deliberately avoided video until now. Not because we couldn't build it, but because we wanted to perfect our audio workflow first. We believe in doing one thing incredibly well before moving to the next.

But we also believe in helping podcasters be heard by more people. And today, video is one more powerful way to grow your audience.

"Video is 100% not required for every show, but we're not blind to the fact that video can be a great tool to grow your podcast," says Jacob, our Head of Growth. "There's no shortage of podcasts now on YouTube doing really well. And ultimately every podcaster wants to have their voice heard by as many people as possible."

What You Can Do Today

Starting right now, you can record 1080p video alongside your audio in Alitu. When you're done, you'll get an MP4 download with all participant videos neatly arranged in a grid - ready to upload straight to YouTube without any additional editing.

And yes, this is included for ALL users at no extra cost. No tiers, no limits, no "success tax."

Still Audio-First at Heart

Don't worry - Alitu is and always will be an audio-first platform, and audio-only podcasts are working as well as ever. There's something beautifully accessible about audio-only podcasting.

But now you can have the best of both worlds: the simplicity of Alitu's audio tools with the reach of video.

What's Coming Next

This is just the first step. We're now working on reflecting your audio edits in your video exports, so when you cut something in your audio, it'll automatically be cut from your video too.

"We're going to do for video podcasts what Alitu has been doing for years for audio - make it radically simpler," says Colin, our founder. "We've spent dozens of hours interviewing podcasters to understand exactly what they need in a video workflow, and we're excited to build it."

Help Us Shape the Future of Video Podcasting

The easiest way to make an audio podcast now includes video recording. And we're just getting started!
